    Adjust the size of the glow object

    For more information about the optical effect of a light glow, see How glow works in animation.

    To change the size of a glow object

    1. For a Point light, renderSphere has a radius attribute which can increase the size of the glow object.

      Each light's Radius attribute can be changed to increase/decrease the radius as well.
