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¶

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

static getClassType() → TypeHandle¶

Return type: TypeHandle

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

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

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
