Lighting Panel
The Lighting panel has options to control the position,
color, and brightness of the lights. NVIZ uses a fill light
and a main light.
The fill light is a permanent dim white light directly over the surface.
The main light controls the shading, which you adjust using the
Lighting panel. As you adjust the lighting, a lighting
model (sphere) appears on the surface and continually shows the effects
of the lighting changes.
