AmbientLight

Represents a light that emits evenly in all directions.

An ambient light contributes a constant illumination to all objects in the scene, regardless of their position or orientation. It does not have a defined direction and therefore cannot cast shadows.

Ambient lighting is typically used to simulate indirect or global illumination and to prevent completely unlit regions in the scene.

auto ambient = vglx::AmbientLight::Create({
  .color = 0xFFFFFF,
  .intensity = 0.3f
});
