In World of Warcraft, the DayNight system governs most of the general appearance of the world.
Things like area lighting, zone lighting, clouds, the sky sphere (ie the color gradient of the sky), stars (ie sky boxes) are all managed by DayNight.
DayNight::DarkenColor
CImVector DayNight::DarkenColor(CImVector const &clr, float amount) {
C3Vector rgb;
C3Vector hsv;
rgb.x = clr->r / 255.0;
rgb.y = clr->g / 255.0;
rgb.z = clr->b / 255.0;
hsv.x = 0.0;
hsv.y = 0.0;
hsv.z = 0.0;
RGBtoHSV(&rgb, &hsv);
hsv.z = hsv.z * amount;
HSVtoRGB(&hsv, &rgb);
CImVector result;
CImVector::operator=(&result, &rgb);
return result;
}
DayNight::SetDirection
DayNight::SetDirection calculates a C3Vector containing the direction vector for the global light, aka sunDir.
This direction vector is transformed by the view matrix prior to being uploaded to the shader.
