Name and Color Rollout (Lights)

Create panel > Lights > Create a light. > Name and Color rollout

The Name and Color rollout lets you change the name and geometry color of a light. Changing the color of the light geometry can be useful when working with many lights.

For example, in a scene with many different types of lights, you could make all spotlights red, and all omni lights blue to easily distinguish them.

Procedure

To change the color of a light’s geometry:

  1. Create or select a light in your scene.

  2. In the Name and Color rollout, click the color swatch to open a Color Selector.

  3. Choose a new color and click OK.

Interface

Name—The name of the selected light.

Note: When you rename a target-type light, the target object will be renamed to match the light.

Color—The color of the light’s geometry.

(This has no effect on the color the light emits.)
