Gen lighting qestions

dholm

I have saved the shader light as a subset. (Thats to the person that posted about subsets. I learn more by reading the forums that I have then from other sources.) My light is a perfect shade of green. How do I add other lights to a serene? When I double click on the light I want to use and it replaces my green light? What do I use and how do I put a spotlight on a face? I just started learning how to use lights thanks for any help and tips that you can give me.

If you ADD a light from a SET the set replaces your light by loading the set. Right click on the light you wish to add and use Merge. That will add the light set without replacing your other lights. Any lights made from the Create menu will add and not replace also. I hope this helps.

Thank you that is want I needed to know. I have started a txt file so I can cut and paste all the tips and help so I can check my notes first before I post. Thank you and all the others that take the time to answers all the questions that we post.

Your Welcome, and I have a personal Tips text file I have gathered from here myself. You will find it very useful I think. I still use mine.

I just did a light tutorial on the Art Studio thread linked in my signature. It has screenshots and shows you how to place three distant lights, and a spotlight on the face. This is the second thread, the first thread has 1500 posts and has light information scattered through it. The thread was created for beginners. It started when I started and I documented things I learned. There is a reference section that showcases the best tips from the forums so it is located in one place.

The light tutorial begins here: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/28138/P165/#432805
