Adjusting texture lighting
Lighting determines a large part of the final look of a texture. Bad lighting can obscure details in a pattern
or surface. Good lighting, however, can add interesting highlights and enhance reflections.
You can use preset (simple) lighting or custom lighting. With simple lighting, you can choose one of eight
preset lights. With custom lighting, you can add more lights, and you can move and delete light sources.
