We used mcpaintings to import our own paintings as Resource Files but that fact should not matter. Paintings displayed on North or South walls (walls running east/west) are bright and clear. Paintings displayed on the East or West wall are considerably dimmer. To reproduce, put up any well-lit painting, same one, on two adjacent walls. The difference is clearly visible. True in 26.2 and 26.3 at least. Expected result: EW should be as bright as NS are.
