Add accent lights

 
 
 

Accent lights are independent sources of illumination in your scene. They can be used to create highlights, dramatic lighting, or emphasize important parts of your models. Unlike the environment light or IBL, accent lights are objects within Showcase, and can be positioned, edited, grouped, hidden or added to alternatives. They are represented in your scene with 3D “grips.”

Note

In Hardware Rendering, accent lights do not cast shadows, while in Ray Tracing mode, accent lights can cast shadows based on their properties.

The following topics describe how to add accent lights to your scene.
