Cineversity

In Cinema4D I often used two skies with a compositing tag.
1 seen by camera but not by GI, reflections etc etc
The other one not seen by camera but by GI, reflections etc etc.

How can achieve this in Redshift?

Hi tonvogels,

To have full control over it, Redshift offers the Dome Light> Details> Contribution.

Here you have even parametrically control over the influence of each part (instead of just an on/off option.)

So, you use as many Dome lights as your project needs and set up what influences what.

You might have an eye on the Environment node/shader.

All the best

However, Redshift has a 4 dome light limit, so it will only see the last 4 dome lights in your stack. We learned this the hard way.

Yes, dansemen,

That is correct; four is the maximum.

I’m glad he needs only two.

My best wishes.
