Light3DMask Performs 3D relighting using a source input with surface colors, and a normal vector input clip. The Mask input is used to interpolate between the original image and the result. Inputs: Source:  The 3d surface colors. Normals:  Contains the normal vectors matching the Source clip. Typically the red channel will have the X component of the normal, green will have Y, and blue will have Z, but you can adjust this mapping using the Normal Offset and Invert parameters on the second page. Mask:  Used to interpolate between the original image and the result. Where the mask is black, no lighting is applied and the original Source image is visible.

Parameters:

Brightness:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of all lights together.

Ambient Bright:   Default: 0.2,  Range: any.
The amount of ambient light included in the entire frame. This allows parts of the source where no light is falling to be visible.

Diffuse Bright:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the diffuse light from all light sources.

Hilight Bright:   Default: 0.8,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of all specular highlights.

Hilight Size:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0 or greater.
Adjusts the size of all specular highlights.

Light1 Enable:   Check-box,  Default: on.
Enables the first light source.

Light1 Color:   Default rgb: [1 1 1].
The color of the first light source.

Diffuse Bright 1:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the diffuse brightness for Light 1 only.

Hilight Bright 1:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the specular highlights for Light 1 only.

Hilight Size 1:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Adjusts the size of the specular highlights for Light 1 only.

Light1 Z:   Default: 0.5,  Range: any.
The z position of the first light source.

Light2 Enable:   Check-box,  Default: off.
Enables the second light source.

Light2 Color:   Default rgb: [1 1 1].
The color of the second light source.

Diffuse Bright 2:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the diffuse brightness for Light 2 only.

Hilight Bright 2:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the specular highlights for Light 2 only.

Hilight Size 2:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Adjusts the size of the specular highlights for Light 2 only.

Light2 Z:   Default: 0.5,  Range: any.
The z position of the second light source.

Blur Mask:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 or greater.
Blurs the Mask input by this amount before using. This can provide a smoother transition between the masked and unmasked areas.

Invert Mask:   Check-box,  Default: off.
If enabled, inverts the mask input so the effect is applied to areas where the Mask is black instead of white.

Params2:

Normal X <-:   Popup menu,  Default: RED.
Determines which color channel is used for the horizontal component of the normal vectors.

RED:  Use Red channel.

GREEN:  Use Green channel.

BLUE:  Use Blue channel.

Normal Y <-:   Popup menu,  Default: GREEN.
Determines which color channel is used for the vertical component of the normal vectors.

RED:  Use Red channel.

GREEN:  Use Green channel.

BLUE:  Use Blue channel.

Normal Z <-:   Popup menu,  Default: BLUE.
Determines which color channel is used for the depth component of the normal vectors.

RED:  Use Red channel.

GREEN:  Use Green channel.

BLUE:  Use Blue channel.

Invert X:   Check-box,  Default: off.
If checked, inverts the horizontal compononent of the normal vectors.

Invert Y:   Check-box,  Default: off.
If checked, inverts the vertical compononent of the normal vectors.

Invert Z:   Check-box,  Default: off.
If checked, inverts the depth compononent of the normal vectors.

Normal Offset:   Default: -0.5,  Range: any.
Added to the values in the Normal input.

Light3 Enable:   Check-box,  Default: off.
Enables the third light source.

Light3 Color:   Default rgb: [1 1 1].
The color of the third light source.

Diffuse Bright 3:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
