How to turn Default Light (headlamp?) back on?

KN

Hello there,

When I did not have any lights on a new open scene, I rendered a character that would be lit by the Default Light (also called Headlamp I believe?) and I could see shadows on the ground.

But it did not work anymore after I used the Environment Light Off option from JM Promo Lights.

I looked up into the Daz document center and found this "You can switch back to headlamp lighting by toggling the 'Use Scene Lights' action in the toolbar."  That's nice to know but without a screenshot where it is located, I could not see it.

I would appreciate any help in this matter.

Thank you,

My answer is for iray. You can turn on the headlamp in two different places. The most direct is to select the camera then select the Parameters tab. Headlamp status is one of the parameters that drops down ( along with translations, etc). Another choice is in Render Settings>Environment>Auto Headlamp.

I didn't include a screenshot because my workspace is probably not arranged like yours.

Great, thanks for your reply, Fasbike1.  

Now I still have the issue of rendering shadows.  Would you happen to know how to render the shadows on the ground?

Thank you very much!
