Managing Ambiences

Editing a Legacy Ambience

You can edit a legacy ambience in Rendering Scene Design, and create a new product ambience.

  1. From the Product Ambiences panel, drag the thumbnail of a legacy ambience to the work area, or double-click it.
  2. In the General tab, use the Title box to replace the name of the default ambience with the name of your choice.
    The ambience name is automatically updated in the tree, and in the Title box of the Properties dialog box.
    Note: When you rename or edit a PLM Ambience in another authoring app, only the name of the reference ambience is changed. The feature name corresponding to the inserted ambience does not change.
  3. The preview area displays in real time the customization of the background and lights.
  4. Use the following icons to manage your lights and to display additional commands.

    • adds a new light to the ambience.
    • duplicates the active ambience iteration.
    • displays the whole list at once.
    • lets you position HDRI lights.
    • removes the selected iteration from the list.
    • lets you unlock or lock the light position.
    • lets you display additional commands.

  5. Modify the appropriate properties in the General, Ground, and Backplate tabs.
  6. Click Save as new to product.
