(VAM) What is the best way to add/manage light in a scene?

[PRES1DENT]

Does anyone know something easier than Select/Add > Atom > Invisible Light, but also no VamX as I am trying to replace it.

I tried typing light in the hub, but didn't find anything satisfactory.

Also if you know something for the mood changer that would be a bonus. I tried Alive, but it interferes with timeline and acts weirdly. I know you can do that individually in morphs, but maybe there's something like a preset plugin.

I appreciate it. Thank you!

You know you can use subscene lighting right theres alot of good ones, that or make the light rigs yourself

No, I don't know. Would you mind detailing that? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Add atom>> Misc>> Add subscene>> Load Subscene. type light in the search bracket and if you have any lightrigs already downloaded they should appear.

And thats pretty much the basics of lights.

Bonus adding tonemap colorcorrecting and a lut from post magic changes the light for deeper colors

Oh, wow, thank you, I had no idea of any of that.

+1 for subscene lighting rigs, it's the way to go.

Best way i learned was by dissecting scenes atom by atom, you know play with it til you computer melts

I hate to admit it took me a long time to learn about subscenes

Thanks NemetreZ for the great info, is there any other useful attributes to that subscene trick besides lighting?

Loading/unloading a subset of atoms into your existing scene by linking the atoms their parent to said subscene.
It's great if you have an existing scene of some sorts and wish to import it into another scene without it overwriting anything (like it does if you use the merge load function normally).

Thank you I will give it a try

Is there an easy way to convert looks to presets?

pretty much what wowassault i personally havent found anything else that i can use with subscene i mean sure you can build said scene save it as it a subscene rinse and repeat and reload the scene over twice granted if your computer can handle something like that i know my cant.

The tutorials and explanations of subscenes aren't very... they've never made it click for me, or it hasn't stuck.
