Description

The Directional Light component simulates light coming from a distant source, such as the sun or a large artificial light. This light source is parallel, meaning that all the light rays are uniform and travel in the same direction, creating consistent illumination across the scene.

Usage

Directional lights are typically used to represent natural light sources like the sun or the moon, providing even lighting for large environments. They do not have a specific position but rather a direction, and their effects are visible over the entire scene, often used for daytime or outdoor environments.

Key Properties

• Color: Defines the color of the light, simulating different times of day (e.g., warm for sunrise, cool for midday).
• Intensity: Adjusts the strength or brightness of the light.
• Rotation: Controls the direction the light is pointing, determining where shadows are cast.
