Say goodbye to static previews!
With the new Animation Module in set.a.light 3D V3 (Cinema Version or Add-On), your lighting setups move, shift, and evolve — just like in real life. Animate cameras, lights, props, and models with frame-perfect and curve control precision.
Reveal how light builds, shifts, and shapes your subject. Create smooth camera moves, timed transitions, and powerful lighting reveals — all within your 3D workspace.
This is perfect if you want to test ideas, present lighting concepts, or build stunning promo clips of your setups. Control every element: position, flow, timing, and rhythm.

Keyframe Animation
Gain precise control over virtually every object. Set specific positions, rotations, and movement points for your camera, models, and all lighting equipment along the timeline.
Camera Controls Animation
Animate the camera's position and the crucial focal length to create dynamic, cinematic effects and perspective shifts.
Lighting Power Animation
Keyframe the power level of individual studio lights, allowing you to choreograph stunning "power-up" sequences, fades, and dramatic light transitions.
Preset Model Animations
Add natural, lifelike movement to your virtual models with built-in motion presets (like gentle "Idle" movements) — no need for complex keyframing.
Axis Grouping & Animation
Group multiple lights and objects into a single folder (e.g. "Axis"). Animate the entire group simultaneously (e.g. rotating a whole lighting setup) while maintaining control over individual components.
Advanced Curve Editor
Refine the pacing and flow of your movements. Convert linear movements into sophisticated curves for smooth, professional camera and object motion.
Professional Rendering (4K & Batch Processing)
Ensure a high-quality professional output by rendering your final videos in stunning clarity up to 4K resolution. Maximize productivity by utilizing the dedicated Batch Rendering Module to queue multiple scenes or variants for automatic processing, e.g. overnight.
