An ambient light source object. Ambient light is that light that seems to come from all directions. The AmbientLight object has the same attributes as a Light node, including color, influencing bounds, scopes, and a flag indicating whether this light source is on or off. Ambient reflections do not depend on the orientation or position of a surface. Ambient light has only an ambient reflection component. It does not have diffuse or specular reflection components.
