# This is an example scene description file. Follow the format below. There
# can only be one camera per scene, but there can be any number of lights or
# shapes like spheres and planes. Comments must begin with a # AND a space. 

# Format for lights is: light color position
light (0.7, 0.7, 0.7) <-10.0, 10.0, 5.0>
light (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) <10.0, 10.0, 5.0>

# Format for spotlights is: spotlight color position look_at_position angle 
# spotlight (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) <5.0, 5.0, 3.0> <0.0, 0.0, 0.0> 0.4

# Format for area lights is:
# arealight color center surface_normal up_direction horizontal_spacing
# vertical_spacing width height

# arealight (0.9, 0.9, 0.9) <0.0, 2.0, 1.0> <0, -1, 0> <1, 0, 0> 
# 0.05 0.05 0.7 0.7

# format for spheres is: sphere color radius center
sphere (1, 0, 0) 0.8 <-1.7, 0.8, 1.0> 0.5
sphere (0, 0, 1) 0.8 <1.7, 0.8, 1.5> 0.5

# Format for planes is: plane color distance_from_origin surface_normal
plane  (0.9, 0.9, 0.9) 0 <0.0, 0.1, 0.0> 0.15

# Format for cylinders: cylinder color radius center axis height reflectivity
# cylinder (0, 1.0, 0) 0.3 <0.0, 0.5, 0.0> <0.0, 1.0, 0.0> 1.0 0.5

# Format for cameras is: camera position look_at_this_position up_direction
