Applying Lighting Software: Away3D 4.x

Bubby4j, Newbie Posted: 25 February 2012 10:14 PM Total Posts: 5 I’m trying to make lighting work, what material settings do I need? Here’s all of my lighting and material code: `light = new PointLight(); light.x = 15000; light.z = 15000; light.color = 0xFFCC99; light.ambient = 0; light.specular = 1; scene.addChild(light);` and `var material:ColorMaterial = new ColorMaterial(0xFFFFFF); cube = new Mesh(new CubeGeometry(200,100,300),material); view.scene.addChild(cube);` How do I apply the lighting to it, so the side away from the light is dark? Right now it’s just a cube that’s white all over. I’m using Away3D beta, which I downloaded from git yesterday.
kurono, Sr. Member Posted: 25 February 2012 10:25 PM Total Posts: 103 [ # 1 ] Use “LightPicker” to pick the lights you need. `material.lightPicker = new StaticLightPicker([light]); material.diffuseLightSources = LightSources.LIGHTS;` Small of-topic: You can also make your code short & clean, using the “with” statement for your light as follows: `with (light) { x = 15000; z = 15000; color = 0xFFCC99; ambient = 0; specular = 1; }` The same is for material, of course. Cheers!
