Detailed Description

Describes a default light.

An array of these default lights is passed into the method Renderer::Open().

Note: In 3ds Max 3.0 the production renderer has been modified so that if a DefaultLight is passed into Renderer::Open() with a transformation matrix that is all zeros, the renderer will interpret this to mean that on each frame it should create a light located at the view point, pointing in the view direction. This allows the implementation of the new viewport 1-light option so that it tracks the camera during an animated camera move.
