Setting the surface where light strikes the
image

(4156).

You can make the Spot Lighting effect more effective
by adjusting the [Total Ambient] parameter to lower
the brightness of the entire image.
The [Total Ambient] setting is common to the
Lighting function.
4 In the <Surface Select> group, select the state of the
surface struck by the light.
Flat: The image surface is unchanged. This causes the
selected light source to appear as the effect.
Non Linear: Spotlighting effect is applied to an area
to which a DME nonlinear effect is applied.
The Spotlighting [Non Linear] setting is effective for
the following nonlinear effects. For other effects, the
result is the same as selecting [Flat].
Wave, Mosaic Glass, Flag, Ripple, Lens, Panorama,
Page Turn, Roll.
5 When [Non Linear] is selected in step 4, set the
following parameter.
a) Plus emphasizes bumps in texture, minus emphasizes depressions.
0.00 is a flat surface.
To set a test sphere
1 In the Spot Lighting menu (4156), press [Test Sphere],

a) Light appears from Z direction. At –100.00 the light is directed
toward the rear, at +100.00 the whole image is lit like a flat effect.
For details about the relationship of test spheres and
light sources, see “Relation between test spheres and
parallel light rays” (page 246).
