Hey I’m trying to move the light source in MakieGL for a 3D plot. I can’t find it for the current version. Note that here [LScene](https://docs.makie.org/stable/examples/blocks/lscene/)

they do it, but that code doesn’t work anymore in the current version.

I have not being able to find how to change the material/texture of the surface that I’m plotting in 3D

Are you sure you’re on the latest version? Auto generated examples from the docs must work because otherwise the docs build would fail.
