colorful lighting and all. |

PAGE ONE: THE LIGHTS/ CAMERA TAB
WHERE ALL THE MAGIC HAPPENS
Okay, so where exactly does all the magic happen? It happens in the Lights/
Camera Tab of Simpose [see below]:
Here is Mark, ready to be *colorized.* Let's do a step by step run of
how we might do this.
If you look at this section, you will see a dropdown box under Camera/
Lights controls. This section is very important, because four options are
what are needed to add lighting effects of your sims. Let's start with
the most important one: AMBIENT. What is the "Ambient" selection?
Pretend there is a main lamp flooding the stage where your sims stand.
The Ambient selection allows you to decide what kind of light you
want to flood your sims with.
A. STEP ONE: SELECT AMBIENT COLOR
The first thing I'm going to do is to choose "Ambient" to get the whole
ball rolling.
B. STEP TWO: CHANGE LIGHTING COLOR
The next thing I'm going to do is to change the quality of light that is
flooding the stage. So I click on the big button marked "Change:"
This causes a typical Windows color selector to pop up. I will choose
what looks like a very dark navy blue for "AMBIENT."
C. CHOOSE A DARK COLOR
Uh oh! Now look what happened! Now my sim is all dark blue!
This is because I flooded the stage with a dark navy blue colored light.
But don't worry-- things will brighten up considerably. Don't believe me?
Then let's continue with the next step in our tutorial!
