Interfa ce
Distr ibution—Describes the directional
distribution of the light emitted by a source. There
are several different distributions:
•
Isotropic (page 2–1167)
• Spotlight (page 2–1168)
• Web (page 2–1169)
• Diffuse (page 2–1168)
Note: Target Point and Free Point lights can have
either Isotropic, Spotlig ht, or Web distribution.
All other photometric lights use either Web or
Diffuse distribution.
