While experimenting with three.js, I stumbled upon an interesting example HERE. In the init function provided in the example (only a snippet is shown here), we see:
function init() {
renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer( { antialias: true } );
renderer.setPixelRatio( window.devicePixelRatio );
renderer.setSize( window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight );
container.appendChild( renderer.domElement );
scene = new THREE.Scene();
camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera( fov, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 1, 1000 );
camera.position.z = 100;
camera.target = new THREE.Vector3();
controls = new THREE.OrbitControls( camera, renderer.domElement );
controls.minDistance = 50;
controls.maxDistance = 200;
scene.add( new THREE.AmbientLight( 0x443333 ) );
var light = new THREE.DirectionalLight( 0xffddcc, 1 );
light.position.set( 1, 0.75, 0.5 );
scene.add( light );
var light = new THREE.DirectionalLight( 0xccccff, 1 );
light.position.set( -1, 0.75, -0.5 );
scene.add( light );
//..... more code
}
In several instances within this code, the line of code:
scene.add( new THREE.AmbientLight( 0x443333 ) );
Raises the question, what does the color value 0x443333 actually represent? This peculiar format is unfamiliar to me. Could someone shed some light on its meaning?
