	Lighting in [[ACT3AI\|ACT 3 AI]] defines how scenes, shots, and characters are illuminated to achieve mood, realism, or stylization. Alongside [[Camera_Angles]] and [[Cinematography]], lighting helps convey emotion, highlight characters, and direct audience focus. Users can customize light sources, intensity, and dynamics through the platform’s visual pre-production tools.

== Overview ==
Lighting in [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]] defines how scenes, shots, and characters are illuminated to achieve mood, realism, or stylization. Alongside [[Camera_Angles]] and [[Cinematography]], lighting helps convey emotion, highlight characters, and direct audience focus. Users can customize light sources, intensity, and dynamics through the platform’s visual pre-production tools.

== 1. Purpose ==
* Establish the mood and atmosphere of each [[Scene]]
* Emphasize characters, props, and environments
* Simulate realistic time-of-day conditions (sunrise, sunset, night, etc.)
* Guide viewer attention through contrast and highlights

== 2. Lighting Types ==
* '''Key Light:''' Main source that defines subject shape
* '''Fill Light:''' Softens shadows, balances exposure
* '''Back Light (Rim):''' Separates subject from background
* '''Practical Lights:''' Lamps, candles, neon signs visible in shot
* '''Environmental Light:''' Sky, moonlight, ambient bounce

== 3. System Features ==
* AI-assisted auto-lighting per [[Shot]] or [[Scene]]
* Adjustable presets: cinematic, natural, dramatic, stylized
* Dynamic lighting for [[Animation_Studios|animated]] or VFX-heavy projects
* Time-of-day simulation tied to [[Story_Beats]]
* Light rig visualization in [[Top_Down_View]]

== 4. Lighting Controls ==
* Intensity (lumens / exposure value)
* Color temperature (Kelvin scale, e.g. warm 3200K vs cool 5600K)
* Direction (front, side, top, back)
* Shadows (soft vs hard, cast length)
* Flicker and movement for practical lights (fire, neon, torch)

== 5. Integration with Tools ==
* Works with [[Storyboard_Panels]] to pre-visualize scenes
* Synchronized with [[Camera Setup]] and shot composition
* Auto-adjusts for [[Digital_Actors]] skin tones and costume materials
* Supports AI render models ([[Google_Veo_3]], [[Runway]], [[Wan]])

== 6. Example Workflows ==
# Select a [[Scene]] and enable "Lighting Setup" mode
# Choose a preset (e.g., "Film Noir") or create a custom rig
# Adjust exposure and color balance per [[Shot]]
# Preview results in [[Editor]] or [[Build_Video]]
# Refine during [[Rendering_System|render pass]] for final look

== 7. Roadmap ==
* Volumetric lighting support (fog, god rays)
* Automated “lighting continuity” between scenes
* HDR and Dolby Vision grading integration
* Community lighting presets exchange
