2013-06-30 Thread Pradeep Jha
Hello, I am using PV 3.98. I saw some earlier posts which mention that PV does not have an intuitive way of handling the Light direction and intensity. I was wondering if it is still the case for PV 3.98 or is there a easy way of handling light? I have been trying the Light option in
