The Set Light Intensity operation standardizes light properties across a scene, ensuring consistency in intensity and distribution. This process is especially useful when working with imported scenes where light properties can vary significantly.

Dependencies

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

Best Practices

• Light Setup Review: Before running this operation, ensure that all light properties (e.g., intensities, colors) are final and no additional modifications are planned. This avoids needing to redo normalizations.
• Backup Scene: Always back up your scene before running this operation, as it makes extensive modifications to the light properties in the scene.
• Parameter Tuning: Fine-tune the normalization parameters carefully, especially in scenes with varied lighting conditions, to maintain consistent visual quality.
• Scene Complexity: For scenes with numerous lights, run this operation on a per-level basis to manage memory and performance effectively.

Considerations

• Visual Consistency: The Set Light Intensity 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.
