Introduction

Describes custom light settings, including various light sub-types supported by modo 401.<!-- fill in one sentence starting with a verb that describes purpose of this element -->

Concepts

The modo render engine provides a general purpose collection of light settings and light sub-types, including both the basic directional, point, and spot lights specified by the common COLLADA technique, as well as more specialized light sub-types such as area lights and physically correct sunlights.<!-- Background info needed to understand this element's purpose and place within COLLADA -->

Details

modo 401 supports the following light sub-types, as indicated by the initial param element identified child carrier by the "lightType" sid, as shown in the table, above, and also as shown in the example later in this article:<!-- Additional info about how and where to use the element (and its children), lists of additional relevant links, detailed value tables for element or attribute values, etc. -->
  • area_light
  • cylinder_light
  • dome_light
  • photometric_light
  • point_light
  • spot_light
  • sun_light
Each of these light sub-types shares common light param elements, followed by the light sub-type-specific params, as shown in the tables above.
