Add a Directional Light Source

A directional, coloured light source can be attached to any 3D simulation object. This lets you add fixed and dynamic lighting to your 3D scene.

See Add a VR Object Light for background information.

To add a light source

Display the Sheets control bar. This is typically found in your Home menu, although this differs between products.
If you haven't done so already, add a simulation object to your 3D view.

See Placing objects on surfaces of existing objects, Mobile Simulation Objects, Place a Group of VR Objects and Stationary VR Object types.
Right click the VR Object Types folder and select New.

The Object Type Properties screen displays.
In the Lights field, double-click <Add new light>.

The Light Properties screen displays.
In the Type box, choose a Directional light type. A Directional light source illuminates all object surfaces equally and is not affected by the position of the object the light source is attached to. The direction of the light is specified relative to the object axes, and hence, is affected by the orientation of the object in the world.
Set the Color of the light.

Tip: if you're after very obvious lighting, set the colour to something that contrasts strongly with the colours used for other 3D objects in the 3D window.

Define the Orientation of the light source by the Yaw (rotation about the Z or vertical axis), Pitch (rotation about the X or transverse axis) and Roll (rotation about the Y or central axis) angles relative to the object axes:

Yaw	Pitch	Roll	Direction
0	90	0	Points vertically down
180	0	0	Points horizontally backwards
90	0	0	Points horizontally sideways
0	30	0	Points 30 degrees down to the front
45	-45	45	Points diagonally up to the top right
