>>>GREG>>> Have completed the Glow and played around after completing the material in 3D32-A.. Some how I have lost one of my omni lights in Viewer, Left and Right. Try Zooming to extents to find the light. This is one of the icons on the bottom right of the screen. It has a Cube in it. Right click to update all views. I hope this helps. <<<GREG<<<

<<Some how I have lost one of my omni lights in Viewer, Left and Right. I know it is there somewhere. But where?>> Firstly press ALT+L then Right-click on the "zoom extents" icon in the bottom right corner you should then see your lights and where they are. Just as a word of advice; when you create the single light at the position of the camera use Exclude to remove all other objects from it and likewise exclude the "glow" object from all othe other lights. You only want to have the single light at the camera illuminating the glow object otherwise you are going to have "weird" looking glow. To position the light at the exact position of the camera, go to the Keyframer and use KeyInfo to obtain the exact position of the light at Key #1 then copy these coordinates into the position for the light. The light will then be at the same position as the camera. Then link the light to the camera so when the camera moves the light goes alone with it. <<Saw the light in the middle of the globe but 3DS says NO LIGHT THERE!.>> Check that you have selected the right "type" of light before you select it.
