Example

Let's say for example we have the following scene containing a prop of a camp fire. In order to show the camp fire is lit we might add a light source.

Adding a light source to our scene

1. Right click on the camp fire in the hierarchy window on the left side of the mod editor screen.
2. In the context menu that opens move your mouse to 'Light'.
3. Click on 'Point Light' from the options of lights.
4. You should now have a light source under your camp fire, click on the lights gizmo icon and move the light slightly up.
5. While selecting the light game object, look in the inspector window on the right side of the mod editor.
6. Find the 'Color' option and change it to orange.

We now have a light source under our campfire that makes it appear lit.
