To switch light sources:
• Press
L
or select
Light
.
The light sources are shown as green or yellow pyramids.
They only display their color when highlighted, and are
alterable. Default is first light source (green pyramid).
Rotate UP/DOWN
or LEFT/RIGHT
Changes the position of either light source. Think
of the light source, represented by either a green or
yellow pyramid pointing at the wireframe model,
as orbiting the center of the object.
LEFT/RIGHT
rotation moves the light around the equator, while
UP/DOWN
rotate moves it around the poles.
Specular:
Specular describes the mirror-like reflection of a
surface at or near a viewing point perpendicular to
that surface. This quality can also be considered
the shininess of a surface, like a spotlight effect in
a studio. Enter a value from
1 to 100 o increase or
decrease this reflective quality. Values closer to
100 cause a sharp, thin highlight. Values closer to
1
result in a wider, more gradual highlight.
Ambient:
Ambient describes the surface reflection whose
intensity is independent of both surface location
and orientation. Enter a value from
0 to 100 . The
higher the value, the brighter the object. The spec-
ular effect diminishes as the ambient light is
increased. All parts of an object are lit at the min-
imum ambient level, regardless of
Intensity or
Specular
values. This effect is similar to a flood
light in a studio setting.
Intensity:
Intensity
controls the darkness/brightness of light
on an object. Enter a value from 0 (unlit) to 100
(brightly lit). To turn a light source off, enter
0
in
both the Ambient: and Intensity: fields. This
effect is like a dimmer control for the object’s
lighting.
