84                @brief Sets the attenuation parameters of the light source i.e. how it diminishes with distance.
85                @param attenuation The parameters of the attenuation (see description)
86
87                 - @a attenuation.x range (The absolute upper range of the light in world units)
88                 - @a attenuation.y constant (The constant factor in the attenuation formula: 1.0 means never attenuate, 0.0 is complete attenuation)
89                 - @a attenuation.z linear (The linear factor in the attenuation formula: 1 means attenuate evenly over the distance)
90                 - @a attenuation.w quadratic (The quadratic factor in the attenuation formula: adds a curvature to the attenuation formula)
91
92                Quote from the Ogre API:
93                Lights normally get fainter the further they are away. Also, each light is given a maximum range beyond which it cannot affect any objects.
94                Light attenuation is not applicable to directional lights since they have an infinite range and constant intensity.
95                This follows a standard attenuation approach - see any good 3D text for the details of what they mean since i don't have room here!
96
97                Quote from the Ogre wiki:
98                "Using these numbers, the light has 100% intensity at 0 distance, and
99                trails off to near black at a distance equal to the Range. Keep in mind
100                that most of the light falls in the first 20% of the range."
