I always wanted lighting on my paintings as a home owner, What I have done with mine is bought crate loads of tatooine table lamps and hung them above my painting recessing them in the wal as far as I could. Gives a great uniform klight effect, and looks good to.

Does anyone know how you get paintings to light up uniformly? I put painting on the walls of my generic small house on Tarquinasand my medium Naboo house on Chilastra, but the painting are always in shadow unless they're near a lamp. The situation with my generic house is even worse, because if I add lamps to try to light up my paintings, my retinas start burning off.

Meanwhile, if I look in the city hall, pretty much all the paintings on the walls are uniformly bright. I look behind them best I can, and I don't see any candles or such behind them. Tried using candles and such, but I could notreproduce that uniform brightness. If I try positioning the candle or such behind the painting, the painting blocks the light. The party poster is the best way to demonstrate. Stick that sucker on the wall of a medium generic house and you almost can't see the details at all without a light source.

The issue isn't as bad with my Naboo house on Chilly, but I still would love to know how to do it... or is it a special property of the civic structures that they can do this? I noticed it in cantinas as well - uniform brightness on paintings without a light source.

Any ideas?
