MD Portrait - Basic Lights Auto Set Up Script

The MD Portrait - Basic Lights Auto Set Up Script uses all the best features of the "Histogram" plug-in and the "Orbital Lights" plug-in to set up the lights for any portrait of Genesis characters in Iray or Filament modes.

The script will set up 3 lights rig (key light, fill light, and rim light) to match the pattern (Split, Loop, Rembrandt, and Butterfly are the supported patterns) and the style (Broad or Short style) of your choice. You don't have to struggle with the different light patterns and styles, the angles, and the luminosity of each light. The script will set up the lighting for you and it will calculate the luminosity of each light with just a few clicks. It also gives you the possibility to set up a new camera in Profile, 2/3, 3/4, or Full-Face view. If you have already made a light rig using the script, it finds the lights from the previous set up giving you the possibility for fine-tuning. A preset tab is available for you if you want to save the current setup for future use.

You will need to have installed the "Histogram" plug-in and the "Orbital Lights" plug-in in your DAZ Studio for the MD Portrait - Basic Lights Auto Set Up Script to work.
