Photometric Lights: Preset Lights

Create menu > Lights > Photometric Lights > Presets

Preset Lights are photometric lights that have a preset configuration in Autodesk VIZ. Preset Lights load up correct values based on their equivalent commercial product. For example, a 60W light setting loads up the correct intensity, lighting, and distribution settings corresponding to a real 60W bulb. Using Preset Lights, you’re able to quickly create lights that are correct simulations of real-world objects.

The Preset Lights available are:
