can also position lights by enabling one of the Light Direction options, which represent
eight different preset lighting angles. You can also create a custom lighting setup by
working in the sphere.

The Display slider beneath the lighting sphere controls the brightness of the sphere so
that it’s easier to see light positions. It does not affect the lights themselves.
Sliders for the three Light Controls let you set the properties of a light source. You can
also change a light’s color.

• The Conc (concentration) slider adjusts the spread of the light’s shine over the
surface.
• The Exposure slider globally adjusts the overall lighting amount from darkest to
brightest.
