Title: Disabling ambiant light (Enviro light) for planet 02.
Post by: paq on April 16, 2013, 10:39:55 AM
Hello,

I'm trying to create a second planet in my scene.  So I have my planet 02, with his own athmosphere and cloud layer.
There are options to reduce / remove the global ambiant lighting for the athmosphere and clouds for this second planet, but I can't find a way to disable enviro light for the terrain/planet it self.

You could pre-generate a GI cache file while the second planet is disabled, then read that GI cache file for the render that includes the planet. The second planet is probably far enough away that it won't use any of the GI samples in the cache file. This won't be possible in the Free Edition, however.

Yes. You certainly have a one-track mind, don't you? ;)
