panda3d.core.PointLight¶

class PointLight¶

Bases: LightLensNode

A light originating from a single point in space, and shining in all directions.

Inheritance diagram

__init__(name: str) → None¶

property attenuation¶

Getter: Returns the terms of the attenuation equation for the light. These are, in order, the constant, linear, and quadratic terms based on the distance from the point to the vertex.
Setter: Sets the terms of the attenuation equation for the light. These are, in order, the constant, linear, and quadratic terms based on the distance from the point to the vertex.

Return type: LVecBase3

clearSpecularColor() → None¶: Clears a custom specular color setting, meaning that the specular color will now come from the color.

static getClassType() → TypeHandle¶

Return type: TypeHandle

getMaxDistance() → float¶: Returns the maximum distance at which the light has any effect, as previously specified by set_max_distance.

getPoint() → LPoint3¶

Returns the point in space at which the light is located. This is local to the coordinate space in which the light is assigned, and is usually 0.

Return type: LPoint3

property max_distance¶

Getter: Returns the maximum distance at which the light has any effect, as previously specified by set_max_distance.
Setter: Sets the radius of the light’s sphere of influence. Beyond this distance, the light may be attenuated to zero, if this is supported by the shader.

Return type: float

property point¶

Getter: Returns the point in space at which the light is located. This is local to the coordinate space in which the light is assigned, and is usually 0.
Setter: Sets the point in space at which the light is located. Usually 0.

Return type: LPoint3

setAttenuation(attenuation: LVecBase3) → None¶: Sets the terms of the attenuation equation for the light. These are, in order, the constant, linear, and quadratic terms based on the distance from the point to the vertex.

setMaxDistance(max_distance: float) → None¶: Sets the radius of the light’s sphere of influence. Beyond this distance, the light may be attenuated to zero, if this is supported by the shader.

setPoint(point: LPoint3) → None¶: Sets the point in space at which the light is located. Usually 0.

setSpecularColor(color: LColor) → None¶: Sets the color of specular highlights generated by the light.

property specular_color¶

Getter: Returns the color of specular highlights generated by the light. This is usually the same as get_color().
Setter: Sets the color of specular highlights generated by the light.

Return type: LColor
