So in this tutorial, we’re going to show you how to create a PRO night scene by using spotlight, point light, glow map and more. Let’s jump into it.

OK, so as usual we have our scene open in iClone. And as you can see there are no lights in the scene. All we have is a character and other props set up, and we have all the lights turned off.
