Localized Relighting: Using Nexus Node Manipulation

The End of the Global Wash

Beginner AI tools change the whole image. Professional VFX requires localized control. Node-based relighting is the pinnacle of this, allowing you to act as a digital cinematographer, placing lights exactly where they need to be to tell the story.

Key Features

• Isolated Intensity Masking: Brighten only the character's eyes or a specific product on a table without affecting the rest of the scene.
• Shadow Projection Control: Manually adjust the length and softness of shadows cast by virtual light sources.
• Real-Time Interactivity: Move the light node around the graph and see the change instantly on the Studio Canvas.

How It Works

1. Open Nexus Editor: Select the shot you want to relight.
2. Add a Light Node: Connect the "Light Source" node to your "Environment" node.
3. Dial in the Gaffer: Adjust intensity, color, and falloff until the shot is perfect.
