Helper structure to describe a light source.
Assimp supports multiple sorts of light sources, including directional, point and spot lights. All of them are defined with just a single structure and distinguished by their parameters. Note - some file formats (such as 3DS, ASE) export a "target point" - the point a spot light is looking at (it can even be animated). Assimp writes the target point as a subnode of a spotlights's main node, called "<spotName>.Target". However, this is just additional information then, the transformation tracks of the main node make the spot light already point in the right direction.

float aiLight::mAngleInnerCone |
Inner angle of a spot light's light cone.
The spot light has maximum influence on objects inside this angle. The angle is given in radians. It is 2PI for point lights and undefined for directional lights.
float aiLight::mAngleOuterCone |
Outer angle of a spot light's light cone.
The spot light does not affect objects outside this angle. The angle is given in radians. It is 2PI for point lights and undefined for directional lights. The outer angle must be greater than or equal to the inner angle. It is assumed that the application uses a smooth interpolation between the inner and the outer cone of the spot light.
Constant light attenuation factor.
The intensity of the light source at a given distance 'd' from the light's position is
Atten = 1/( att0 + att1 * d + att2 * d*d)
This member corresponds to the att0 variable in the equation. Naturally undefined for directional lights.
Linear light attenuation factor.
The intensity of the light source at a given distance 'd' from the light's position is
Atten = 1/( att0 + att1 * d + att2 * d*d)
This member corresponds to the att1 variable in the equation. Naturally undefined for directional lights.
Quadratic light attenuation factor.
The intensity of the light source at a given distance 'd' from the light's position is
Atten = 1/( att0 + att1 * d + att2 * d*d)
This member corresponds to the att2 variable in the equation. Naturally undefined for directional lights.
Ambient color of the light source.
The ambient light color is multiplied with the ambient material color to obtain the final color that contributes to the ambient shading term. Most renderers will ignore this value it, is just a remaining of the fixed-function pipeline that is still supported by quite many file formats.
Diffuse color of the light source.
The diffuse light color is multiplied with the diffuse material color to obtain the final color that contributes to the diffuse shading term.
Specular color of the light source.
The specular light color is multiplied with the specular material color to obtain the final color that contributes to the specular shading term.
Direction of the light source in space.
Relative to the transformation of the node corresponding to the light.
The direction is undefined for point lights. The vector may be normalized, but it needn't.
The name of the light source.
There must be a node in the scenegraph with the same name. This node specifies the position of the light in the scene hierarchy and can be animated.
Position of the light source in space.
Relative to the transformation of the node corresponding to the light.
The position is undefined for directional lights.
The type of the light source.
aiLightSource_UNDEFINED is not a valid value for this member.
