# Objective
add support for light textures (also known as light cookies, light
functions, and light projectors)
## Solution
- add components:
```rs
/// Add to a [`PointLight`] to add a light texture effect.
/// A texture mask is applied to the light source to modulate its intensity,
/// simulating patterns like window shadows, gobo/cookie effects, or soft falloffs.
pub struct PointLightTexture {
/// The texture image. Only the R channel is read.
pub image: Handle<Image>,
/// The cubemap layout. The image should be a packed cubemap in one of the formats described by the [`CubemapLayout`] enum.
pub cubemap_layout: CubemapLayout,
}
/// Add to a [`SpotLight`] to add a light texture effect.
/// A texture mask is applied to the light source to modulate its intensity,
/// simulating patterns like window shadows, gobo/cookie effects, or soft falloffs.
pub struct SpotLightTexture {
/// The texture image. Only the R channel is read.
/// Note the border of the image should be entirely black to avoid leaking light.
pub image: Handle<Image>,
}
/// Add to a [`DirectionalLight`] to add a light texture effect.
/// A texture mask is applied to the light source to modulate its intensity,
/// simulating patterns like window shadows, gobo/cookie effects, or soft falloffs.
pub struct DirectionalLightTexture {
/// The texture image. Only the R channel is read.
pub image: Handle<Image>,
/// Whether to tile the image infinitely, or use only a single tile centered at the light's translation
pub tiled: bool,
}
```
- store images to the `RenderClusteredDecals` buffer
- read the image and modulate the lights
- add `light_textures` example to showcase the new features
