Common Lighting Rollouts and Dialogs

The topics in this section describe rollouts and dialogs whose controls are common to both photometric and standard lights.

Topics in this section

Exclude/Include Dialog
The Exclude/Include dialog determines which objects are not illuminated by a selected light, which objects are considered in a Matte render element, or which objects are excluded from reflections generated by the Quicksilver hardware renderer.
Shadow Parameters
The Shadow Parameters rollout is displayed for all light types except Skylight and IES Sky, and for all shadow types. It lets you set shadow colors and other general shadow properties.
Atmospheres and Effects for Lights
The Atmospheres & Effects rollout lets you assign, delete, and set up parameters for atmospheres and rendering effects associated with the light. This rollout appears only in the Modify panel; it doesn't appear at creation time.
Advanced Effects Rollout
The Advanced Effects rollout provides controls that affect how lights affect surfaces, and also includes a number of fine adjustments and setting for projector lights.
