Using an Procedural as a Gel

To use a procedural texture as a Gel, you must select a preset that contains a texture. Preset materials that contain only color or optic information (such as many found in the Simple & Fast category) will have no effect.

If you selected a color other than white in the Light Lab, that color overrides colors from Texture Gels. However, the luminance patterns are still used.

To use a procedural texture as a Gel:

1. In the Light Lab, enable the Use Gel option.
   
   
2. Click the Procedural button.
   
   
   
   The Preset Materials Library appears.
3. Select a material from one of the categories available. Refer to "Using the Materials Presets Library" for more on the Preset Materials Library.
   
   
4. Click the OK icon to close the dialog. The texture in the material is applied as a gel.
