Lighting Panel
RMS 18 includes a new Lighting Panel, which provides access to commonly used
controls for all lights and emissive geometry in a scene. There is a table of
settings for quick access, as well as a solo feature which allows quickly
viewing the isolated effects of individual lights/geometry.
|
The top left section of the panel is a list of lights in the scene.
When a light is selected from this list a row of controls is added to
the table at the bottom. The list of settings shown as columns in the
table can be edited under the lighting panel's Layout menu. |
The top row of the table is a special set of Column Controls that can be used
to set the values for all controls in a column, via a right-click popup menu.
|
The top middle section shows a list of Light Sets, which allows for
quickly selecting a group of lights to be added to the table. Select
several lights and click the icon to create a light set. When a set is
selected from the list all of its lights are populated into the table. |
The top right section is a list of bookmarks, which can be used like
lighting presets associated with the scene. Click the icon to create a
stash of settings. Click on a bookmark name in the list to restore the
settings. This can allow for quickly switching back and forth to compare
while re-rendering. |
