Note

Light Filters do not affect photon emission in the PxrVCM or PxrUnified integrators.

Note

Gobo and Blocker light filters are deprecated in RenderMan 26. Please use cookie and rod light filters instead.


Intensity Light Filter

PxrIntMultLightFilter is a light filter that allows you to multiply the intensity/exposure of the light. This is very useful when you want to isolate a particular asset(s) from the rest of the scene that has different intensity/exposure. This is via linking the objects to the PxrIntMultLightFilter.

...

PxrBarnLightFilter allows us to create physically accurate window barns to simulate the real set lighting with correct shadowing. Its other usage include controlling bounce lights in a large scene. In addition to the physical mode, it also provides an analytic mode.

Gobo Light Filter

PxrGoboLightFilter projects a painted texture in front of the light.


Cookie Light Filter

PxrCookieLightFilter projects a painted texture in front of the light. It's similar to the PxrGoboLightFilter but with more options and flexibility.

Blocker Light Filter

PxrBlockerLightFilter uses a "rod" like object to block light. The blocker can be shaped into an irregular shape and is then placed next to the object where you want to block the light.


Rod Light Filter

PxrRodLightFilter uses a "rod" like object to block light. The blocker can be shaped into an irregular shape and is then placed next to the object where you want to block the light. This is similar to the above PxrBlockerLightFilter but with more controls and flexibility.

...

PxrRampLightFilter uses a ramp to control the light. This allows more complex control of color, intensity, and more.

Cheat Shadow Light Filter

PxrCheatShadowFilter allows artists to 'cheat' and refine the directional casting of shadows.
