Using Scenes to switch light rigs
-
A user was asking about how to switch between lights down and lights up for a screening room model he was developing.
Rather than having to recalc lighting, I thought I'd try using a trick we commonly use in video games by flipping the viewer to a different location (but identical viewing direction).
What I did was make the whole model a Component, duplicate it "next door" and set up Scenes (with no Interpolation) to switch your viewpoint. But with 1 room lit, the other not lit (well lit just by the plasma display).
What it looks like, is you're turning the lights on and off!
I thought the movie was appropriate for us!
