  Flickering light

  Posted by Kelly Johnson on August 2, 2007 at 3:31 am

  I am trying to create a flickering light and was told to use XPresso to do it. I would agree except I don’t how how to go about it. Any help?

  Not too difficult. Add an expresso tag to your light and double-click to open the editor. Drag your light from the OM into the editor window. Click/hold the blue square in the upper left corner of the light node and select “General>Intesity”. That’s your input port.

  Now you need something to control the intensity. Right click in the editor window, and from the context menu select new node>Xpresso>general>noise. Drag a link between the noise output port and the light/intensity input port. That’ll give you a basic flicker, and you can play with the noise node’s settings in the AM to refine it.

  Thank you Adam. I was actually about to post that same solution. Thank you for your time.
