Lights · Rhino

In Rhino, D5 Lite reads native Rhino lights and does not provide a separate Lite light panel. You continue to create and edit lights in Rhino; Lite reads them and shows the corresponding render result.

Rectangle Light

Rhino's directional (parallel) light is not read as a Lite light.

Reading and Editing

Lite reads the position, orientation, color, intensity, angle, and size of Rhino lights; the Spot Light direction follows the light direction in Rhino. After you adjust a light in Rhino, the Lite render updates with the sync.

Sync to D5 Render

Rhino lights can move into D5 Render via Live Sync for further refinement.
