Chapter 528: ColorEnvironment

Core Idea

This class represents a scene with a uniform color that can be used as input for PMREMGenerator#fromScene. The resulting PMREM represents uniform ambient lighting and can be used for Image Based Lighting by assigning it to Scene#environment.

Code Examples

const environment = new ColorEnvironment( 0x00ff00 );
const pmremGenerator = new THREE.PMREMGenerator( renderer );
const envMap = pmremGenerator.fromScene( environment ).texture;
scene.environment = envMap;
