Higher memory consumption than with regular Intensity Multilight |
| Comments | Each emitters influence can also be exported as a separate image, allowing for even more control in your postproduction application | Not available for IES emitters. Incompatible with Shadow Channel | |
| IES Lights | IES and EULUMDAT files work fine when MultiLight is disabled | IES and EULUMDAT files work fine in Intensity MultiLight mode | IES and EULUMDAT files are not compatible with Color MultiLight mode |
| Warning |
