  • Sun

    This options generates a light map, by default the viewer starts with no light map. To generate a light map choose the angle X and Y of light source and the opacity (0-100). Angles just take effect when you "apply angles", opacity takes immediately effect on value change. The light source vector starts as (0,0,-1) meaning all light rays are perpendicular to the map, changing X and Y angles rotates the light source vector on plane X and Y.
