# Creating and Editing Environments

To optimize the lighting we will edit the environment:

* We will change its rotation, in case the shadows generated are not the required ones. Rotation.
* We will also take into account the light intensity of the environment. Intensity

We can import an environment, dragging it from any folder to the workspace. Another option is to create a new environment, for this, we will follow the same mechanics as the creation of materials.

From the + icon we can both import and create a new environment.
