A point light is a type of light source in computer graphics, 3D rendering, and computer-aided design that emits light from a single point in all directions. Unlike a spotlight, which emits light in a specific direction, a point light radiates light uniformly in a spherical pattern from its location. This means that the intensity of the light diminishes with distance from the light source.

How does the Point Light Work?

A point light works by emitting light uniformly in all directions from a single point in space. It is a fundamental component in computer graphics and 3D rendering, contributing to the realistic simulation of lighting conditions in virtual environments.

How do you add a Point light to the 3D scene?

1. Click on the Add elements button in the top left corner
2. On the pop up hover over the “basic” section to open another pop up
3. On the new pop up you should see a lights section
4. Click on the “point light” element to add it to the 3D scene.
