Lighting Adjustability in IDW Shaded Views

Lighting Adjustability in IDW Shaded Views

It would be great to be able to adjust lighting highlights on shaded views in an IDW file. This would be independent of model appearances & would not be saved to the model. But it would allow us to move the lights dynamically around an ISO view to get it looking it's best.

 

So often the model shading does not emphasize the geometry expecially with dark colors. The ability to move the lights around for the shaded idw views would solve this without compromising how the model is used downstream in renderings, etc.

 

Another option would be to make the shaded models dynamically adjustable right in the IDW view instead of going through the tedious "Adjust View Angle".

 

See attached example.

Notice that the image on right is exactly how it appears in the model. It's much better defined with lighting highlights. The drawing on the left is how the same exact same model apears in the drawing, not well defined.
