Enumeration Type Documentation

aiLightSourceType

enum aiLightSourceType

Enumerates all supported types of light sources.

Enumerator
aiLightSource_DIRECTIONAL	A directional light source has a well-defined direction but is infinitely far away. That's quite a good approximation for sun light.
aiLightSource_POINT	A point light source has a well-defined position in space but no direction - it emits light in all directions. A normal bulb is a point light.
aiLightSource_SPOT	A spot light source emits light in a specific angle. It has a position and a direction it is pointing to. A good example for a spot light is a light spot in sport arenas.
_aiLightSource_Force32Bit	This value is not used. It is just there to force the compiler to map this enum to a 32 Bit integer.
