	Adjust the contrast of lighting. It is better to increase contrast for comfortable sculpting. {CR}DOUBLECLICK{C} to toggle between two modes - {CR}(1){C} Contrast is maximal, environment locked. It is good for sculpting. {CR}(2){C} Contrast is minimal, environment unlocked. It is good for rendering, painting, and visual estimation of the result
	Adjust the primary light intensity by holding the LMB down over this control and moving the mouse
	Adjust the light angle by holding the LMB down over this control and moving the mouse
	Drag to blur/sharp the environment texture in the viewport background
