Transfer lighting from one scene to another

[capta134]

Is there a way to transfer all lighting from one scene to another?

Is there a way to transfer all lighting from one scene to another?

1) Save all light source atoms inside a subscene
2) Load saved subscene inside different scene
3) Profit?

another way would be to have scene with lighting and merge load with another scene...but that's counter productive in so many ways

How to save a subscene? I know how to save a scene through file/save scene.
Also I see Merge load Scene button . Is this what you are referring to?

Thanks!

No, that merge option is to merge 2 scenes, not really subscene related.

Basically you load one scene and than load another scene on-top (merge).
After that...anything inside both scenes with same atom names is replaces from second (merged) scene.
and any atoms with unique names:
-from first scene are left unchanged
-from second scene are added in

Subscene is different (it's more of a scene within a scene),
first you have to add subscene atom, under misc/subscene or click little blue flag icon (to preselect it).
After you add it parent any atoms (in your case light stuff) to that subscene and save it.

There's guide on hub that covers it in more depth, you should check it out.

Guides - How to use subscenes

Intro What is a subscene? A subscene is simple a part of a scene that is saved separately and that you can reuse at will. You can include any subscene any number of times in any scene. More precisely, a subscene is a VAM atom: it can be found...

I have a hard time follow "Other Subscene Lighting Rigs" tutorial.

It says add a SubScene and move it to the center of person face and link it to the Neck.
It does not say anything about linking lights. Am I missing something?

I shared it as example...those subscenes already have lights.
They are mostly 3 point lights focused around single point/character.

You wanna carry lighting over from your existing scenes to new one, right?
So you have to link them yourself with new(empty) subscene and than load(add) them inside another scene.

-load your scene
-add new/empty subscene
-select your light source atom
-goto control tab, click "select parent atom from scene" (pick subscene)
or search for parent atom on dropdown menu (pick subscene)
-save subscene
-load it in new scene
