CC3 Glow effect not working

N1GHTMAR3

So, I am just starting to mess around with the software and it seems the glow effect on the land isn't working. I watched a tutorial video about CC3 and really like the glow effect, however, it doesn't do anything, no effects at all. I checked other effects and they work just fine. Any cause for that?

Check that your landmass is actually on the same sheet as the glow is defined on.
Also try increasing the values for strength and blur radius for the effect, they may be set too low to produce a visible effect.

N1GHTMAR3

Uh. Oh. I forgot about the forums' existence. I apologize...
Both strength and blur radius have been set to high numbers, it is safe to say that it is no problem of visibility.
Again, other effects do work smoothlessly.
(I haven't touched the software since the issue, but now I have a need for it).
The inner glow is working, though?...

Can you post your map here (or an example map with the same problem) so we can take a look at what might be wrong?

N1GHTMAR3

Thank you for your quick response. I can not not do that at the moment, but I will try to do so as soon as possible. I won't take months to reply, though. (Again).
Another question, can I use the inner glow's effects similar to the glow's?

N1GHTMAR3

Ah. This is quite embarrassing. The landmass wasn't on the same sheet, just as you suggested. Thank you. It works now. I'll go back to tutorial videos.

We all make mistakes. I make lots of mistakes.

N1GHTMAR3

Well, tutorial videos are still necessary for me at the moment.

I still get in quite a tangle with sheets at times. Everyone has good and bad days

N1GHTMAR3

Hopefully, I'll be able to create something that can be lookable at least.

Loopysue

Of course you will. It just takes a bit of time and practice. That's all

(and a good day or two :P )

Thanks, I'll spend some more time on it.
