Lighting

Summary

[!NOTE] Lighting is a service and cannot be created or destroyed.

There are two main controls under Lighting’s properties:

• Ambient is the general lighting that every object receives regardless of its position or rotation.
• Sun is the light placed on object faces that are in direct view of the sun. If shadows are enabled, then parts of a face can be blocked from the sun.
