Under Preferences > 3d Visualization > Lights there are four lights that can be turned on/off. I'm wondering where (windows path? file?) the ambient/diffuse/specular color data and the x/y/z positions are saved for these lights?

Also, does anyone have any suggestions for light positions/colors that give a nice look to models in the viewer?
Thanks

your trying to alter the lights in the 3D view in Repitier, I've not done it so dont know if you can save the positions, but if you can then search for 3 point lighting and you will find many examples and colour combo's, but basically it's 2 in front/side's, (key light & modelling light) one behind the model, then you might have room for another light someewhere...

Since Repetier allows individually positioning each light with an x,y,z value, and giving a custom color it has to be saving that data somewhere, I just haven't found where.
Thanks for the info.
