BabylonJS - Ambient

Quiz

Here, the ambient color is the scene ambient color. To apply ambient color to the material, you need to have ambientColor to the scene.

For example, scene.ambientColor = new BABYLON.Color3(0.3, 0.3, 0.3);

Syntax

Consider the following example related to the AmbientColor.

materialforbox.ambientColor = new BABYLON.Color3(1, 0, 0.2);

         var scene = createScene();
         engine.runRenderLoop(function() {
            scene.render();
         });
      </script>
   </body>

Output

The above line of code generates the following output −

Ambient Texture

To apply ambient texture, you need an image.

We have used image called nature.jpg and stored in images/ folder and using locally. You can download any image of your choice and use for the texture.

Syntax

materialforbox.ambientTexture = new BABYLON.Texture("images/nature.jpg", scene);
