They contain various parameters like type, position, attenuation (how light intensity fades with distance), colour etc. @par The defaults when a light is created is pure white diffues light, with no attenuation (does not decrease with distance) and a range of 1000 world units. @par Lights are created by using the SceneManager::createLight method. They can subsequently be added to a SceneNode if required to allow them to move relative to a node in the scene. A light attached to a SceneNode is assumed to havea base position of (0,0,0) and a direction of (0,0,1) before modification by the SceneNode's own orientation. If not attached to a SceneNode, the light's position and direction is as set using setPosition and setDirection. @par Remember also that dynamic lights rely on modifying the colour of vertices based on the position of the light compared to an object's vertex normals. Dynamic lighting will only look good if the object being lit has a fair level of tesselation and the normals are properly set. This is particularly true for the spotlight which will only look right on highly tesselated models. In the future OGRE may be extended for certain scene types so an alternative to the standard dynamic lighting may be used, such as dynamic lightmaps. */ class _OgreExport Light : public MovableObject { public: /// Temp tag used for sorting Real tempSquareDist; /// Defines the type of light enum LightTypes { /// Point light sources give off light equally in all directions, so require only position not direction LT_POINT, /// Directional lights simulate parallel light beams from a distant source, hence have direction but no position LT_DIRECTIONAL, /// Spotlights simulate a cone of light from a source so require position and direction, plus extra values for falloff LT_SPOTLIGHT }; /** Default constructor (for Python mainly). */ Light(); /** Normal constructor.
