Tuning the skylight
An additional aspect connected to the shadows in Lumion, and it happens in the real world too, is the influence of the sky over shadows. Taking a look at the shadows in any project, you can easily realize how a sunset or a midday scene can transform the color of the shadow. In this recipe, we will learn how to control and change the influence that skylight has on shadows.
Getting ready
Before you start, you need to have some 3D models in your project to see the effect and make sure that they are at least of medium quality to see the shadows.
How to do it…
To change the effect of the skylight on the shadows, perform the following steps:
Change the mode from Build to Photo or Movie.
Click on the New effect button.
From the World tab, select the Shadow effect.
The new effect appears on the left-hand side of the screen and to change the shadow saturation use the Coloring value.
A value close to 1 will increase the bluish look, while a value lower than this will assign a warmer color...
