8. Press P to hide the Position property, and then choose File > Save to save your work so far.Adding 3D lights
You’ve created a 3D scene, but it doesn’t yet look three-dimensional from the front. Adding light
to a composition creates shadows that give depth to the scene. You’ll create two new lights for
your composition.
Creating a light layer
In After Effects, a light is a type of layer that shines light on other layers. You can choose from
among four different types of lights—Parallel, Spot, Point, and Ambient—and modify them with
various settings. Lights, by default, are directed toward a point of interest, which is the focus area
of the scene.
1. Deselect all layers, so that the new layer you create will appear at the top of the layer stack.
2. Press the Home key or move the current-time indicator to the beginning of the time ruler.
3. Choose Layer > New > Light.
4. In the Light Settings dialog box, do the following:
Name the layer Key Light.
Choose Spot from the Light Type menu.
Set Color to a light orange (R= 255 , G= 235 , B= 195 ).
Make sure Intensity is set to 100% and Cone Angle to 90 degrees.
Make sure Cone Feather is set to 50%.
Select the Casts Shadows option.
Set Shadow Darkness to 50% and Shadow Diffusion to 150 pixels.
