Model3D object that represents lighting applied to a 3-D scene.
Namespace:
System.Windows.Media.Media3D
Assembly:
PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public MustInherit Class Light _
Inherits Model3D
public abstract class Light : Model3D
public ref class Light abstract : public Model3D
public abstract class Light extends Model3D
This class is abstract; see Inheritance Hierarchy for derived non-abstract classes usable in XAML.
Because lights are models themselves, you can apply transformations and animations to them, just as with other models.
The following excerpts show examples of two Light types, DirectionalLight and AmbientLight.
