Radii
The Radii beam type allows you to create spherical facets that ideally diffuse light.
Description
Radii beams create spherical shaped lenses that transmit and spread light. Light goes through the lens and illuminates objects placed in front of it.
With the Radii beam type, a definition of certain parameters is required:
- You need to define the Radius of the facet.
- You need to select an Orientation: concave or convex.
A concave surface is curved inwards.
A convex surface is curved outwards.
