Use Gradient
A Spot light with a gradient.
This option makes it possible to dene several colors over the course of a gradient’s falloff. When
active, this gradient overwrites the color dened in the “General” tab.
Near Clip
From = 90, To = 90. From = 90, To = 150.
Enable Near Clip to restrict the illumination and visible light (if present) radially with an Omni light
and linearly with all other light types. The light source does not have to radiate light from its origin;
the radiation may begin, for example, ve meters from the light’s origin. The two values used for this
effect are From and To and signify the distance for the clipping effect. The larger the difference in the
two values, the softer the transition.
If 10 m and 50 m are entered into the two elds, there will be no illumination
from the light source between 0 and 10 m; from 10 m the luminosity begins,
reaching full luminosity at 50 m.
