Sample Code

Example code for the id LIGHT_VLTYPE in Olight

Note that this is not the actual code from the Olight file.

LONG  LIGHT_VLTYPE
{
                        
    CYCLE 
    {         LIGHT_VLTYPE_NONE; 
        LIGHT_VLTYPE_VISIBLE; 
        LIGHT_VLTYPE_VOLUMETRIC; 
        LIGHT_VLTYPE_INVERSEVOLUMETRIC; 
    }
}
