How To Change Windlight Settings In Second Life

Creating your own windlight settings is not easy: yous need to know lots of parameters in your viewer and practice, practice and exercise over again.

How yous tin fix your windlight in the easiest style?

I recall that the easiest and better mode is starting from a real prototype.

In other words, you apply the lights you found in an paradigm to set up upwardly your 2d Life locations or just your photo scene.

How? Let's see together.

Open your image in Photoshop or other graphic software. In this tutorial, I use PS, since information technology's the most used graphic software.

Let's create a colors range from the sky using the dropper tool, from the darker to the lighter, in this style:

Now that you take all your sky's colors plus the sun'southward color, go to Second Life.

I am using Firestorm Viewer for this tutorial. Become to World → Ambience Editor → Sky Preset and cull Edit Preset.

You should have at present a window like this ane:

At present, we need to know where to exactly put the colors we establish in our real images. It'southward easy, just follow this colors guide :

How to hands set upward your colors?

Select the color y'all desire to change and get to the "hex" tab. You tin can paste the colour value yous found in the PS' colors palette. Run across this image to meliorate understand:

Put this value in the Hex Tab (Ambient Editor in Firestorm Viewer)

Here you run across exactly where the Hex tab is:

Re-create and paste all values you found in PS to the Hex Tab in Firestorm and yous'll get exactly the same windlight settings of your paradigm.

Yous will probably need to adjust the intensity parameter that will have an effect on the Hex value.

The hardest part is done! Now yous need to experiment with the mist and the sun/moon dimension to find a better solution for your need.

I suggest to set up clouds with the same color equally the sun, but with a lighter setting. This choice volition let you experiment with a realistic colors mix.

Finally, choose your east angle, where the sun borns (where you see the lord's day in your sky).

Name and save your preset and you lot have finished!
