In Omi, lighting sets the mood, reveals textures, and draws the eye to your product. With one click, you can shift the entire atmosphere, just like a photographer going from a studio spotlight to soft morning light.

Summary:

Choosing a light:

Omi organizes lighting into several categories:

Packshots – Product visuals optimized by material

Neutral lifestyle – Realistic ambiance with no color dominance

Warm lifestyle – Warm-toned, orange-tinged visuals

Cold lifestyle – Cool-toned, blue-tinged visuals

Masks – Decorative shadow effects (leaves, shutters, etc.)

Legacy lights – Historical presets still available

Light settings

Once a light is selected, use the panel on the right to personalize it:

  • Turn – Rotates the source around the scene (left ↔ right)

  • Incline – Adjusts the vertical angle of the light

  • Intensity – Increases or decreases the light power

  • Color – Tints the light using a palette or HEX code

Animated lights (Video mode)

In Video mode, replace static lighting with animated presets (rotating beams, pulsing intensity, etc.). Select a preset, preview, and launch rendering.

The video option is only available for customers subscribed to this feature. If you're interested, contact your account manager or reach out via chat or at support@omi.so.
