Lightbox

Python: "map_lightbox"

The lightbox map provides an easy way to overlay a geometry-less box on the IBL map. IBL lightboxes can be configured parametrically. Combined with a shadow catcher floor, they generally lead to significantly faster renders compared to an equivalent room modeled with true geometry.

Icon

Common

Node alias

Python: "map_alias"

Human-readable node alias.

Alias color

Python: "map_alias_color"

Identificative node color.

Main

Exposure

Python: "map_lightbox_exposure"

Controls the global exposure of the lightbox.

Ambient Occlusion radius

Python: "map_lightbox_ao_radius"

Defines the AO radius used to approximate diffuse illumination inside the lightbox.

Enable Ambient Occlusion

Python: "map_lightbox_ao_enable"

Globally enables/disables AO in the lightbox walls. AO is used to produce an approximation to diffuse illumination inside the lightbox.

Transparent

Python: "map_lightbox_transparent"

Globally enables/disables transparency in the lightbox walls. Transparency lets the IBL shine through (i.e., in addition to) the lightbox.

Ceiling

Enable ceiling

Python: "map_lightbox_ceiling_enable"

Enables the ceiling lightbox plane.

Enable Ambient Occlusion

Python: "map_lightbox_ceiling_ao_enable"

Toggles on/off AO in the ceiling lightbox plane.

Enable transparency

Python: "map_lightbox_ceiling_transparent"

Toggles on/off transparency in the ceiling lightbox plane.

Color

Python: "map_lightbox_ceiling_color"

Defines the color of the ceiling lightbox plane.

Color map

Python: "map_lightbox_ceiling_color_map"

Controls the color of the ceiling lightbox plane using a texture map.

Intensity

Python: "map_lightbox_ceiling_intensity"

Defines the intensity multiplier of the ceiling lightbox plane.

Distance

Python: "map_lightbox_ceiling_dist"

Controls the distance between the ceiling lightbox plane and the origin of coordinates.

Input colorspace

Python: "map_lightbox_ceiling_color_inv_gamma"

Interprets the input emission color/image as regular sRGB (gamma=2.2), as linear (no gamma), or as raw (gamma=1/2.2). e.g., most images are in sRGB, but .hdr/.exr images generally expect to be interpreted as linear. When in doubt, cycle through the options, as one will clearly look good and the other two will look washed out or burned out in direct vision.

Input colorspace

Python: "map_lightbox_floor_color_inv_gamma"
