Is there a Light Library in Workspace as there is in Model? I can't find it if there is. In the library browser, there is a library called "Shaders - Light Shaders", but when I insert a scene into that, it seems to insert the whole scene, not just lighting. I want to be able to save and return to just the lighting setup, while leaving the scene otherwise unchanged - the way it works in Model.


Thanks for any suggestions.

stan,


Thanks. I installed on the default tab at first. Saved a light setup that included an ambient light and directional light. Started a new scene with default lighting and tried to load the saved lighting and got an error message (see screen shot). So I uninstalled, re-installed on ambient tab and same error came up when I tried to load the setup.


Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

you didn't load the file from the file browser before trying to load in scene, my test name is still there...use the bar at the bottom of panel to open file browser..it should bring you right to the setups library..choose your file from the list..hth Gord :cool:
