The Set Light Attenuation operation fine-tunes light attenuation settings to optimize light falloff and minimize over-bright areas. By adjusting attenuation parameters, this operation ensures that light sources have realistic influence areas and contribute to a more balanced lighting environment.

Dependencies

The Set Light Attenuation operation should be run after Merge Lights and Set Light Intensity

Best Practices

• Light Distance Review: Before running this operation, review the scene for light placements, especially those near walls or close objects, as adjusting attenuation could cause unwanted shadows or lighting artifacts.
• Backup Scene: Always back up your scene before running this operation, as it alters the attenuation settings, which may have unintended effects on your lighting setup.
• Parameter Testing: Start with smaller adjustments to attenuation values, especially in scenes with delicate lighting setups, to maintain control over the visual outcome.
• Initial Optimization: Run this operation after Merge Lights to fine-tune light performance without compromising the overall visual quality.

Considerations

• Visual Consistency: The Set Light Attenuation operation can significantly alter the scene’s lighting. Verify that the visual balance is maintained after running the operation.
• Lighting Data: Some specific light settings may be overridden, which could affect the intended visual results. Ensure that crucial light settings are not unintentionally altered.
• Performance Impact: This operation can be resource-intensive, particularly in large scenes. Monitor performance and, if necessary, split the operation into smaller runs.
• Iteration: Re-run this operation after any substantial scene changes to ensure all lights remain normalized.
