X3D Example Archives: Conformance Nist, Lights, Point Light

 

PointLight is a single light source that illuminates outwards in all directions. Lighting illuminates all geometry except lines and points. By default, light scope only illuminates peer geometry and children nodes within the scene graph hierarchy. Lights have no visible shape themselves and lighting effects continue through any intermediate geometry. Hint: The bound NavigationInfo controls whether headlight is enabled on/off.

   default_complexpl default complexpl Test browser to apply default values of a PointLight node to complex geometry (ElevationGrid, Extrusion, and IndexedFaceSet). The test should generate all three complex geometry with the default color. IndexedLineSet and PointSet are not lit geometry, therefore are not part of this test.
   default_primitivespl default primitivespl Test browser to apply all the default values of a PointLight node to simple geometry (cone, sphere, cylinder, box). A row containing all four simple geometry is drawn in the local coordinate system and a PointLight node is defined at the beggining of the test. All figures should be illuminated with white light.
   test_ambeffect_ambientcom test ambeffect ambientcom This test addresses the effect of the PointLight ambientIntensity on the ambient of a complex object (IndexedFaceSet). Two IndexedFaceSets are drawn in the local coordinate system and a PointLight is defined to shine on them along the -Z axis. The IndexedFaceSet to the left contains an ambientIntensity 0.3 and the one to the right contains an initial ambientIntensity of 1. The ambientIntensity of the light is increased on both geometry as the animation progresses. Since both materials ambientIntensity are constants, at the end of the animation the one to the right will be brigther than the one to the left. This is because at the end of the animation the figure to the right will have maximum ambient (both material and light ambientIntensity will be 1)
   test_ambeffect_ambientsim test ambeffect ambientsim This test addresses the effect of the PointLight ambientIntensity on the ambient of a simple object (Sphere).

Since both materials ambientIntensity are constants, at the end of the animation the one to the right will be brigther than the one to the left.
