Hello all.
I'm having issues with lighting. I just finished building a model in AC3D (my first one, in both AC3D and ever, so who knows where the real problem is), and am using the loaders from New Dawn Software (http://www.newdawnsoftware.com). I've tried both Java3D and Xith3D. In both situations the scene is completely dark (in Xith3D you can see the outline against the dark gray background, but in Java3D it is completely black). I added a DirectionalLight to the scene and that caused everything to show up, but the shading on the objects changes depending on the viewing angle. If I look straight down on the object (down the y axis) the scene is very faded. What I would like to do is have a constant light source, so all objects are lit. Additionally I would like the light to be constant no matter the viewing angle. I'd like the textures images to be their natural luminance (as if viewed in a graphics viewer) at all times. Can anyone help me figure this one out? Is there something I can do in AC3D (I'd prefer) that will cause Java3D/Xiph to not try to apply lighting? In not, what can I add to the scenegraph to handle a constant lighting scheme?
Thanks again!
Nick
