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

This materials and lighting tutorial shows how to approach the lighting setup for an interior type of scene. It uses a single spot light and a white lightdome for lighting and shows how to evaluate the contribution of each to the final diffuse lighting. It also sets up a couple of materials which are important to the scene.
