To set the ambience in a 3D model container:
1. Select the Lights tab of the 3D container.
2. Set the Ambient value.
Increase the value to evenly illuminate the image adding other light effects.
Applying a Mode when Adding Light
When adding light to a Z space composite container, you can control how the filtered image
is composited with the source image. The mode blends the two images, giving the effects
many additional creative possibilities. Experiment with different modes to achieve realistic
lighting effects with lights of various colors.
It is important to note that in OpenGL mode, you will not see non-accelerated objects when
you use the on-screen interactors. Non-accelerated objects include apply modes. As you
adjust the interactors, the Composite window displays the message “Accelerated Draft
Preview” to let you know that you are not seeing all objects. When you release the mouse
button, the Composite window displays all objects. If you need to see all objects, press the
Alt or Option key while you interact.
To apply a mode:
1. Select the Z space composite container on the timeline.
2. Select the Lights tab in the Controls window.
3. Select the Apply Mode—see the “Apply Mode Menu” on page 260.
