Lights in the volume render view #185

Given that we support cinematic scattering, supporting multiple lights with individual light properties (diffuse color, position) would be awesome

Great suggestion! I hope you saw how you can position the light where you want by moving the camera to the desire position and then toggling-off the "Light follows camera" option.

We could perhaps allow folks to add and delete lights using that same interaction, but since our target audience is clinical professionals with limited computer experience, I hesitate to present them with too many options. Thanks for filing this issue - we can use it to track feedback and consider priorities / wants / needs / ...

Can also consider LightKit (see: ParaView) as a better default for multi-light setups.
