Using the Exposure effect
Exposure is the amount of light captured by the sensor in a real camera during a single picture. If the shot is exposed for too long, the image will be washed out or too bright, but on the other hand, if the shot is exposed for a shorter period of time, the image will be too dark. Lumion lets you do the same thing using an effect called Exposure. This can be especially useful when working with interior lighting with spotlights where it is more likely to have issues with overbright areas.
Getting ready
For this recipe, we need an interior scene with some spotlights present, and we can increase the intensity or the Overbright setting in order to have an overbright scene.
How to do it…
After placing and tweaking the spotlights in your project, perform the following steps to use the Exposure effect:
- From the Photo mode, select the New effect button.
- Inside the Photo effect library, you can find the Exposure effect under the Camera tab.
- Click on the Exposure effect...
