Bringing a Look File into the Scene Graph

You can bring in a look file into the scene graph for later overriding or assigning to /root (to set a shot’s global settings). This is done by adding the look file to the Look Files list of the LookFileManager node.

You can add a look file to the Look Files list in a number of ways:

• Adding the look file currently assigned to a scene graph location.

• Adding a look file from all the look files in the current scene graph.

• Adding a look file from a list of all look files at or below a scene graph location.

• Adding a look file that is not assigned anywhere within the scene graph.

 

To add the look file currently assigned to a scene graph location, right-click inside the Look Files list (or click ) and select Add Look File Asset From Scene graph Selection.

To add a look file from all the look files in the current scene graph:

1.

Right-click inside the Look Files list (or click ) and select Find All Look File Assets In Incoming Scene... .

The Find Look File Assets On Incoming Scene dialog displays. The dialog is populated with all the look files in the current scene graph.

2.

Right-click on a look file you want to add and select Add Look File Asset.

You can repeat this step for as many look files as you want to add.

3.

Click Close when you have finished.

 

To add a look file from a list of all look files at or below a scene graph location:

1.

With one or more scene graph locations selected, right-click inside the Look Files list (or click ) and select Find All Look File Assets Beneath Selection In Incoming Scene... .

The Find Look File Assets On Incoming Scene dialog displays. The dialog is populated with all the look files assigned at or below the scene graph location selected.

2.

Right-click on a look file you want to add and select Add Look File Asset.

Repeat this step for as many look files as you want to add.

3.

Click Close when you have finished.

To add a look file that is not assigned anywhere within the scene graph:

1.

Right-click in the Look Files list (or click ) and select Advanced > Add Look File Asset From Browser... .

2.

Select the look file within the browser and click Accept.

The look file is added to the LookFileManager Look Files list and assigned as the look file to /root. To unassign it, uncheck the Add As Look File Root Asset checkbox.
