Ambient Light Properties
Ambient light illuminates the model evenly from all directions. You
can modify the intensity and color of ambient light. You can turn the
Ambient light on or off, but you
cannot delete it or add additional Ambient
lights.
To modify properties of Ambient light:
In the FeatureManager design tree, click 
to expand Lights, Cameras
and Scene 
.
Right-click Ambient
and select Properties.
In the PropertyManager, set the following options,
then click 
.
Basic
On/Off
. Switches the light off or on in the model.
Edit
Color.
Displays the Color palette, so
you can select colored light rather than the default white light.
Ambient
. Controls the intensity of the light source. Move the
slider or type a value between 0
and 1. A higher value results
in more light. The level changes equally on all sides of the model.
The results vary widely.
They depend on multiple combinations, including the color of the model,
the degree of ambience (intensity), as well as the color of the light.
For example, changing the color of the ambient light produces more noticeable
results with high ambience than with low ambience.
