​

Without light, your 3D-model would be dark. For an extensive explanation of the different lights and settings, please see here. There are different types of lights:

​

Ambient

Casts a global light at the map that illuminates all objects equally.

​

Directional

Casts a light that gets emitted in a special direction.

​

Point light

A light that gets emitted from a single point in all directions, such as a light bulb.

​

Spot light

Emits light from a single point in one direction, along a cone that increases in size the further from the light it gets.

​

Note

Depending on what lightning type you chose, different controls will be visible.

Lightning color

Position
