The intensity can have values 0-1. If you change the value, you can see the change of the intensity in the model at once.

Shadows

Select whether the light creates shadows or not. Edit the variable values of the shadows by clicking the Values button. You can change three variables: resolution, softness and quality. Select a new value from the list or enter a numeric value in the field. Following numeric values are possible:

• Resolution can have a value between 0 and 2048. With resolution 0 the shadows are sharp.
• Softness can have a value between 0 and 5.5.
• Quality can have a value between 0 and 9.

The best and sharpest image is achieved by using the values Resolution=0, Softness=1 and Quality=9.
