Radii
The Radii beam type allows you to create spherical facets that ideally diffuse light.
Description
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.
Radii is available for Rectangular, Circular, Freestyle grid types.
Rectangular
|
X radius: Radius of the facet along X grid axis. Y radius: Radius of the facet along Y grid axis. |

Circular
|
Start radius: Smallest value of the radius of curvature of the elements along the transverse axis. End radius: Highest value of the radius of curvature of the elements along the transverse axis. Radial radius: Radius of the elements along the radial axis. |

Freestyle
Freestyle Rectangular: Parameters are the same as the ones used for the rectangular type.
Freestyle Circular: Parameters are the same as the ones used for circular type.
