<light> Element
The <light> element is a child of the <lightscene> element. The <light> element defines the type, color, and direction for one light in a lighting setup.
<light> Syntax
<light> Attributes
name
(String) Specifies the name of the light.
type
(String) Specifies the light type as direct (default), spot, or point.
relative
(String) Specifies whether the light is relative to the view (default) or the scene.

|
For orthographic projections, if you set the <light> attribute type="spot" or type="point", you should only set the attribute relative="scene". Setting relative="view" can produce unpredictable results.

<direction />
For
direct and
spot lights only—Specifies the XYZ vector for the direction of the direct or spot light source. (See
<direction> Element .)

For
spot lights only—Specifies the cutoff angle for the spot light source. (See
<angle> Element .)
