# AmbientLight red#,green#,blue#

# Parameters

red# - red ambient light value green# - green ambient light value blue# - blue ambient light value The green, red and blue values should be in the range 0-255. The default ambient light colour is 127,127,127.

# Description

Sets the ambient lighting colour.
Ambient light is a light source that affects all points on a 3D object equally. So with ambient light only, all 3D objects will appear flat, as there will be no shading.
Ambient light is useful for providing a certain level of light, before adding other lights to provide a realistic lighting effect.
An ambient light level of 0,0,0 will result in no ambient light being displayed.
