Summary	0004279: Ambient light brightens objects inconsistently
Description	If you put two objects beside each other and rotate one of them; the first will appear much darker or brighter than it should under ambient light. This results in some models appearing much brighter in ambient light than they should. There are no theories yet about why this is happening. It affects some models quite strongly, but may not affect certain models at all? It seems to affect all stages of the material--diffuse, specular and normalmap. The effect is not visible in 1.07, but is visible in 2.02, so whatever caused it happened in between those two versions.

rebb 08.06.2016 08:24 reporter ~0008202	Related to hemisphere lighting component of the ambient light shader. Was using object-space "up" direction, but requires world-space "up" to work consistently for differently oriented models.
