Hey guys,
Every time I add a light (any kind), I can never get it to work. I see the symbol for the light, I can move it around - but it will not emanate on anything, whatsoever. I have changed values for everything on the light, but it won;t do anything. Is there a misplaced file somewhere? What to do? Thanks!

Yes to all of that but you might also try opening the After Effects manual now that you are diving into 3D. You are in for some real surprises among the delights. Working in three dimensions is 3 times more complicated than 2D and your comps will take 3 times as long to preview and 9 times as long to render.
