What are Lights?Lights in 3D Studio Max illuminate the scene. It provides better light than the default lighting. They are accessible under the "Create" panel, under the "Lights" tab. My first thoughts about LightsThey are overly complicated. There are settings that should be defaulted to on, in my opinion, but aren't. There are settings that completely throw off your light. There are even settings that don't seem to do anything. I believe that Autodesk should do more to make these less complicated than they are. What are Cameras?Cameras are artificial views made by the modeler to move the view of the audience around a scene during an animation. It can also be used to get a specific view for a picture. They are accessible in the "Create" Panel, under the "Cameras" tab. My first thoughts about CamerasI like cameras due to their accessibility. Instead of having to go through all of the panels to make a physical camera, you can just press Ctrl+C to make a physical camera of what you are viewing right now. They also give you a chance to give your audience whatever view you want. How are we using Lights and Cameras?In class, we are learning the types of lights and cameras available for us to use. We are also learning how each work with each other to create a more realistic scene. Below is a work that I made using a physical camera and a few lights. Do I like Lights and Cameras?Most lights, I am completely fine with. But, the Sun Positioner/Skylight are some that I disagree with, as they should be settings, not objects, in my opinion. But, I love cameras due to their flexibility.
