Lighting a cloned j3o

Im just experimenting here, so dont judge my method lol!

I have used a for loop to populate a small 40x40 area with 20 1x1 textured .j3o meshes. Some are ‘lit up’, and some are not. There is no obvious pattern to which are lit. If a directional light works how I think it works, then all of them should be lit on the same side, and dark on the other. This is not the case. I suspect [Spatial].clone() has something to do with it.

ninja edit : After staring at this for a bit longer, I bet I know whats going on. Cloning creates a copy, shading included. Am I on the right track?

[java]

Spatial flower = assetManager.loadModel(“Models/test1.j3o”);//newly working! GJ JME team! :slight_smile:

for(int a = 0; a < 20; a++) {

Spatial f2 = flower.clone();

float sca = (float)Math.random() +.25f;

f2.scale(sca, sca, sca);

f2.rotate(0f, (float)Math.random() * (float)Math.PI, 0f);

f2.setLocalTranslation((float) Math.random() * 40f - 20f, 1f, (float) Math.random() * 40f - 20f);

rootNode.attachChild(f2);

}

//no difference whether ambient is here or not :

AmbientLight ambient = new AmbientLight();

ambient.setColor(ColorRGBA.White.mult(3f));

rootNode.addLight(ambient);

DirectionalLight sun = new DirectionalLight();

sun.setDirection(new Vector3f(-0.1f, -0.7f, -1.0f).normalizeLocal());

rootNode.addLight(sun);

[/java]

I made some changes in SVN. I noticed it fixed weird lighting in your test case so I hope that was it

Sorry, no dice. :frowning:

Ive tried it with the .obj version and the .j3o version of the same mesh. Same results.



Ive tried it with ambient and no ambient.

Not a huge issue at this time, just a minor mystery.

I tried the material file you provided and it still works for me.

Can you provide the j3o file?
