package X3dForWebAuthors.Chapter11LightingEnvironmentalEffects

Chapter 11 Lighting and Environmental Effects: Light nodes make the appearance of geometry visible and viewable in a scene. Lighting nodes include DirectionalLight, PointLight, SpotLight, and the active NavigationInfo headlight (which points along the user's viewing direction).

Environmental effects include Background, TextureBackground, Fog and LocalFog. Each set of light nodes, NavigationInfo nodes, background nodes and fog nodes are bound on a separate binding stack, meaning that only one of each can be active at a time.

The X3D Java Scene Access Interface (x3djsail) package provides concrete classes for each X3D node and statement.
