                     String sunTexture,
                     String moonTexture)

Creating new day night cycle

Parameters:

dayTex - Day skybox cube map texture

dayColor - Color of the Sun and fog at day

eveTex - Evening skybox cube map texture

eveColor - Color of the Sun and fog at evening

nigTex - Night skybox cube map texture

nigColor - Color of the Sun and fog at night

sunTexture - TextureData of the sun

moonTexture - TextureData of the moon

Method Detail

onUpdate

public void onUpdate()

Description copied from class: GameObject

This method gets called every frame before the render method. Here is place for the GameObject logic updates, e.g. input handling, physics, actions, ...

Overrides:

onUpdate in class GameObject

onRender

public void onRender()

Description copied from class: GameObject

In this method the GameObject gets rendered onto the screen (if it has an graphical representation). Its primary used for MasterRenderer calls.

Overrides:

onRender in class GameObject

getCaps

public javax.vecmath.Vector4f getCaps()

Getting read/writeable vec4f with the day/night caps. The values are between 0.0f and 1.0f.
X value = Lower day
Y value = Upper evening
Z value = Lower evening
W value = Upper night

Returns:

Read/writeable vec4f with the day/night caps

getSun

public Sun getSun()

Returns:

Read/Writeable sun of the day night cycle

getMoon

public Moon getMoon()

Returns:

Read/Writeable moon of the day night cycle

getFog

public FogEffect getFog()

Returns:

Read/Writeable fog of the day night cycle

getSkybox

public Skybox getSkybox()

Returns:

Read/Writeable skybox of the day night cycle

setSpeed

public void setSpeed(float Speed)

Parameters:

Speed - New movement speed of the sun

setCenter

public void setCenter(javax.vecmath.Vector3f center)

Setting the center of the sun cycle. It makes sense to set this to the camera position, sothe sun rotates around the camera.

Parameters:

center - Center position to rotate around

getCenter

public javax.vecmath.Vector3f getCenter()

Returns:

Write/readable center of the sun as 3d vector

isDay

public boolean isDay()

Returns:

Is currently day or night
