RE: [Request] Pointlights

I assume you don't know what PointLights are, right? PointLight as basically a spherical light source in the game engine, they give light in all directions for a set distance, which can be edited at their properties. They cannot like SpotLight shine in one direction and/or make objects cast shadows, and they are not used to set a basic ambient light in box-shape like BoxLights.

PointLights are used to make a local light source to imitate light that is reflected by a strong light source, like a candle or a SpotLight used at a window. (With the latter, the SpotLight is used to shine into the room through the window, or make it seem like light comes in, and the PointLight to make some remaining light 'spread' into the room.)

Hope this info helps a bit. Smile
