rprContextCreateEnvironmentLight

Creates an environment light source.

Environment lights are a class of their own, providing a way to emulate radiance coming from the full hemisphere. It is advisable to use full HDR images for this purpose, as these images most accurately represent the dynamic range of environment lighting.

rpr_status rprContextCreateEnvironmentLight(	rpr_context context,
	rpr_light * out_light);

Parameters

Parameter	Description
context	The context to which the environment light will be added.
out_light	A pointer to the created directional light object.

Output

A pointer to a directional light object.

Return
