Multiple light source in a scene

[Entongsu]

Hello,

Thank you for sharing this great project.

I have a question about the lighting setting. I wonder whether kaolin supports Multiple light source rendering in the same scene. Thank you!

Hi @Entongsu ! Thank you for your interest in Kaolin! Currently we support spherical harmonics which should be usable for multiple light sources. We are planning to add more related features, is there anything in particular that you are looking for?

Thank you for your reply. I wonder how many light sources that I can add in a scene. I am not very sure how to add multiple light sources in the same scene. Could you give me some hints over this? Thank you.

What do you want to do with those light sources?

[Entongsu]

I plan to render a scene with different light sources with different colors from different locations.

[Caenorst]

What renderer are you intending to use?

[Entongsu]

I want to use kaolin for the rasterizer and rendering.

Hi @Entongsu , we recently added spherical gaussian features for lighting, see:
