Understand the various kinds of lights you can add to a project to both illuminate graphics in 3D space and cast shadows between layers.
- [Instructor] In addition to having the ability…to make 2D layers exist in 3D space,…you can also affect those layers with lights.…And when you add lights into the scene,…you can do things like cast shadows or…control the illumination of each of the different layers.…So to show you how this works.…Let's start by actually pressing F6…on our keyboard to hide the timeline…and then go up under the Add Object button here,…and let's add a Light into the scene.…
Notice we could add a Light Setup as well,…but we'll get to that later.…Let's start by adding a Light into the scene.…Notice the second I do that, I'm asked if…I want to switch all my layers to 3D and that's because…none of these layer groups exist in 3D space.…So I'll go ahead and switch them to 3D.…So now a light's been added to…the top of my layer hierarchy.…In here you can see I've got my logo and background layer.…If you ever want layers to ignore lights,…you can easily just switch the layer back into 2D space…by clicking on the icon here to go ahead…and switch the background back into 2D space.…
