Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description

Description

Sets the color of the light that reaches every surface equally, from every direction. With only ambient light, objects look flat because nothing is brighter on one side than another. Lights from CreateLight add shading on top of it. The default is 127, 127, 127, a medium gray; 0, 0, 0 leaves unlit parts black.

The example removes the lights from a scene and steps the ambient light from black to white.
