It is the absolute companion for your <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> lights’ adjustments (Distance Lights, Point Lights, Linear Point Lights, and Spotlights) and a valuable tool if you want any node to orbit around another node. </p> <p> This plug-in does not cancel the translation and rotation movements of any node, and it is 100% compatible with any previous scene you have made. It doesn’t alter your workflow, but it gives you some handier tools to make your scene’s lighting. Stop struggling to adjust the position and the luminosity of the <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> lights. Make your work of lighting a scene faster and easier. The &#039;Point at&#039; area will help you as a shortcut to set the point at node of your current selection without the need of using the parameters’ tab, and the &#039;Stops&#039; area will give you a group of buttons to instantly change the current light luminosity in 1/3 and 1/2 steps from the current value without the need to make your own math calculations. </p> <p> The &#039;Calculate Luminous Flux from Histogram&#039; feature is a unique tool (requires the &#039;MD Histogram&#039; plug-in) that will auto calculate the luminosity of your current light, for the Iray or the Filament modes, based on the values it takes from the Histogram plug-in for the whole image or just for a spot area. You just set the desirable lightness you want your image (or the selected spot) to have, and the plug-in will auto calculate the light’s luminosity that will achieve the chosen lightness to your scene. This mode will also create a dedicated photometric camera that will monitor the selected light’s lightness from a chosen distance, so you don’t have to alter the viewport between all lights’ view again. </p> <p> The manual for the MD Orbital Lights Plugin includes the scripting documentation if you want to use the Orbital Lights pane in your scripts. </p> </div> <h2 id="product_notes">Product Notes</h2> <div class="level2"> </div> <h3 id="installation_packages">Installation Packages</h3> <div class="level3"> <p> Below is a list of the installation package types provided by this product.
