3ds max Lighting Controlling spotlight parameters And we can demonstrate that if we rotate the light. Grab the rotate tool and tilt it down, and then reframe our shot so that we can see some shadows. And enclose on those shadows, and take a look in the active shade window. So that is with a disc radius of something like 40 centimeters. Let's set that radius down to one centimeter and now we've got hard shadows. Alright. Put that up to , let's say, 20 centimeters. Now, we can talk about the hotspot and falloff values. I'll dolly back, reframe the shot, and with that light selected go back into it's modified panel. And we have some special parameters for the spotlight distribution. Scrolling back up to near the top of the modified panel. We've got distribution spotlight rollout. And here we have hotspot and falloff. And these are angular values that determine the softness of the light
