Lighting Properties#
Control aspects of the rendered mesh’s lighting such as Ambient, Diffuse,
and Specular. These options only work if the lighting
argument to
add_mesh
is True
(it’s True
by default).
You can turn off all lighting for the given mesh by passing lighting=False
to add_mesh
.
See the add_mesh
docs for lighting options:
https://docs.pyvista.org/api/plotting/_autosummary/pyvista.Plotter.add_mesh.html
First, lets take a look at the mesh with default lighting conditions
What about with no lighting?
Demonstration of the specular property
Feel free to adjust the specular value in the s
variable.
p = pv.Plotter(shape=(1, 2), window_size=[1500, 500])
p.subplot(0, 0)
p.add_mesh(mesh, show_scalar_bar=False)
p.add_text("No Specular")
p.subplot(0, 1)
specular = 1.0
p.add_mesh(mesh, specular=specular, show_scalar_bar=False)
p.add_text(f"Specular of {specular}")
p.link_views()
p.view_isometric()
p.show(cpos=cpos)
Specular power (feel free to adjust)
Demonstration of all diffuse, specular, and ambient in use together (feel free to adjust)
