Bring up the Mixer by choosing Edit → Mixer...



The Mixer displays a list of lights that matches the selected entries in the Multi-LIght list of the rendering attributes.

  • Clicking on the solo gadget of a given light or rig will change the rendered image to show only that light's contribution to the rendering. At most one Mixer item can set as solo.
  • Clicking the check box gadget will toggle that light or light rig contribution to the rendered image on or off.
  • The Luminosity slider acts as an exposure on the light or light rig contribution to the rendered image.
  • The colour picker acts as a multiplier to the light source or light rig colour.
