Property Value

System.Single
Value that indicates the decrease in illumination.
This property is read/write.

Remarks

The effect of falloff, the light attenuation between a spotlight's inner and outer cones, on the lighting is subtle. Furthermore, a small performance penalty is incurred by shaping the falloff curve. For these reasons, most developers set this value to 1.0.

Exceptions

InvalidCallException The property value is invalid.
