Custom Softbox Redshift Area Light HDA - Redshift 3.0.57 (Patreon)

Hey guys! With the release of Redshift 3.0.57 Juanjo added a new "rscustomlight" & "rscustomlightdome" operators to let us save custom Redshift Light HDA's.

This means are recognized by Redshift and appear in the list of RS lights. For example customizing the shader network in the light to make more interesting gradients for soft boxes and so on. In the past if you did this you couldn’t “save” this light, you had to rebuild it each time for new scenes or copy paste it. So this is very very useful for custom light libraries.

So I decided to share this light HDA I just made to avoid having to re-build it for my scenes. It includes a couple useful edge controls to make the corners round, a falloff from the edges, and some noise options for the edges. Which makes the area light a bit more interesting like a soft box but still renders lighter than using the slower textured lights. Thanks again for the support and enjoy!

To install it all you need to do is drop it into your HDA library for example
