Hi guys,

I’ve seen some cool lighting effects in the particle tutorials sections but i can’t seem to be able to make one of my own.

What i’m trying to do is use a background image on my Mobile app and use some lights that would move on the background.

I can’t figure out how to do this; i saw that LightPoint is only used in combination with different other objects, such as materials.

here’s how i added the background image:

[Embed(source=”/assets/bg.jpg”)]
  public var BackImg:Class;

var bmd:BitmapData = new BackImg().bitmapData;
  _view.background = new BitmapTexture(bmd);
 
  addChild(_view);

Is there any way i could make some live light effects on the backgorund?

Thanks a lot!

View3D’s background can’t be lighted.
You have to make a Sprite3D that has LightPicker in Scene3D in View3D.
And set a Camera3D position to front of the Sprite3D.

I think that you need learning more about basis of Away3D.
