DirectionalLight

The DirectionalLight command inserts a light that simulates the sun defined with parallel rays and a direction.

Location point (1), dolly point (2), target point (3).

Steps

1. Pick a location at which to aim the directional light.
2. Pick a location for the directional light.

Note

● A directional light shines toward a specified direction. The location of the light does not matter: the light object merely indicates the direction the light shines.
● Turn on the light's control points and move or drag the control points to edit the light's direction and target.
● To move the light without changing its direction, move the dolly point (the control point at the midpoint on the direction vector).
