OBJECTS MENU • LIGHTING • 359
Use Gradient allows for much more exible creation of color- and brightness gradients. “Use Falloff”,
also in the “Visibility” tab, must be activated.
NOTE:
“Intensity” (“General” tab) will now also affect the brightness of the visible
light!
NOTE 2:
If “Use Gradient” is not active, the gradient dened in the “Details” tab may
not be used either.
Additive
Additive enabled. Additive disabled.
Enable this option if you want to mix the light beam additively with other light sources.
Adapt Brightness
Adapt Brightness enabled. Adapt Brightness disabled.
This option prevents a light beam from being over-exposed. The brightness is reduced until the over-
exposed effect disappears.
