***
Each controller is designed to simplify a different aspect of lighting, from bulk editing and organization to gradients and reusable lighting setups.
***
### Controllers
#### Area Controls
Control lights located inside a Box or Sphere volume. Ideal for managing lighting based on spatial location such as rooms, corridors and different zones.
***
#### Group Control
Create custom light collections regardless of where the lights are placed in the level. Perfect for fixtures, decorative sets or manually organized lighting groups.
***
#### Control By Light Types
Edit every Point, Spot or Rect Light in the level simultaneously without manually selecting them.
***
#### Blueprint Class Control
Control Light Components inside Blueprint Actors directly from a single controller without opening individual Blueprint instances or touching its hierarchy. Perfect for creating and controlling variations for Blueprint Actors with light components..
***
#### Gradient Controls
Apply smooth transitions across light properties using multiple gradient calculation methods.
**Distance Dependent Method**
Creates gradients based on each light's distance from a the boundary's start point. Lights automatically receive values according to how far they are from the origin.
**Position Ranked Method**
Creates gradients by ordering selected lights according to their position along the gradient direction, then distributes values evenly from the first light to the last.
Learn More About Gradient Methods
* **Distance Dependent** → The physical distance determines the gradient value.
* **Position Ranked** → The order along an axis determines the gradient value, regardless of the spacing between lights
For example, if lights are unevenly spaced:
```
A----B-C----------D
```
**Distance Dependent**
```
0% ----25%-35%------------100%
```
**Position Ranked**
```
0% ---33%---66%-----------100%
```
One depends on world distance, the other depends on rank/order.
***
#### Advanced Lights
Enhanced native Unreal Engine lights featuring Save/Load presets and Isolation Mode while preserving the standard light workflow.
***
### Workflow Features
#### Bulk Editing
Modify multiple lights simultaneously from a single Details Panel.
***
#### Selective Property Editing & Synchronization
Update only the light properties you choose while preserving all other settings. This enables fast global adjustments without overwriting each light's unique configuration.
***
#### Sequencer Integration
Dedicated Sequencer Compatible controllers are designed for animation workflows by ensuring all supported light properties remain synchronized during Sequencer playback.
***
#### Gradient-Based Editing
Create smooth transitions across supported light properties using multiple gradient calculation methods for lighting effects, architectural visualization, and artistic workflows.
***
#### Light Functions
Apply and edit Light Function settings across multiple registered lights.
***
#### Save / Load Presets
Store and instantly recall multiple lighting configurations using built-in save slots.
***
#### Isolation Mode
Temporarily isolate registered lights to focus on a specific lighting setup while editing.
***
#### Editor, Runtime & Sequencer Versions
Choose the controller version that best fits your workflow, whether you're working exclusively in the editor, during gameplay or with Sequencer animations.
***
### Unreal Engine Integration
* Uses native Unreal Engine light actors and components.
* Non-destructive workflow.
* Familiar Details Panel interface.
* Works alongside existing lighting workflows.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://dorreal-art.gitbook.io/dorreal_art_docs/lightwave-dynamics/explore/features.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
