Light Sources


Up to 8 light sources can be used. In addition to the individual sources, there is a global ambient light. Light colors and positions are defined with the Lights property sheet. For each light source, the 3 colors can be set separately.

The lights are defined to be infinitely far away. Their position, shown and set on the Lights Position property page, define the direction of the light source. The property page has a Locate with Mouse button that enables positioning of the light source in the 2D windows. When selected, the program expects a left click in a 2D window; the light position follows cursor movement with the left button held down.

The light positions are fixed. They do not rotate with the model. As such, the X, Y, and Z labels on the Lights Position property page are misleading. We will add an option to have the lights remain fixed or rotate with the model.
