Relight: change the time of day and lighting in a render

Take a flat photo or render and re-time it, morning, midday, golden hour, dusk, or night, with weather and atmosphere, while geometry and materials stay fixed.

Building relit to a dusk hero shot with the Relight tool

Relight changes only the light, weather, atmosphere, and color temperature while preserving the architecture, materials, furniture, landscape, and composition. Renderha uses a professional lighting hierarchy, a primary light direction, soft fill, believable accent lights, ambient bounce, contact shadows, and protected highlights, so a flat midday photo becomes a golden-hour or dusk hero shot that still reads as a photograph rather than a beauty filter.

Weather is treated as a physical system, not a gray wash. Rain adds wet hardscape, roof runoff, beads on glass, and puddle ripples; snow adds believable accumulation on horizontal surfaces with clean melt edges. When the season changes, any people in the scene adapt their clothing and activity, so a warm pool scene converted to winter shows warmly dressed occupants rather than swimmers. Windows and glass stay believably exposed throughout.

Any time of day

Morning, midday, afternoon, sunset, and night each come with a calibrated lighting brief, so the re-time looks photographic, not filtered.

Physical weather

Rain and snow are built as real systems, with wet reflections, runoff, accumulation, and clean contact edges instead of a gray overlay.

Geometry untouched

Architecture, materials, furniture, and composition are preserved; only the lighting and atmosphere change.

Frequently asked

Will the building change?
No. Relight preserves geometry, materials, furniture, landscape, and composition and changes only the light, weather, and color temperature.
Can I get a dusk hero shot from a daytime photo?
Yes. A flat midday photo can be re-timed to golden hour or dusk while keeping windows and glass believably exposed.
What happens to people when the season changes?
They adapt: clothing and activity shift to match the new climate, so a summer scene turned to winter shows warmly dressed occupants.
