Field Shadows

Method

This node lights and shades a field from above and is used in conjunction with Field Renderer. As the lighting direction is limited to this one direction, this node is significantly faster than the similar Field Lighting node which allows multiple light sources with arbitrary positions and orientations.

The node should be parented to a Field Root node.

Example

Rotation Pitch Rotate the object about the x-axis.
Rotation Bank Rotate the object about the z-axis.
Scale X Scale along the x-axis.
Scale Y Scale along the y-axis.
Scale Z Scale along the z-axis.
