CX Rendering, CX Texturing, CX Version 7 Specific, Design 3D CX

This lighting and rendering tutorial shows how to use luminous geometry to light the scene. It also uses the Lightdome during the second section to add additional illumination and reflections. In addition to the use of light panels, it also discusses how to create a glossy metallic paint type of setup.
