Light

What is it about?

This page documents the Hair Light tag in Cinema 4D. Assigned to a light source, it defines hair-specific shadow properties for that light — giving fine control over how individual lights shade and shadow rendered hair.

Note:This Light tag is ignored by Redshift (all shadow settings are configured directly in the Redshift light sources).

The Light tag is designed to be assigned to light sources.

The Light tag lets you define various shadow-specific properties for the hair specific to the light source being used. A light source must have its own type of shadow already defined. If the light source has its shadows deactivated, activating Soft Shadows in the Light tag will not do any good.
