Intensity question
« on: October 26, 2017, 10:36:02 PM »
Hey All,

I'm experimenting and placed several effects on 1 model for an entire song.  I did not alter intensity of each effect.  Is it possible to control the intensity for a model over multiple effects ...  For example can you limit all effects on a model to a set percentage of intensity?  Or do I have to go back and set each effect's intensity level individually?

Thanks

in your controller, you may have option to reduce the lighting levels or i think this works.
 goto each model in the layout tab, click on the dimming curves edit selection and drop the brightness slider accordingly. RE Render and all the effects for that model should be changed.

You can set brightness at the model level using dimming curves.

Dimming curves......Okay thanks guys....  I looked at that but wasn't sure it was the best place to tweak intensity/brightness...

I believe it is confusing to a lot of folks in that the brightness setting is in the dimming curves window.  One does not have to do anything with dimming curves to change the brightness.  As a newbie many years ago I was always leering of touching dimming curves since it was another of those things that I knew nothing about.  I wish answers would reference "brightness setting within the dimming curve window".  Just my 2 cents.

Guess we should swap it to set the Dimness of the model in the Brightness Curve settings.
