LightOmni Class

Header: #include <UnigineLights.h>
Inherits from: Light

This class is used to create omni directional light sources. It is possible to modulate the light from omni light sources with a texture.

Example#

The following code illustrates how to create an omni light source and set its parameters.

Source code (UnigineScript)
#include <UnigineLights.h>
using namespace Unigine;

/* .. */

// creating an omni light source and setting its color to white, attenuation distance to 10 units
LightOmniPtr light_omni = LightOmni::create(Math::vec4(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f), 10.0f, "");

// setting the name of the light source
light_omni->setName("omni");

// setting position of the light source
light_omni->setWorldPosition(Math::Vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 5.0f));

// setting a texture named "mytexture.tga" for light modulation
projector->setTextureFilePath("mytexture.tga");

// setting light intensity
light_omni->setIntensity(0.1f);

Returns the current length of the capsule-shaped or rectangular light source.

Return value

void setShapeRadius ( float radius ) #

Sets a new radius of the spherical, capsule-shaped or rectangular light source.

Math::vec3 getSize() const#

Returns the current size of the area illuminated by the light source. depending on the shape type, the size varies:
  • If the light is point-shaped, each component of the vector will be equal to the attenuation distance:
    Source code (C++)
    vec3(attenuation_distance)
  • If the light is spherical, each component of the vector will be equal to the attenuation distance + sphere radius:
    Source code (C++)
    vec3(attenuation_distance + sphere_radius)
  • If the light is capsule-shaped, the 1st component of the vector will be equal to attenuation distance + capsule length:
    Source code (C++)
    vec3(attenuation_distance + capsule_length,attenuation_distance,attenuation_distance)
  • If the light is rectangular, the 2nd component of the vector will be equal to attenuation distance + rectangle height:
    Source code (C++)
    vec3(attenuation_distance,attenuation_distance + rectangle_height,attenuation_distance)

Return value

Current size of the illuminated area.

void setTexture ( const const Ptr<Texture> && texture ) #

Sets a new light image texture.

Arguments

  • const const Ptr<Texture> && texture - The texture smart pointer.
