All Implemented Interfaces:

Light

public class DirectionalAmbientLight
extends AmbientLight

A DirectionAmbientLight object represents an ambient light source that always comes from a particular direction. The direction is a vector that represents the direction from which the light enters the scene. By default the light comes from the top, parallel to the yz plane.
