but, if there is a way to apply the changes you made to the light passes in the mixer to the lights
themselves in the scene, it will be awsome.
also , the lightmixer pass appears only when there are several light select passes chosen, so how can
i render lets say a sequence of the lightmixer pass itself?
I´m thinking about lightMix and Isee that the button of creation of Light mix elements dont is organising on alphabetical list, would be good on alphabetical sequences.
Render, adjust LightMix to your taste, save the image from the VFB. You can also save the LightMix setup with the Save option in the LightMix tab. Adjust the LightMix to something else, save from the VFB (and can save the LightMix set up). Repeat until you have enough versions of the image
You can then render the same scene from a different camera angle, and simply Load the LightMix settings and save the image each time, to replicate the same LightMix setups - this is scene dependent of course, as it requires the same lights etc as used when the LightMix setups were saved.
Thanks Tom,
What I meant is to send different scenes to the render farm to be DR rendered while I am sleeping, then wake up and find Corona saved each scene twice or more once as a day scene and once as a night scene without me having to manually save for each variation, and without Backburner rendering the same image twice for two lighting solutions…

LightMix it’s post-processing task. So, you can play with it when your rendering is finished.
The solution to all these similar requests will be the standalone App.
In the App you will open your RAW Corona exr file, and you will add denoise, glare (in GPU, I think), and create all your 100 different LightMix
We must only to wait.
And I´m surprised that there seems to be no feature requests for this yet (forum + bugtracker). Do I miss something? Currently you can add multiple LightMixer elements but all seem to share the same LightMix settings so it´s useless to do so.
If every LightMix render element would get it´s private mix setting this great feature would get qualifyed for automated and “deterministic” workflows. I was under the impression it´s already working like this and was astounded by the fact that apparently it doesn´t
Yes! I actually did mention this in the Daily thread, but I didn’t make a dedicated request. The ability to save and load presets makes a good start of what you’re talking about, but surely this would expand the possibilities and efficiency.
Ah ok - lost in the usual daily thread noise. Would you be so kind to create a proper request on mantis, PROH?
@alexyork: This will definitely get a job for the standalone application cecofuli mentioned (and it can be currently done easily by rendering out the LightSelect RE´s EXRs and compose them). BTW: Wondering if there will be some kind of contest to find a proper name for that postpro cexr application
