Light mixer question

Hello

Is there a way to send the result of a light mixer settings, into the lights of my scene ?

I've not found a feature for that.

Thank you

Yes I know this tab in octane, and the "Out1" view.
But once you're happy with the lightmix, how can you send it back to the lights of the scene ? (I don't find a button for that)


Here is an example in CoronaRender:

"OUT" view is a mix of all render nodes including LightMix - isn't that what you're looking for ?

We didn't add this kind of feature, but easy to do.

Hi Ssmolak, no I'm looking for a way to send the settings of the light mix, into the lights of the scene.

Thanks Aoktar, it could be an awesome feature, do you plan to add it in a near future ?

I want to jump in on this and say I would love for this to happen and opened light mixer for the first time and was immediately pumped at the results I was getting. I wanted to render the result, but was disappointed there was no way to render without AOVs (exr) it would be handy to able to print a quick .mp4 out of the light mixer. I couldn’t find any means to do that without rendering an exr sequence, am I missing something?

The button to convert light mixer’s lights to scene lights is would resolve my issues as well.


I am putting a hard beg/request for this feature PLEASE!

You can save it by this AOV in PV or save directly from LV. See picture

Transferring the multiplier to scene is possible but here's a handicap. When I multiply the lights with mixer's parameters it needs to be reset. Otherwise it be multiplied by 2x.
