Description
A very basic tutorial I made to set out the main color and light controls in MB3D mainly meant for beginners who want to learn how the colors and lights controls work without having to learn it all by experimentation.Might even be one or two small items that some opld hands don't know, but for the most part, if you've been using MB for a while, you probably won't need this tutorial.
I do hope it helps somebody.

Thanks so much for this detailed tut. The only thing I've experienced differently is that background photos can be stored and uploaded into the program from any folder. And an additional note - any kind of image can be used as a light map as long as it's in the right folder and numbered correctly.

yes, I think I mentioned that you can use PNG, BMP or JPG as a light map...
I think the more recent versions of MB3D have put a limit on the BG images though, at least for me, I can not load them unless they are in the MB3D main folder, but that could just be me, or it could be just the latest version or two of MB
π: 0 β©: 1
AHA - that's why the new version wasn't working for me! Drat!
π: 0 β©: 1
that's probably it, just move the images you want to use to the main MB3D folder and then they will load

Or stick to the previous version which is what I've been doing...guess I'll have to sort that out eventually though...what's in the new version that I'm missing?
π: 0 β©: 1
the newest one as far as I know is 1.8.9 and it's probably worth having as it adds the volumetric light feature
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah yes! Have not tried that yet!

it's very cool when it works, but it can be rough getting it right, check bib's and Hal's tutorials if you try using it, they really help

Thanks - I've got them in faves!

ah, that's good!

Nicely done! There is so much to the Program. I barely use its potential. Thanks for the effort that went into this.
