To
control soft lighting distribution for an area light
The
size and orientation of the area light icon controls the light distribution.
A large area light emits more light. The light can be non-proportionally
scaled to modulate the distribution. The farther away the object
is from the light, the less light is cast onto the object. To adjust
the size and orientation of the light area, see
Show, hide, or resize a light manipulator.
