Albatross 3D - Lights

Lights Toolbox. Only one light can be selected at a time. There is 2 kinds of lights: the point lights and the spot lights. The point lights illuminate in all directions. They are drawn with a star. The spot lights illuminate mainly in one direction, and a illumination cone is defined. They are drawn with a star and an arrow. Both kinds of lights can have fade parameters so that the light intensity decreases with distance. The color and the distance are also parameters of both types.
