Abstract
An ambient lighting engine and an ambient lighting method are disclosed. A base graphics component is transformed into an ambient-lit graphics component based on ambient color values determined along multiple axes in 3D space. The ambient color values can be calculated in real-time. Optionally, the calculated ambient color values can be associated with a location in 3D space and cached for usage at a later time for pixels at or near that same location.
