Adding Lighting

This operation can only be carried out on M/E effects. It is not supported for some patterns.

For more information, refer to “Effect Pattern Transformations and Modifications” in the Appendix (separate document).

Lighting types

There are three types of lighting. The type of lighting is fixed in advance for each effect number. It cannot be selected.

Plane light: Parallel light rays strike the picture from a specified direction. You can set the direction. The brightness of the light varies according to the angle.

Preset light: Light strikes the picture in a form which varies according to the effect pattern. Brightness is constant, regardless of the position of the picture.

Preset + shade: Shading is added to the Preset light described above.

To add lighting

Note

Lighting is added to both channels of 2-channel effects. It cannot be added to nor adjusted for individual channels.
