Creation method#

There are two options for creating a Directional Light node.#

  • The first way to create a Directional Light node is using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need or words associated with this node.
    • directional, light
  • The second way is to select a Directional Light node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Light > Directional Light

Steps#

  • Create a Directional Light node.
  • Connect the light color to the first port.
  • Connect the light intensity to the second port.
  • Connect the light position to the third port.
  • Connect the target position to the fourth port.
  • Connect the shadow toggle (castShadow) to the fifth port.

After creating the node, connect the light color to the first port, intensity to the second port, position to the third port, target to the fourth port, and shadow toggle to the fifth port. On the output port, you will receive the resulting directional light object.
