Out of the box: Add your light but then all of the position (and
property) values have to be multiplied by *this.world.precision
variable. ShadingColorMaterial is the only one that is currently
implemented, so if the lights intensity isn't high enough you'll just
see a black object... you also have to set the specular, and diffusion
(i think one more as well) on the material. Like this
[code]
var aLight : PointLight3D = new PointLight3D({ x:worldPrescision(10),
y:worldPrescision(100), z: worldPrescision(-600),
brightness:worldPrescision(5), ambient:worldPrescision(30),
diffuse:worldPrescision(500), specular:worldPrescision(180) });
this.world.worldView.scene.addChild(aLight);
[/code]
You then do the material setup in Maya.
