Thanks again. I really enjoy your tutorials.

Thanks Stefan! It was good to just be able to sit and explore Optics for an hour. I enjoyed it.

Your light gobos are really cool. Where can I get those?

[@borisfxlearn]

Thanks. Some of them have made it into Continuum 2023, but most of them are still in my private library. Let me have a think about how to get some more distributed during another Office Hours.

@@borisfxlearn Great. Thanks.

Can you clarify why it would matter which zone you use in ozone? The only difference is range / position from one zone to the next...Why would it matter to start at any specific zone if you can edit the range/position to match any zone

[@borisfxlearn]

Great question. The only difference is when making fast, intuitive corrections not a technical reason. It's easier to use the zones that are already there than make your own. And by starting in a particular zone you can see if it is creating an effect you like, or just pushing things into areas that don't look good.
