ambient text

Purpose
To change or display the diffuse ambient color for the current attribute in a numeric way.

Usage
See color text on how to use it.

Comments
The diffuse ambient color determines the minimum amount of color for an object, which means the color the object would have if there were no light sources present. The default color for the diffuse ambient color is black. In most cases, a grey or dark grey color will give a more realistic appearance than black. If the diffuse ambient color is darker than the diffuse color, the result will be more natural. Any 2d or 3d color map may be entered in response to the prompt instead of a single color.
