SunLight(Light)

base classes — bpy_struct, ID, Light

class bpy.types.SunLight(Light)

Constant direction parallel ray Light

angle

Angular diameter of the Sun as seen from the Earth (in [0, 3.14159], default 0.00918043)

Type:

float

energy

Sunlight strength in watts per meter squared (W/m²) (in [-inf, inf], default 10.0)

Type:

float

shadow_buffer_clip_start

Shadow map clip start, below which objects will not generate shadows (in [1e-06, inf], default 0.05)

Type:

float

shadow_cascade_count

Number of texture used by the cascaded shadow map (in [1, 4], default 4)

Type:

int

shadow_cascade_exponent

Higher value increase resolution towards the viewpoint (in [0, 1], default 0.8)

Type:

float

shadow_cascade_fade

How smooth is the transition between each cascade (in [0, 1], default 0.1)

Type:

float

shadow_cascade_max_distance

End distance of the cascaded shadow map (only in perspective view) (in [0, inf], default 200.0)

Type:

float

shadow_filter_radius

Blur shadow aliasing using Percentage Closer Filtering (in [0, inf], default 1.0)

Type:

float

shadow_jitter_overblur

Apply shadow tracing to each jittered sample to reduce under-sampling artifacts (in [0, 100], default 10.0)

Type:

float

shadow_maximum_resolution

Minimum size of a shadow map pixel. Higher values use less memory at the cost of shadow quality. (in [0, inf], default 0.001)

Type:

float

shadow_soft_size

Light size for ray shadow sampling (Raytraced shadows) (in [0, inf], default 0.0)

Type:

float

use_shadow_jitter

Enable jittered soft shadows to increase shadow precision (disabled in viewport unless enabled in the render settings). Has a high performance impact. (default False)

Type:

bool

inline_shader_nodes()

Get the inlined shader nodes of this light. This preprocesses the node tree to remove nested groups, repeat zones and more.

Returns:

The inlined shader nodes.

Return type:

bpy.types.InlineShaderNodes

  • default (bpy.types.Struct | None) – The value to return when not found.

Returns:

The RNA type or default when not found.

Return type:

bpy.types.Struct

classmethod bl_rna_get_subclass_py(id, default=None, /)
Parameters:

  • id (str) – The RNA type identifier.

  • default (type | None) – The value to return when not found.

Returns:

The class or default when not found.
