Object properties

  • Color (🎨 Color). Default value is 255;255;255.
  • Intensity (🔢 Number). Default value is 1.
  • Decay (🔢 Number). The amount the light dims along the distance of the light. Default value is 2.
  • Shadow casting (🔘 Boolean). Default value is true.
  • Shadow quality (Choice, one of: "Low", "Medium", "High"). Default value is Medium.
  • Shadow camera near plane (🔢 Number, Distance). Default value is 20.
  • Shadow camera far plane (🔢 Number, Distance). Default value is 2000.
  • Range (🔢 Number, Distance). 0 means no limit. Default value is 2000.
