Set background colour in P5SunflowAPIAPI?

in Contributed Library Questions • 2 years ago

Hi all,

I've been playing with the P5SunflowAPIAPI library, with some early success. One thing I'm really having trouble with is setting a background colour- everything I render is coming out with a black background. Looking at the docs would suggest that sunflow.setBackground(255, 255, 255); ought to set the background colour to white, but it's not working! Any thoughts would be appreciated.

p.s. I'm using the P5SunflowAPIAPI library rather than the SunflowAPIAPI Java wrapper.

Unlike SunflowApiApi the library P5SunflowApiApi automatically transfers stuff from Processing to Sunflow. For example it should automatically transfer your regular Processing background call into Sunflow. Try commenting out the line...

sunflow.setSunSkyLight("mySunskyLight");

...and see if the regular background color shows up (without the need to setBackground).

Aha! That does work, although I need to rework the general lighting. Thanks!

Thanks also for your blog post on the subject which is really inspiring!
