LIGHT OBJECT: Point Light

A Point Light is an infinitely small point in space that evenly emits light in all directions. Sometimes called omnidirectional lights, they closely simulate what an uncovered light bulb does in the real world. It is the easiest light to setup/place in a scene, but it is also the least customizable.

Pros:

• Fills entire areas with light
• Attenuation allows for appropriate falloff
• Very easy to place it and go

Cons:

• Wasted rays
• Not very customizable
