Very helpful Jonas, thanks! Will defo support you through Patreon.
It might be really helpful to see a tutorial that mixes working with lightmix and composite at the same time. I find the workflow in such case quite fiddly/confusing myself.
Thumbs up to what youre doing!
Thanks, Martin

Hi, thanks for your feedback For working with lightmix and composite at the same time, I personally haven't tried that yet myself but I always assumed it would be EITHER lightmix OR composite as they are kept totally separate. But now that you mention it i'm curious to try out if thats a possibility. If it is possible then it would make good content for a video!

Hi Jonas, to me it looks like this cimbination of these two tools is not possible. Only to a certain extent.
But its been massively helpfule during covid lockdown cos i could tweak the lighting and colors with the client over online session and do some quick proofs.
If combination of these two worked well then it woudl be absolutelly massive advantage over all those render outthere i think.

Hi, I think technically you can build something similar like in lightmix by just splitting out separate render elements for each light and then adding them back together again and control each of them separately. But that would only work if you don't need to separate specular, refl, lighting, or the amount of layers would quickly become massive. I think technically in composite you can do the same like in LightMix and more but it would quickly turn to a point where the setup becomes to complex. I think the lightmix is just a stripped down composite that is more usefriendly and the composite is more complex alternative. But if you plan to build this kind of a massive setup then it's probably anyway more streight forward to do it in Nuke or so.
