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.
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 & Control Panel

Every setup includes a 3D control board generated in your viewport, allowing real-time adjustment of ZZZ shader parameters without digging into node trees.

Note

The 3D light control board is generated as a separate rig object in your scene. To modify the character’s colors, shadow tones, ambient brightness, or rim light intensity, select the light panel rig and enter Pose Mode (Ctrl + Tab). Once in Pose Mode, you can manipulate the color picker bones and control sliders.
