- class DirectionalLight(*args, **kwargs)¶
class counterpart of mel function directionalLight
The directionalLight command is used to edit the parameters of existing directionalLights, or to create new ones. The default behaviour is to create a new directionallight.
- getDiscRadius(**kwargs)¶
radius of the disc around the light
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.directionalLight
- getExclusive(**kwargs)¶
- Derived from mel command maya.cmds.directionalLight
- getRgb(**kwargs)¶
color of the light (0-1)
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.directionalLight
- getShadowAngle()¶
Retrieves the value of the “shadowAngle” attribute of a directional light node. This attribute represents an angular divergence from the direction vector of the light used to calculate soft shadows.
Return type: float Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDirectionalLight.shadowAngle
- getShadowDither(**kwargs)¶
dither the shadow
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.directionalLight
- getShadowSamples(**kwargs)¶
number of shadow samples.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.directionalLight
- getSoftShadow(**kwargs)¶
soft shadow Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.directionalLight
- setDiscRadius(val=True, **kwargs)¶
radius of the disc around the light
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.directionalLight
- setExclusive(val=True, **kwargs)¶
- Derived from mel command maya.cmds.directionalLight
- setRgb(val=True, **kwargs)¶
color of the light (0-1)
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.directionalLight
- setShadowAngle(shadow_angle)¶
Sets the value of the “shadowAngle” attribute of a directional light node.
Parameters: - shadow_angle : float
value to which the attribute will be set.
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDirectionalLight.setShadowAngle
- setShadowDither(val=True, **kwargs)¶
dither the shadow
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.directionalLight
- setShadowSamples(val=True, **kwargs)¶
number of shadow samples.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.directionalLight
- setSoftShadow(val=True, **kwargs)¶
soft shadow Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
