This set is essential not only in the fairy world but also in everyday life. With its help, we can see better in the forest, and in the alley, but it can also be of great use to us in the back garden.
There are 3 variations of the large lantern. Cage, Glass, and Energy ball. The Cage and Glass Lanterns are complemented by snow-covered geometry shells for the Winter scenes. In addition, the set also includes two wonderful fairy lanterns in a celestial theme. Sun Lantern and Moon Lantern. The Moon Lantern works with the candle included in the set, while the Sun Lantern contains a breath of sunlight.
The large lantern can be moved in several ways. When loaded, it is organized into a Group, so it can be easily moved around by the ring where its pivot point is located. By clicking on the ring, it can be lowered onto the top of the lantern, so it can also be used when placed on a surface. By clicking on the lantern itself, the pivot point is at the bottom of the lantern.
The lantern consists of separate parts, so the morphs of the various parts can be achieved by selecting the elements. If you use Cage or Glass morphs, set them to High Resolution for a better look. The texture of the lantern may change slightly when using High Resolution, but sometimes it may be necessary. The Cage, Glass, and Energy are also provided as wearables for the Lantern Base to allow easy switching between these parts if you wish to do so along the way.
The bowl of the Moon Lantern can be hidden, and the Sunray and Sun (crystal) parts of the Sun Lantern can be shaped by selecting them.
For the sake of easier handling, the product includes pre-made sets and their wearable version for both Genesis 8 Male and Female and Genesis 9, together with the appropriate left and right hand and a couple of (left and right) arm poses.
Of course, there are also a few texture variations in the pack. They are also included as Hierarchical Material Presets, making their application easier.
Since lights react differently in different light conditions, there are many settings for the candle flame. You can adjust the visibility and brightness of the flame and the halo, and even the power and color of the sun in the Sun Lantern. The set also includes a night setting, as well as toggling the Spectral Rendering option on and off and candlelight (halo) strengths for Spectral Rendering. See the included promo images for some comparison. In the promo images, the lantern does not contain any point light to illuminate the things around it, but only the use of the Spectral Rendering option helps with this. At other times, it is sufficient to turn on the Caustic Sampler and Guided Sampling options (especially for interiors)on the Render Settings/Optimization tab.
It is true that the product contains several texture and material options, but I recommend looking at the additional GHD FairyTales - Lanterns Textures for more interesting options.
