PointLight
This object allows you to add colored point lights to your projects.
If the light is linked to an object in the Object List, the object will become
the light parent. Run-time, when the parent moves and rotates, the PointLight will
follow it, keeping it's relative position as you set it in the Virtual Editor.
IMPORTANT: like other special rendering effects, point lights will only affect
SkinMesh objects in the scene.
They may also illuminate other object types (like a non-SkinMesh-based terrain)
but this isn't always guaranteed.
Note that each SkinMesh object can be illuminated by no more than 4 lights simultaneously.
If more PointLights are within range, their light will not affect the SkinMesh surface.
Also note that point lights don't currently support volumetric shadows.
Light color & range.
Click the color button to open the color picker.
The bigger the range factor, the longer the distance reached by the point light.
IMPORTANT: point lights with a small range may fail to illuminate surfaces that
are made of big polygons, like for example a terrain.
