💡Lights

To place a Light into your Animotive scene, toggle on the Menu then select the Tools Menu in the toolbar and press the right trigger button. After selecting Tools, select the lighting icon and press the right trigger to spawn a Light in the scene.

To move your Light, hover over it with your laser, and hold down the Grip button. There are two ways to move the Light with your laser. The default mode is Linear Mode. You can move the Light anywhere in the space by moving your controller and holding the Grip. You can move the Light closer or farther away from you by pushing the Thumbstick forward or back. When you are happy with the orientation and position, just release the Grip on your controller.

The second mode is called Parabola Mode. You can switch to this by flicking the right Thumbstick left or right. In Parabola Mode, the Light will become anchored to the floor, and you can move the Light through the space by moving your controller and holding the Grip button. You can rotate it as well, by twisting your controller left or right. To place a Light, make sure your laser is blue, and release the Grip button.

To change the lighting properties, such as the intensity, angle or saturation, select the Light you wish to adjust using your right hand laser and press the right trigger. Now look to your left hand to see the lighting properties menu. You can adjust any of the properties by selecting them with your right hand laser and pressing the right trigger.
