PointLightComponent.Radius Property

Definition

The radius of the light emitting shape.

public:
 property float Radius { float get(); void set(float value); };
public float Radius { get; set; }
member this.Radius : single with get, set
Public Property Radius As Single

Property Value

Remarks

By default the radius is zero and the emitting shape is just a point. If the radius is set to a larger value, the shape becomes a sphere or even a tube, if Length is also set.

A non-zero radius yields more realistic lighting for light bulbs and other objects that have a glowing surface. However, for performance reasons the computation is only an approximation of an area light. If such a light source comes too close to geometry or even intersects with it, the resulting lighting won't be physically correct.

A InvalidParam error occurs if the value is negative, NaN or infinite.
