This function sets a world's ambient light level. This is the minimum light level a surface will be rendered with when no other lights are present.

Syntax

• void SetAmbientLight(float l)
• void SetAmbientLight(float r, float g, float b )
• void SetAmbientLight(float r, float g, float b, float a)

Parameters

• i: a uniform light level that will be used for all channels.
• r: red light level.
• g: green light level.
• b: blue light level.
• a: alpha light level (unused).

Example

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

Model* model = NULL;
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
    Leadwerks::Window* window = Leadwerks::Window::Create();
    Context* context = Context::Create(window);
    World* world = World::Create();
    Camera* camera = Camera::Create();
    camera->Turn(35,0,0);
    camera->Move(0,0,-3);

    //Create a directional light with an orange tint
    Light* light = DirectionalLight::Create();
    light->SetRotation(35,45,0);
    light->SetColor(1.5,1.3,0.6);
        
    //Set the ambient light level to dark blue
    world->SetAmbientLight(0.08,0.08,0.18);

    //Create a model
    model = Model::Box();
        
    while (true)
    {
        if (window->Closed() || window->KeyDown(Key::Escape)) return false;
    
        model->Turn(0,Leadwerks::Time::GetSpeed(),0);
        
        Leadwerks::Time::Update();
        world->Update();
        world->Render();
        context->Sync(false);

    }
    return 0;
