\class Light
\brief The Light class represents the parameters of a light in a 3D scene.
\since 4.7
\ingroup qt3d
\ingroup qt3d::painting
The functions in this class are a convenience wrapper for the OpenGL enumerations
which control each light source in a 3D scene. For the general ambient light in a
scene, not from a source refer to QGLLightModel.
The ambient, diffuse and specular components of the light can be controlled for by
colour, and are set by the following functions:
\list
\o setAmbientColor()
\o setDiffuseColor()
\o setSpecularColor()
\endlist
Other than changing intensity by using darker color values, see below for how to
change the intensity of the light with distance from the lit object.
Light sources are of two types, directional and positional, described by the
enumeration Light::LightType. By default a light source is directional.
A directional light source is infinitely distant, such that its rays are all
parallel, to a direction \bold vector. This vector is set by the setDirection()
function. If the light source is not directional when setDirection() is called, its
type is changed to Directional. Directional light sources model real world light
sources like the sun. Such light sources are not located at any particular point
and affect the scene evenly.
In the OpenGL model-view, a directional light is represented by a 4d vector, with
the 4th value, \c w, set to 0.0f. This means that the spatial data of the light
is not changed during certain transformations, for example translation.
See \l {3D Math Basis} for a fuller explanation of this.
Calling the setPosition() function defines the light source to be located at a given
\bold point, a finite distance from the lit object. If the light source is not
positional when this function is called its type is changed to Positional.
A positional light source models a real world lamp, such as a light-bulb or
car headlight. Since it is a finite distance from the lit object the rays diverge
and lighting calculations are thus more complex.
In OpenGL the light has its spatial data \c w value set to 1.0f, resulting in the
lights position being changed along with other objects in the scene by transformations
such as translation. See \l {3D Math Basis} for more.
Positional lights are by default point sources, like the light-bulb where light
radiates in all directions. Calling the spotAngle() function sets an angle to
restrict the light from a positional source to a cone like the car headlight. This
makes the light behave like a spotlight, where objects outside of the cone of the
light do not receive any light from that source.
The spotlight may be further specified by its spotExponent() which dictates the
behaviour of the cutoff at the lighting cone; and by the attenuation functions
which are the terms in the following equation:
\image attenuation.png
here \c d is the distance of the light from the lit object, and A is the attenuation
factor which is a multiplier of the light source, determining its intensity at the
lit object. The terms in the denominator are:
\list
\o constantAttenuation() - default 1.0
\raw HTML
k<sub>c</sub>
\endraw
\o linearAttenuation() - default 0.0
\raw HTML
k<sub>l</sub>
\endraw
\o quadraticAttenuation() - default 0.0
\raw HTML
k<sub>q</sub>
\endraw
\endlist
When these terms are large the light contributed by the source becomes much weaker
with distance from the object.
