This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

As far as I know, it's the 7 key.

As far as I know I haven't changed the settings for this one so the 7 is set as the one in the image:

But I need to set a key for the redlined command.

Thanks

5 is for the shademode

But I had an idea :
Yesterday it hadn't weorked because I tried to see what the commands look like in the script editor and couldn'r see anything

but today I forced the editor to echo all commands and now I can just copy the code into the hotkey editor

Thanks anyway

Well, the 5 key does switch to shaded mode AND default lighting... or are you trying to switch to default lighting with textures on or something?

Why do you want to do this anyway, if I may ask?

OK

I will make a couple of shelf buttons ( or assign to hotkeys )

to turn "Use All Lights" on:

====================================

DisplayLight;
{ string $currentPanel = `getPanel -withFocus`;
string $panelType = `getPanel -to $currentPanel`;
if ($panelType == "modelPanel") { modelEditor -edit -dl "all" $currentPanel; } else if (`isTrue "MayaCreatorExists"` && `scriptedPanel -ex $currentPanel` && `scriptedPanel -q -type $currentPanel` == "dynPaintScriptedPanelType") { dynPaintEditor -e -dtx 1 -dsl "all" $gDynPaintEditorName; }};

====================================
and to use default lights:
====================================

modelEditor -e -dl "default" modelPanel4;

=====================================

This is for the MEL illiterate guys :-)
