Enable – Enables or disables the hot/dark spot.

Spots Mode – Specifies how the hot/dark spot is applied.

Hot Spot – Color is added to the texture, adding brightness and creating a hot spot.
Dark Spot – Color is subtracted from the texture, removing brightness and creating a dark spot.

Softness – Controls the rate at which the hot spot fades out.

Inner Radius – Specifies the inner radius where the hot spot begins to fade out as a fraction of the texture size.

Outer Radius – Specifies the outer radius where the hot spot ends as a fraction of the texture size.

Spots Multiplier – A multiplier for the brightness of the hot/dark spot.

U/V Offset – Controls the position of the spots along the U or V axis.

U/V Tiling – When enabled, controls the tiling of the spots along the U or V axis.

Spots Tint On – Enables the tint color for the spots.

Spots Tint Color – When enabled, controls the color of the hot spot.

Spots Tint Strength – A multiplier that controls how strong the strength of the Tint Color parameter.
