Houselights?

[preston bircher designs]

I am doing a quick consult for a small theatre conversion--but for the rendering we need to have the Stage Lighting in view... but that turns off all of the ambient light! (aarrgghhh)

So I'm throwing in some PAR's for a down houselight look... do I have to make a separate Focus Point for each of the vertical down-lights?

You can turn the ambient lighting back on in the rendering settings or in the renderworks style under "Lighting"

Multiple lighting devices can be set to the same focus point yes, but if you mean you want them to all point straight down via focus points then yes they would each need a point directly below them.

You can fake it.

Instead of having one focus point for every fixture, insert one focus point with a Z value of -1000' (or whatever value works for you).
