Light Presets

Light Presets adds one-click lighting presets to the scene lighting toolbar, working exactly like the core wall type buttons: click a preset, then drag to place. The active preset shows an indicator pip and persists between sessions.

Thirteen presets

Flame — bright core at half the dim radius

• Candle — small warm flame with a quick low flicker. Bedside tables, shrines, and candelabra.
• Torch — the classic wall sconce: strong warm light, lively flicker.
• Lantern — steady warm glow, only a gentle flicker. A hooded lantern by a door.
• Bullseye Lantern — a focused 60° beam. Drag to draw the cone, scroll while dragging to aim it.
• Campfire — heavier flame in deep orange. Campfires, braziers, fireplaces.
• Lava Glow — red-orange with a slow, heavy roil. Lava pools, forge hearts, embers.

Atmosphere — dim only, no bright core

• Moonlight — pale blue-white, no animation. Windows at night, moonlit clearings, skylights.
• Fog Bank — grey swirling haze at low luminosity, so it reads as atmosphere rather than a lamp.
• Fey Lights — soft pink shimmer. Feywild groves, pixie swarms, enchanted gardens.
• Ghostly — sickly green ghost-light flicker. Haunted halls and cursed shrines.

Radiant magic — soft 25% bright core

• Magical Glow — violet pulse for enchanted crystals, runes, ambient arcane light.
• Divine Radiance — warm golden sunburst. Altars, holy auras, consecrated ground.

Darkness

• Magical Darkness — not a light but a darkness source: it carves magical gloom out of existing illumination. For darkness spells and cursed zones.

How it works

• Every preset fully specifies its light configuration — color, animation, alpha, attenuation — so switching presets never inherits leftover values from the last one.
• Bright/dim behaviour is applied live in the drag preview, not just on drop, so what you see while dragging is what you get.
• Hovering a preset shows a tooltip describing the light and its exact settings.
