Removing Qt3D's default point light

njbrown

By default, qt3d adds a point light to your scene.

When i add at least one light in a scene, it renders fine:

However, when i remove all lights, qt3d adds one in the middle of the scene.

Is there any way that i can remove this light?

Thanks in advance.

Qt3D add a light is the list of ligth is empty:

                if (activeLightSources.isEmpty()) {
                    setUniformValue(command->m_parameterPack, LIGHT_POSITION_NAMES[0], QVector3D(10.0f, 10.0f, 0.0f));
                    setUniformValue(command->m_parameterPack, LIGHT_TYPE_NAMES[0], int(QAbstractLight::PointLight));
                    setUniformValue(command->m_parameterPack, LIGHT_COLOR_NAMES[0], QVector3D(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f));
                    setUniformValue(command->m_parameterPack, LIGHT_INTENSITY_NAMES[0], 0.5f);
                }

But, you can add a light with an intensity of zero to override the default light.

I was trying to avoid doing that, but if it's the only way then i guess i'll just have to.

Thanks.

We can discuss removing the default point light. I think the reason it was added was that you would still have some light effect even if you forget to set a light. Obviously that may not be what everyone wants.
