Info

There is a global override flag to enable/disable the export of all cone and point lights in the scene. See Render Options: Scene.

Softbox

Softbox widget shows emitter dimensions and direction

...

  • Hide from camera: Enabling this option makes the lamp geometry invisible to the camera, but still allows it to contribute to the lighting calculation (it will cast shadows, refract etc).
  • Hide from Reflections / Refractions: When enabled, the lamp geometry will not be reflected or refracted in other objects.
  • Hide from Global Illumination: When enabled, the lamp geometry will be visible, but it will not cast shadows or reflect light back onto other objects.
  • Width, Height: The width and height of the Softbox. The width is always level with the ground plane.

Parameters Tab

  • Quality: (1-100%) Controls the number of light-emitting triangles created at render time. In most cases a setting of between 1 and 10 is sufficient. If light on neighboring surfaces looks uneven ("blotchy"), increase this parameter. Higher values require longer to render.

IES

Relative intensity distribution pattern indicators for three IES lights

...

  • Open: Select the IES or LDT file. A 2D sectional representation of the distribution pattern is displayed below the filepath field.
  • Delete: Remove link to the file.
  • Intensity: Override the intensity of the light as defined in the IES file.

    Info

    Only the default, 1.0, represents the fixture's intensity accurately.

Parameters Tab

  • Spin: Controls the rotation of the fixture about the axis defined by the light origin and COI. The origin of rotation (0 degrees) always points ‘down’ to the ground plane (XY plane).
  • Length: Controls the length of the IES distribution pattern widget in the 3D modeling space.

...

  • Open: Select the image file to be projected. Both standard and HDRI formats are supported.
  • Delete: Remove link to the file.
  • Intensity: Light intensity.

Parameters Tab

  • Angle: Field-of-view of the projection
  • Spin: Controls the rotation of the fixture about the axis defined by the light origin and COI. Zero degrees results in the image appearing "upright" relative to an observer on the ground plane.
  • Blur: Defocus De-focus the image. Values greater than 100% are permissible, and may be necessary to achieve sufficient blur when the projector and projection surface are at a great distance.
