light meter


Purpose
To measure the relative brightness of a light source.

Usage
Click the light meter toggle button to activate it. Click again to deactivate.

Comments
When the light meter toggle button is activated, the position of the light meter is represented by a green 3D cross that can be moved through space with move (button) or the x-y-z boxes in the status area. See the move and meter to sol button for a description of how to move the light meter. See the rel.intensity/abs. button for a description of how to use the light meter as an aid in setting up light intensities. The same light meter position is used for all light sources, so once the light meter has been moved it will remain there until it is moved again.
