Lighting Presets

Lighting Presets

Presets live at presets/<char>__<name>.json and are per-character (the dropdown filters by prefix). Each character ships sixteen looks:

Preset	Character of the look
moonlight	the UE-matched cinematic baseline (cool key, warm rim)
studio	bright neutral three-point
beauty	soft frontal beauty light, strong catchlight
clinical	flat, even, diagnostic
noir	hard single key, deep shadows
sunset / golden_hour	warm low-angle keys
teal_orange	the grade everybody pretends not to love
rembrandt	classic 45° portrait key
cyberpunk / emerald	stylized colour washes
high_key	blown-out bright
candlelight	warm dim intimate
split	half-lit split portrait
overcast	soft cool daylight
hairshadow	strong key + hair-rake light: crisp hairline shadow demo

What a preset saves

The entire look dictionary: lighting energies + colours, background colour, floor toggle + darkness, skin (incl. micro detail), hair (incl. aniso sheen), eyes (incl. limbal ring + lid shadow), colour balance, model yaw, DOF, eye-gaze mode, hair-rake state, and the camera (orbit yaw/pitch/dist/FOV/target). Loading a preset restores the framing; R returns to it after you wander.

Outfit inflate is per-character (anti-poke geometry correction), so preset loads re-force the character profile's value rather than the saved one.

Saving your own

Type a name → Save as → it appears in the dropdown as <char>__<name>. P overwrites the character's default preset. In the prebuilt exe, presets save next to the executable; in a source checkout they save into godot_project/presets/.
