General

 

 
  This tab deals with the following categories of options:

New Light Position
 
  This area lets you define how the new light sources you are going to create will be positioned. You can choose between three modes:
 

Default mode

The light source is positioned in the upper part of the geometry area, oriented down and centered:
  Spot light source - "Default" mode
  By default, this option is activated.
 

As Viewpoint

The light source is positioned according to the user's viewpoint:
  Spot light source - "As viewpoint" mode

By default, this option is cleared.
 

Gravitational

The light source is positioned along the X, Y or Z axis of the model. The axis to be used is defined by selecting the appropriate option next to "Gravitational":
  Spot light source - "Gravitational" mode along Y axis

By default, this option is cleared.
 

View Mode
 
  This area lets you activate/deactivate the view mode to be used by default when entering the Photo Studio workbench:
 

Parallel

If this option is selected, it means that when entering the Photo Studio Rendering workbench, your model is displayed in a parallel view.

By default, this option is activated.
 

Perspective

If this option is selected, it means that when entering the Photo Studio workbench, your model is displayed in a perspective view.

By default, this option is cleared.
 

Last saved

If this option is selected, it means that when entering the Photo Studio workbench, each model you open is displayed in the view (i.e. perspective or parallel) used to display the model at the time it was saved.
For instance, if you are working with a product in a perspective view then save it before closing the document, re-opening this product after activating the Last saved option automatically displays it in a perspective view.

Note: once your model has been saved, if you change the viewpoint afterwards then close the model without saving it again, this new viewpoint is not used when activating the Last saved option.

By default, this option is cleared.
 

Material Display
 
 

View material

If this option is activated, it means that when entering the Photo Studio workbench, the visualization mode is automatically switched to "Shading with Material".
The Shading with Material rendering style lets you display materials that have been applied onto your model.
Therefore, you do not need to select View > Render Style > Shading with Material  or click Shading with Material anymore.
  By default, this option is cleared.
