Description
Could a rectangle type be added to the KHR_lights_punctual extension? Seeing as Unity, Unreal and Blender support rectangular area lights?
Unity: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Lighting.html
Unreal: https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/BuildingWorlds/LightingAndShadows/LightTypes/RectLights/index.html
Blender: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/lights/light_object.html
If not, is there a workaround around this?
