Light Lab PRO v2

Documentation | Discord | --Roadmap--

>>>>Read the documentation before using. <<<<

IMPORTANT: The package includes baked lightmaps to showcase the Lightmap Blending feature on a Demo Scene. This is entirely optional and we suggest not importing them to drastically reduce the package size. They are located under Assets>Day Night Cycle>Baked Lightmaps

The tool is divided into the following tabs/sections:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Studio Lighting:

This Point of Interest (POI) based tool will simplify lighting composition and placement by giving you the option to easily create lighting setups used in film and photography.

It includes controls for the following parameters and options:

• Per light edit (type, mode, color)
• Global intensity
• Arrangement radius, offset and variation
• Studio Light naming (key, fill, rim, main)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Presets:

Change your scene look with a 1-click atmospheric preset. Choose your look from a curated list of presets that include HQ and Stylized setups.

It includes Starter Presets with thumbnails and you can add your own.

Additional per light presets.

They include:

• Global Presets (a combination of FX &Settings, Volumetrics, PRO Cookies and Animation presets per light)
• FX & Settings Presets
• Volumetrics Presets
• PRO Cookies Presets
• Animation Presets

The presets are a combination of effects and features of the tool with settings made by us. You can create and add your own as well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

• (good for constant looping sounds)
• Material Changer
• Change material color and emission of gameobjects affected by light color. You can also instantiate materials.
• Basic Settings

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Volumetrics:

Raymarching:

• Directional Light contribution only

Control: anisotropy, scattering and radius. It also features a god ray caster which emits light shafts directly from the clouds.

Froxel based lighting and fog.

• Froxel Lighting and Fog:
• Global Fog that accepts directional light, point and spot light contribution
• Local Fog Region
• Screen Space Multiple Scattering: Makes far objects appear out of focus with the fog.

This tool also adds dynamic changes to skybox to simulate time of day. The user can set skybox and directional light changes during time of day, such as: sky color, cycle speed, sun/moon color, sun/moon size and moon phase.

It includes:

• Directional Light and Sky + Celestial Night Sky + Stylized Clouds + HQ Clouds + Volumetric Clouds with Physically Based Sky:
• Stars
• Star Clusters
• Nebula
• Galaxies
• Cloud Settings
• Moon Manager
• Moon textures
• Moon Phase
• Moon Size
• Lightmap Blending
• Calculate lightmaps in 4 times of day and it will blend them as the day night cycle passes, or
