Detailed Description

Base class for sky lights (sun and moon).

Contains a directional light which can be automatically disabled when too dim.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ BaseSkyLight()

Caelum::BaseSkyLight::BaseSkyLight ( Ogre::SceneManager sceneMgr,
Ogre::SceneNode caelumRootNode 
)

Constructor.

Parameters
sceneMgrThe scene manager where the lights will be created.
caelumRootNodeRoot node to attach to. Should be bound to the camera.

Member Function Documentation

◆ update()

virtual void Caelum::BaseSkyLight::update ( const Ogre::Vector3 direction,
const Ogre::ColourValue lightColour,
const Ogre::ColourValue bodyColour 
)
virtual

Updates skylight parameters.

Parameters
directionLight direction.
lightColourColor for the light source
bodyColourColor to draw the body of the light (whatever that is).

◆ setAutoDisable()

void Caelum::BaseSkyLight::setAutoDisable ( bool  value)
inline

Turn on and off auto-disabling of the light when too dim.

This is off by default. If you set it to true you probably also want to set the autoDisableThreshold. The "intensity" of the light for the threshold is calculated as the plain sum of r, g and b.

◆ shouldEnableLight()

bool Caelum::BaseSkyLight::shouldEnableLight ( const Ogre::ColourValue colour)
protected

If the light should be enabled for a certain value.

This functions takes AutoDisable and such into account.

Member Data Documentation

◆ mAmbientMultiplier

Ogre::ColourValue Caelum::BaseSkyLight::mAmbientMultiplier
protected

Colour multiplier for ambient light colour.

No effect, this value is only stored here.
