KARMAATTENUATION.hipnc
Overview
Attenuation properties are not on the light itself but can be added using the
lightfilterlibrary node and assigned to a specific light.
Other options include barndoor, gel, gobo and projection.
Tips
Attenuation is assigned to the specific light. There are multiple options for what type of attenuation.
TIP If using a ramp/half distance you could
also consider setting the active radius on the light to an end
value to reduce light calculation.
