Relative Intensity of Ambient and Directed Light

Rendering

The relation between the intensities of a "Distant" light (the sun) and "Ambient" light determines the contrast between illuminated and shadowed locations in a visualization.

  • Distant light 1.0, Ambient light 0.2

  • Distant light 0.7, Ambient light 0.4

  • Distant light 1.1, Ambient light 0.1
