Which Lighting Do You Use
Added 2023-01-09 20:00:16 +0000 UTCHi,
I would like to know which of the current lighting options you use when you play VSR, so I can mod and improve the not used ones. Also I want to try something out and need to know if I could utilize 1-2 of the existing lighting buttons.
You can make as much selections as you want to. I will make a start with the lightings I use myself.
P.S. The default lighting, just after the scene is loaded is "L1"

I use L2 sometomes too :D And yeah there are always only 2 lights active, which come from the front left and right, so the back is dark. One reason for 2 lights only is because I had very weird shadow effect (like here https://imgur.com/Sf6toGy) when I add 3rd lighting. With time I figured out that it has something to do with the amount of pixel lights active in the options. I am not sure how it would impact performance, when this is activated and 3rd light is added. I will add 3rd dimensional light to the scene though and make a toggle to turn it on/off. Have already experimented with this and it looks not so bad :)

For better shadows on the models I would need to move the lights closer to them and reduce the range/intensity, otherwise the models become too bright compared to the environment. But reducing the lighting power makes the room darker, which is fine though since it would be just 1 or 2 of the 8 lighting options. That’s what I want to try to add btw and wanted to know if I could use one or two of the existing lighting buttons for that :) Also good that you mentioned Vamurai. He has great intimate lighting in his scenes for sure. Gonna recheck them and see what I can learn from there :D

2023-01-11 05:32:38 +0000 UTCI like L2, but i think all of them are missing backlighting / lighting by the bed.The back of the character is too dark. I usually end up turning on the bed scene light, even though it's only meant to be turned on for the bed scenes.

2023-01-10 07:30:09 +0000 UTCYeah, mostly just the default (L1) for me. Imo, the others options are 'interesting', but tend to make the char's skin look a bit weird for me (or I just lack the savvy to make them look good, idk ...). I could be talking out my ass, but I think that what is needed most for "nonconventional" lighting to work well is lots of SHADOW - and I'd guess that's pretty hard to achieve in that cozy-cuddly dormroom setting? Vamurai's scenes are what I'd think of in terms of 'good unconventional lighting' - but otoh, Vamurai's scenes are WAY less flexible than yours in terms of choice of positions etc.
