Lights & Coloramp Configuration

1. Controlling Light & Shadow Direction

During character setup, a dedicated Light Direction_<Character> object is created in your scene collection.

1. Locate Light Direction_<Character> in the Outliner panel (e.g. Light Direction_Charlotte).
2. Open the Item Transform panel in Object Properties.
3. Adjust the Rotation values (XYZ Euler) to rotate the light vector:
   • Rotation Z: Rotates the sun angle horizontally around the character.
   • Rotation Y: Adjusts the horizontal tilt of the light across the character.
   • Rotation X: Adjusts the vertical pitch of the shadow line.

2. Interactive 3D Lighting & Coloramp Panel

Every setup includes a 3D control board generated behind or beside your character in the viewport, allowing real-time adjustment of Festivity shader parameters without digging into node trees.

Note

Some of the light controls on the panel may not work as expected. Sorry about that — this is a known limitation that will be improved in future releases.

Lighting Controls

• Soft Lit & Soft Shadow: Color wheels controlling soft gradient transition tones.
• Sharp Lit & Sharp Shadow: Color wheels controlling sharp anime cel-shadow boundaries.
• Ambient: Adjusts unshaded base ambient brightness and tint.
• Rim Lit & Rim Shadow: Controls rim light highlights and edge shadow intensity.
• Shadow Offset: Slider controlling global shadow threshold placement across the character body.

Fresnel Controls

• Fresnel Toggle: Switch on/off the outer rim glow effect.
• Fresnel Color: Color wheel for custom rim glow tinting.
• Fresnel Size: Slider controlling edge falloff thickness.

To enable fresnel, select the object, go to the Shader Editor, then locate the Global Properties node and double-click to enter it:

Then enable it by setting Use Fresnel to 1:

You can change the color and intensity from the Fresnel Color in the light panel, adjusting its intensity with Fresnel Power.
