<li class="level1 node"><div class="li"> Lighting is the bane of many people new to 3-D art– and of some who aren't so new. If you have trouble with lighting, this manual is for you! It explains the basic concepts of lighting in a clear, easy-to-follow manner, without a bunch of technical jargon. Topics covered include:</div>
<ul>
<li class="level2"><div class="li"> –what the various lights are, how they work, and how to use them;</div>
</li>
<li class="level2"><div class="li"> –how to create a 'light ball' to provide ambient lighting, using only twelve lights;</div>
</li>
<li class="level2"><div class="li"> –what things such as 'shadow bias' are and what they do;</div>
</li>
<li class="level2"><div class="li"> –how the color, intensity, and direction of lighting affect the 'mood' of the picture;</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> and much more!</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> There is no light set included– the purpose of this manual is to teach you how to create your own light sets. You won't learn how to create super-fancy 'art' pictures, but you will learn how to create good renders using fairly simple light sets, and you will learn the basic concepts of lighting– a foundation you can build upon.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> This manual is written for <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio, but the principles and concepts set forth in it apply to any 3-D rendering program. The manual is in .PDF format, with bookmarks and table of contents.</div>

<ul>
<li class="level2"><div class="li"> 'It does exactly what it says on the tin!– a solid introduction, well worth a read for newcomers of the art.' – Jack Tomalin</div>
</li>
<li class="level2"><div class="li"> 'blondie has captured the essence of lighting in an easy-to-understand tutorial designed for <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio but applicable to just about any 3-D package out there.' –Nightsong</div>
</li>
<li class="level2"><div class="li"> 'I must say that this is a well done and very needed tutorial.' –DimensionTheory</div>
</li>
<li class="level2"><div class="li"> 'Blondie tackles another important aspect of 3D– Lighting. Her introduction to lighting provided me with lots of 'Oh, that what it does' moments that had stumped me previously in lighting scenes. As with her previous guide, this covers the basics in lighting scenes for different situations, including day and indoor scenes. Though geared toward <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio, blondie gives the equivalent concepts for Poser as well.' –Male_M3dia</div>
