## **How to Set up**

---

To set the LightMix for use:

1. Add the LightMix Render Element to your scene. (Render Settings > Render Elements tab > Add LightMix)
2. Then, render the scene.
3. Now you can tweak your lights!

> ℹ️ Before rendering, set your lights to white (neutral) color and boost their intensity.
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Rendering with lower intensity and then increasing it from the LightMix might produce noise in your render. If this happens, use the "To Scene" option and re-render the scene.

### **Examples: Light Mix**

The example below shows two different light setups created with the help of Light Mix: daylight and dusk.

The Daylight appearance is achieved by using sunlight and an additional soft light to simulate light coming from the outside. The Dusk appearance is achieved by setting the sun **Multiplier** to 0, changing the color multiplier of the outside light to blue, increasing the intensity multiplier of all interior lights and tinting them with warmer colors (all ceiling and built-in furniture V-Ray Lights), adjusting the self-illumination multiplier of desk and ceiling lights shaded with V-Ray Light Mtl.
