The Characteristics of Rectangular Light<br />
Rectangular Light plays a very important role in V-<strong>Ray</strong>. Despite its easy of use, it also gets a<br />
smoother final result. Unlike the Spot Light, Rectangular Light doesn't have the worry about the<br />
angle of the light. It also allows reflective material to bounce the light around the scene. Other<br />
type of lights will not be seen in a reflective object. Below are some important characters about<br />
Rectangular Light.<br />
Size does matter<br />
See images below and you will find the size of the Rectangular Light has an affect its intensity.<br />
Shadow changes according to the size.<br />
Larger Rectangular Light spreads out to a larger area, so the shadow is not as clear as you will get<br />
from a smaller Rectangular Light.<br />
Compare images below and you will see the differences between two different light sizes. The<br />
one on the left is rendered with smaller light.<br />
If you want to have a stronger shadow, we do not recommend you set the intensity way high and<br />
make the light size really small. It's better to use a different light type in V-<strong>Ray</strong>. Please see<br />
dialogue box of how to create a Parallel Light later.<br />
