Menu : SCENE

Command: Edit:Lights

Shortcut : None

This command controls the general viewing and lighting parameters for the shaded and ExTrace images. These include such items as the camera and light points, spotlights, light colors and intensities. The camera defines the view direction and angle for rendering shaded images and in ExTrace.

The command enters a light editing mode where the positions of all the lights and the camera can be edited graphically. After executing the command you are asked whether the current eye point view should be adopted as the starting location for the camera or whether the camera should remain in it's previously defined location.

The changes to lights and camera are stored in a special element in the object window called SCENE after exiting the editor.

The available scene editing functions are explained separately in the Editing Functions part of this Manual.
