lighting question!

Post by ibra » 04 Jun 2013, 12:08

so i have a human i am working on. he has SSS and his eyes have SSS too.
i want the scene lights to affect his geometry, and i want to exclude the eyes from the scene lights and make them light up ONLY from a point light that will affect the eyes and ONLY the eyes.
how can i set that up?

Use associated lights.

Model/Primitive/Light/Associate Light

...and every light has a group that is called "Associated Model" (under property "Light"). Just put your models in there and switch the "Selective Light" parameter as you like in the light´s ppg...Objects will get included or excluded from that lightsource..
hope that helps ;)

I'll take note of this, thanks!

Does this work for other render engines - Arnold, Redshift, 3Delight, etc?
