Adding Lighting to a Scene
Click to show the lighting panel. Or select the Component Tab to show all component sub-panels. To add a light to your scene, click on the desired light and drag it onto your scene. Scaling a light results in the intensity being increased or decreased. Lights can be re-positioned, re-oriented and animated just like any other shape. In addition to these lights, there is always one Ambient light within a scene. This light appears as small sphere. It may not be moved. Its intensity can be scaled in the usual way. A light's properties can be set by alt-double-clicking on it. All lights have a color property, which ranges from black (off) to white (maximum intensity). Lights that can be moved also have an attenuation factor and method. The attenuation factor and method specify how the intensity of the light changes with distance. |
