There are 3 different types of light elements you can create in Enklu Cloud: Directional lights, Point lights, and Spot lights.

Directional Lights

Directional lights do not have a source position. The light rays created are parallel to each other and the intensity does not diminish with distance. This means Directional lights can be placed and moved anywhere within a scene without changing the way the lighting looks. Rotating a Directional light however will change the resulting lighting. Directional lights are often used to achieve sunlight effects.

The main properties you can adjust for Directional lights are Color and Intensity.

Point Lights

Point lights are a point in 3D space where light rays are emitted in every direction. Unlike Directional lights, rays created from Point lights are not parallel to each other and their intensity diminishes with distance. Point lights are often used to achieve lamp or fire effects.

The main properties you can adjust for Point Lights are Color, Intensity, and Range.

Spot Lights

Spot lights project a cone of light in one direction. The size of the cone is determined by its Spot Angle property. Similar to Point lights, light rays created from Spot lights are not parallel to each other and their intensity will diminish with distance. Spot lights are often used to achieve flashlight or streetlight effects.

The main properties you can adjust for Spot lights are Color, Intensity, Range, and Spot Angle.
