Detailed Description

Lighting object that radiates light in all directions.

PointLight is one of the two types of lighting objects that can be added to a Torque 3D level, the other being SpotLight. Unlike directional or conical light, the PointLight emits lighting in all directions. The attenuation is controlled by a single variable: LightObject::radius.
