Method Detail

addToWorld

public void addToWorld(VehicleWorld world)

Add this Sky to the specified world. The class must first be initialized.

Parameters:

world - where to add (not null)

getCgm

public final com.jme3.scene.Spatial getCgm()

Access the C-G model.

Returns:

the pre-existing Spatial, or null if not yet loaded

initialize

public static void initialize()

Add lights and shadows to the scene. Should only be invoked once, after setApplication() but before addToWorld().

removeFromWorld

public void removeFromWorld()

Remove this Sky from the world to which it was added.

setApplication

public static void setApplication(com.jme3.app.SimpleApplication application)

Specify the application instance. Can only be invoked once.

Parameters:

application - the application instance (not null, alias created)

build

protected final void build(com.jme3.scene.Spatial cgmRoot,
                           com.jme3.light.LightProbe probe)

Configure the loaded C-G model and LightProbe.

Parameters:

cgmRoot - the root of the desired model (not null)

probe - the desired LightProbe (not null)

createSky

protected static com.jme3.scene.Spatial createSky(com.jme3.asset.AssetManager assetManager,
                                                  java.lang.String textureAssetPath)

Generate a sky geometry from an equirectangular texture asset. This method has a couple advantages over com.jme3.util.SkyFactory.createSky(AssetManager, Texture, EnvMapType):

• It adds fewer triangles to the scene: 32 instead of 160.
• It uses a custom J3MD to avoid JME issue #1414.

Parameters:

assetManager - for loading assets (not null)

textureAssetPath - the path to the texture asset (not null, not empty)

Returns:

a new orphan Geometry

getAmbientLight

protected final com.jme3.light.AmbientLight getAmbientLight()

Access the AmbientLight that was added by initialize(), used to modulate the color/intensity of light probes.

Returns:

the pre-existing instance (not null)

getApplication

protected final com.jme3.app.SimpleApplication getApplication()

Access the application instance.

Returns:

the pre-existing instance (not null)

getDirectionalLight

protected final com.jme3.light.DirectionalLight getDirectionalLight()

Access the DirectionalLight that was added by initialize().

Returns:

the pre-existing instance (not null)

getShadowRenderer

protected final com.jme3.shadow.DirectionalLightShadowRenderer getShadowRenderer()

Access the shadow renderer that was added by initialize().

Returns:

the pre-existing instance (not null)

load

public void load(com.jme3.asset.AssetManager assetManager)

Load this Sky from assets.

Specified by:

load in interface jme3utilities.Loadable

Parameters:

assetManager - for loading assets (not null)
