View Templates for Render Settings
A view template is a collection of properties that you define for views of a particular type. After defining
render settings for a 3D view, you can store those settings in a view template. When you want to use the
same render settings for another 3D view, apply the view template to that view.
A 3D view template can store the following render settings:
■ Quality
■ Lighting scheme and sun position
■ Settings for artificial lights that are dimmed and turned on and off
■ Background color or sky and cloud settings
■ Exposure settings
