Manipulating light sources

The angle of the beam is modified by selecting the light source and using the GripperModify | Gripper to manipulate the axes such that the beam is directed at a specific target.

In the example below, a Point light is placed at the origin shown by point 1 and the beam is directed to point 2.

The Gripper is used to redirect the angles so that the beam is directed at the wall shown by point 3.

The calibration of the light attributes is done by double-clicking onto the light source and updating the information in the Inspector, shown below. In this example, a spot light is placed on point 1 and directed to point 2 with the intention of illuminating the green cylinder.

Calibrating the Spot light attributes

Multiple light sources can be placed in the editor, similar to the illustration below.
