Yes , I have a light statement below:


#if (Photo =true)
camera{
       orthographic
       location <0.000001,20,0>
       look_at <0,0,0>
       direction -y
       sky z

  up 2*z
  right 2*x
      }
#else
camera{location <2.5,4,2.5> look_at <0,1,0>}
#end

light_source{<10,20,10>*100 color rgb 1}


height_field{png

             #if (Anim_Serie=true)

                     #if (tps>=0 & tps<4)
//Etc..

I make a series of renderings to make image maps (the camera is orthographic)

And for example the message pane of the 11th image :
