Hello, I’m new to Slicer and I would like to use the Lights module to make a nice figure for my paper. However, I cannot seem to find the Sandbox extension in the extension manager. Do you have any suggestions on where I may find the Lights module? Many thanks!

Extensions are only provided for the latest Slicer Stable Release or latest Slicer Preview Release. I would recommend the latest Slicer Preview Release (downloaded yesterday or today).

Tried this in Preview and think this will be very helpful for preparing slides or illustrations.
