Light Effects

Light effect objects can be added to enhance your 3D World. These objects are not true light sources that display light on the surrounding terrain, but rather image labels with the Blend Mode option turned on that simulate local light effects.

To add a light effect object:

1.     On the Effects tab, in the Light group, click Light Effect. The Data Library dialog is displayed showing the Lights tab, with different lighting effect objects, rotations, and colors.

2.     Select the required effect.

3.     Place the effect object in the 3D Window by clicking in the desired location. The effect object is added to the Project Tree. The light objects are stored in PNG format, and added to the project as image labels with the Blend Mode option turned on.
