I want to change my lighting default settings to have NO directional lighting, only Ambient, set at 0.85. I've tried changing settings, saving the scene as a new scene, over-writing an already existing scene - all to no avail. All I want is for only Ambient lighting to show, at a certain value, every time I open/create a part, open/create an assembly. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Once you set your lighting to what you want, you'll need to add one more step and that is......
Save your "Templates", otherwise the changes are only for the part or assembly that you just changed and that's it.
So you mean I need to not worry about saving the scene, and instead get everything set, and save that blank as a part template, and assembly template?
You are a genius, got it exactly how I wanted, thanks! It seems... odd, that the Help article on lighting and scenes don't mention anywhere that you should save it as templates. All that is mentioned is saving the scene
Evan Lockard Glad it worked out for ya

Also, I should mention, I've tried the "Ambient Only" scenes, and they still have one directional light.
