Why don't colors match from Library Browser to Camera View?

[Kilgore Trout]

Kelly, post a picture of what you see on your screen. Also, if you have Pro, you might want to check your ambient lighting in the 3D Settings. If you have set these too low, then all of your materials will probably look too dark.

Ken, ceilings are always darker then walls. This is a side effect of the way the lighting model in the program works. The other thing you might notice is that your ceilings will get noticably brighter when you do a final view. This is because the program has different settings in final view that make the lighting effects look more realistic. The default lighting will place a light up near the ceiling that tends to light up walls and floors but won't light up the ceiling well. You can add more lights to the room and that will ususally help. You can also add at least one light that is down low and you ceiling will look better. In Pro, you can use the 3D>Add Lights tool to add a light without a fixture that you can then open and adjust the height down.
