Overview

Scene lighting controls the illumination, shadows, and reflections in the 3D environment. Configure it in Scene Properties in Scene Editor, then save the scene. Creator uses the saved lighting settings when it loads the scene. Several training steps can share that scene. If a later Load Scene action loads a different scene, its lighting settings apply instead.

​
Lighting Belongs to the Scene

Lighting is saved with the scene version:
  • Trainings that load the same scene version use its saved lighting settings.
  • Updating a shared scene version can affect other trainings that use it.
  • Lighting and render settings affect both appearance and performance.
Creator does not provide a lighting override for an individual training or step.

​
Available Presets

The platform ships three shared lighting presets: Each preset defines ambient and directional lighting, shadow softness, and an environment map used for reflections and illumination. The separate Intensity control adjusts overall brightness; Performance controls render quality.

​
Scene Properties Controls

Open Scene Properties in Scene Editor to adjust these settings: These settings are saved with the scene and applied when it is loaded in Creator. Preview the training on its intended device to check readability, shadows, and performance; the authoring view does not guarantee identical rendering on every trainee device.

​
Applying a Lighting Change

1

Save the scene's lighting

Open the scene in Scene Editor, adjust Scene Properties, and save the scene version you intend to use.
2

Check the training's scene version

In Creator, open the relevant Load Scene action and check its selected scene and Version. If you created a new scene version, select it explicitly; reloading alone does not change a pinned version.
3

Save and reload

Save changes to the training with Ctrl+S on Windows or Cmd+S on macOS, then reload it to check the scene’s appearance.
4

Verify trainee playback

Run the saved training on the device learners will use. Check that instruction text, highlights, and important objects remain easy to see.

​
Can I Override Lighting for One Training?

Create a separate scene or scene version with the desired lighting, then select it in the training’s Load Scene action. Keep the existing scene version for trainings that should retain their current appearance.
