Animation: Light Types of Light
- There are five types of light in Max:
- Omni (or point) - casts light in all directions
- directional (distant) - project light along one axis only e.g. sun
- Spot target - casts light from a single point in a cone fashion in the direction of a target
- Spot free - casts light from a single point in a cone fashion in a free direction
- ambient (global) - sets the minimum level of illumination in a scene. It has no direction and does not create highlights or shadows.
