Removing Light/Ambience from the Sun

by Joshua Halls (Xerves) · in Torque 3D Professional · 10/07/2009 (7:48 pm) · 4 replies

Someone brought this up and it is a good question. If I wanted to create something as a dts and then have it "cancel" out the light from the sun and the ambience changes is there a way to do that short of removing the sun? I knew you could with DIFs before and perhaps you still can.

    This seems like it would be a job for zones. I don't know if they do that or not, but it seems like it may be good functionality. Custom ambient/vector inside a zone?

    Meshes do have a custom ambient specified but I'm not certain it's working.

    Would imagine having some option in the zone to turn this on/off would be beneficial (options are always the best). Same thing not to occlude the sky would be beneficial as well.

    At least deals with the dts file.
