Is there something I can do to set opacity on the black part of the lights as I use as shadows ?

2nd question : is there a way to set only outside faces render, as I want to add a outline style to my 3D models (by duplicating the meshes, lil' scale, and black texture), but for this to work I have to be able to set visible only outside of faces textures

I think I know what you are trying to do, what do you mean only 'outside' faces of texture?

For the my 2nd question, the outline I try to get, this is how I'm doing it in Blockbench :

I duplicate every meshes, I do a little rescale and then I paint in black the backface of the entire duplicated meshes.

In Blockbench, to get this result I have to specify that I want the preview to render only outside of faces :

But when I import this model with the outline in Construct, It renders Outside AND Inside faces :

Sorry again if I'm unclear, I'm doing my best ^^'
And thanks again for your help !

I see, sorry I don't see a way of doing this in 3DObject right now. It will look different, but you might try applying one of the C3 'outline' effects to the object and see if this different style of outline will work.

Can you please highlight the areas that you want me to look at? I don't know what part you are discussing.

So, for my first question : This is my WIP scene without lighting :

When I add lighting to create shadow I get this :

I can only manage to get 100% black shadows, what I would like to get is this (quick photoshop where I put shadows at only 30% opacity) :

Are the shadows separate 3DObjects? If they are, you can try setting their opacity to 30%.

no they are not separate objects, I only used the lights actions included in the 3D Object plugin

The part that enables darkness is the "Enable lights True" action. Thing is it's 100% black, I would like to be able to set this color/opacity

(screenshot with only "Enable lights True" action)

Ah, I think I see what's going on try setting the ambient light color from black to a lighter color.
