Examples

In a Material

In these examples, one Ambient Light, or Base Light, is used. In the first example, the shader on the test object is a DS Default Material shader with default settings, i.e., Diffuse = white, Ambient = black. Because only Ambient Light is provided, and the DS Default Material brick multiplies the ambient color by the surface color, the surface renders black. In the second example, a simple shader plugs the Ambient value directly into the Surface root brick, and because the surface receives 100% ambient light, the surface renders as white.
