Editor on its own from the Layout interface
would not enable you to animate
the Light Color initially. After you have
entered the Graph Editor using any E
button, the value you enter remains
there until you clear it. Therefore, you
need to enter the Graph Editor from
particular E buttons only once.
3. Click the E button next to Light Color,
as shown in Figure 6.62.
After you??™ve clicked the E button, the
Graph Editor panel will open. It looks
essentially the same as when you used
it earlier this chapter, but now there??™s
a strip of color along its bottom edge.
LightWave enables you to use the
Graph Editor??™s capabilities on color
channels as well as motion channels.
Figure 6.63 shows the Graph Editor
with the color channel.
Figure 6.63 By clicking the E button for Light Color, the RGB values are now added to the
Curve Bin, and available for animation.

guides you to the Graph Editor for specific
control over Light Color.

In Figure 6.63, the Curve Bin doesn??™t show position, rotation, or scale channels,
but rather color channels.
