InheritanceDirectionalLight3D Inheritance AbstractLight

Lightsource that colors all shaded materials proportional to the dot product of the offset vector with the normal vector. The scalar value of distance does not affect the resulting light intensity, it is calulated as if the source is an infinite distance away with an infinite brightness.

Public Properties
