Lighting Preview

The in-game lighting preview tool can be invoked by bringing up the console and typing �pushmenu lighting�. The lighting preview tool shows up at the bottom of the screen and looks like the diagram below. Sliders can be moved and the effect of changing the values is displayed in the game.
