Env ambient light

Entity description

This Entity adds a constant colour value to dark areas of the world without affecting brighter areas. It can be faded in and/or take effect only within a certain radius (meaning that brightness will increase as the camera draws closer, not that there will be a spatial effect).

Note:The ambient term is completely flat, making this entity a poor replacement for static light.
