Controlling a light's intensity with a Pose Slider

[nerrazzi]

I didn't know that you could control a light's intensity level by using a pose slider, you couldn't do it in 8.5.

 

Anyway, here's a small movie and a tut on how I did it for those that didn't know either...

1. Create a new model and select "bones mode."

2. Right-click the model name in the PWS and select New > Light.

3. Right-click the model name and select New > Pose > Percentage.

4. Click that little white thingy with the red thingy on it under the "Actions" folder. (See Illustration)

Open up the "Bones" folder and then the "Light" folder. Also, make sure your Pose Slider window is open. If you set the pose slider to 0 and the intensity level of the light in the PWS to "O" (zero), then set the pose slider to 100 and the intensity level of the light to 100, you can now adjust the light via the pose slider. You can probably do the same thing with the color but I didn't test it out...

Thanks for passing that on, it could come in handy.
