Interface
Light Properties group
On (Both Create panel and Modify panel) Turns the light on and off. When
On is on, shading and rendering use the light to illuminate the scene. When
On is off, the light is not used in shading or rendering. Default=on.
In viewports, the interactive renderer shows the effect of turning lights on or
off.
Targeted When on, the light has a target. When off, you aim the light using
transforms. This toggle lets you change the light from a target light to a free
light, or vice versa.
Target Distance Shows the target distance. For a target light, this field simply
displays the distance. For a free light, you can enter a value to change the
distance.
Shadows group
On Determines whether the current light casts shadows or not. Default=on.
Shadow Method drop-down list Determines whether the renderer uses
shadow maps on page 8125, ray-traced shadows on page 8103, advanced ray-traced
shadows
on page 8103, or area shadows on page 7913, to generate shadows for
this light.
