Add Lights to the Model

To add lights to the model

  1. Open the Presenter window, and click the Lighting tab.
  2. In the left pane, choose the light you want to add to the scene.
  3. Drag the light and drop it into the palette (right pane of the Lighting tab). This will automatically be added to the scene.
    Note: If you drag a light studio into the palette, this will replace any existing lights with those that make up the light studio.

    As a general guide, the more lights there are in a scene, the longer it will take to render it photorealistically. For external rendered scenes, you may consider using the Standard Light Studio from the Recommended archive as a starting point, then strategically add a couple of Point and Spot lights around the scene. Point lights are good to light up a dark area of the scene, while Spot lights can add an element of drama and enhance realism.
