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_March7th).
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. Character Settings (Item Panel)

Select your character mesh or armature and press N in the 3D Viewport. Open the Item tab to access the Character Settings panel, providing real-time controls without having to manually edit shader node trees:

• Lighting Mode: Switch between built-in ambient lighting presets or choose Custom to tune individual color channels.
• Expressions: Dedicated sliders for quick facial overlays:
  • Cheek: Controls blush cheek overlay intensity.
  • Shy: Controls flushed cheek / shy overlay intensity.
  • Shadow: Controls the forehead and face drop shadow intensity.
• Eye Can’t Be Tinted?: Enable this checkbox to prevent the character’s eyes from being tinted by environment or custom lighting colors.

Lighting Modes & Presets

You can select from multiple built-in lighting presets:

• Default: Default game lighting baseline.
• Sunrise: Warm morning hue with soft shadows.
• Day: Neutral, bright daylight illumination.
• Sunset: Rich golden sunset glow with deep shadow tones.
• Night: Cool, dark nighttime palette.
• Rainy: Overcast and diffuse ambient lighting.
• Custom: Displays color swatches for full custom control.

• Ambient: Base unshaded ambient illumination color.
• Lit: Primary direct light color tone.
• Shadow: Main shadow region color tone.
• Sharp Lit: Secondary lit highlights.
• Sharp Shadow: Deep occluded cel-shadows.
