Light Cone group
These parameters control
hotspots and falloff on page 8007 for spotlights.
Show Cone Turns display of the cone on or off.
NOTE The cone is always visible when a light is selected, so turning off this check
box has no apparent effect until you deselect the light.
Overshoot When Overshoot on page 8077 is on, the light casts light in all
directions. However, projections and shadows occur only within its falloff
cone.
Hotspot/Beam Adjusts the angle of a light's cone. The Hotspot value is
measured in degrees. Default=43.0.
Falloff/Field Adjusts the angle of a light's falloff. The Falloff value is measured
in degrees. Default=45.0.
For photometric lights, the Field angle is comparable to the Falloff angle. It
is the angle at which the light's intensity has fallen to zero.
You can manipulate the hotspot and falloff by dragging manipulators in
viewports, as described in the previous procedures, and the later section
"Manipulators for Spotlights."
You can also adjust hotspot and falloff angles in a Light viewport (looking at
the scene from the point of view of the spotlight).
