AreaLight(Light)

base classes — bpy_struct, ID, Light

class bpy.types.AreaLight(Light)

Directional area Light

contact_shadow_bias

Bias to avoid self shadowing

Type:: float in [0.001, 9999], default 0.03

contact_shadow_distance

World space distance in which to search for screen space occluder

Type:: float in [0, 9999], default 0.2

contact_shadow_thickness

Pixel thickness used to detect occlusion

Type:: float in [0, 9999], default 0.2

energy

Light energy emitted over the entire area of the light in all directions

Type:: float in [-inf, inf], default 10.0

shadow_buffer_bias

Bias for reducing self shadowing

Type:: float in [0, inf], default 1.0

shadow_buffer_clip_start

Shadow map clip start, below which objects will not generate shadows

Type:: float in [1e-06, inf], default 0.05

shadow_color

Color of shadows cast by the light

Type:: mathutils.Color of 3 items in [0, inf], default (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

shadow_soft_size

Light size for ray shadow sampling (Raytraced shadows)

Type:: float in [0, inf], default 0.0

shape

Shape of the area Light

Type:: enum in [‘SQUARE’, ‘RECTANGLE’, ‘DISK’, ‘ELLIPSE’], default ‘SQUARE’

size

Type:: float in [0, inf], default 0.25

size_y

Size of the area of the area light in the Y direction for rectangle shapes

Type:: float in [0, inf], default 0.25

spread

How widely the emitted light fans out, as in the case of a gridded softbox

Type:: float in [0, 3.14159], default 3.14159

use_contact_shadow

Use screen space ray-tracing to have correct shadowing near occluder, or for small features that does not appear in shadow maps

Type:: boolean, default False

use_shadow

Type:: boolean, default True

use_soft_shadows

Use soft shadows for this light

Type:: boolean, default True
