Long name (short name)TypeDefaultFlags
decayRate (de) enum0outputinputconnectablestorable
The decay rate with respect to the distance between the light and the surface point being shaded. The decay values range from 0 - 3. The light intensity decays according to (I / d ** v), where I is the light intensity, d is the distance between the light and the surface point being shaded, and v is the decay rate value. A decay rate of 0 means there is no decay in intensity, a value of 1 indicates linear decay. A decay rate of 2 is the most physically accurate behaviour.
emitDiffuse (edi) booltrueoutputinputconnectablestorable
Determine if this light contributes to the diffuse shading.
emitSpecular (esp) booltrueoutputinputconnectablestorable
Determine if this light contributes to the specular shading.
