Title: Corona Lights in viewport are very Annoying!
Post by: ShynnSup on 2022-01-18, 23:44:39

Hi guys,

I feel this is more of a feature request unless I am missing something:

Corona lights light up by scene (viewport) and make it very hard to work on. If I toggle their visibility on viewport off, the problem is solved, but I can no longer manipulate them, at least not visible (because they are invisible in viewport) Is there a way to deactivate the lighting only in viewport while keeping the wireframe of the light visible? So I can keep rotating and moving it?

Thanks

Hi, are you able to share an image of what you mean? Until then, have you tried changing these settings?

Quick shading does help!

This is what I meant, I have a plane for a background and the lights completely burn it out and make it impossible to work on my viewport.

Could it be that the light intensity is too strong? Have you tried lowering it?

I think it would be nice if there were an option in the light properties for it to not affect c4d viewport

They are two lights there. They both have the default intensity of 50.

I often make 3 point lighting set ups and I get this blown out effect when I add a background geometry all the time.

I realized the same happens with C4D lights, so it is more of a C4D problem.

Yeah, it would be nice to disable reflections in viewport or something.
