Detailed Description

Environment presents a scene's global rendering parameters.

Note that multiple scenes can each have their own unique Environment.

Authoring Interface:

        Environment {
            field   SFString    shadingModel        ""
            field   SFString    shadowTechnique     ""

            field   MFNode      viewpoints          []
            field   SFString    sceneManagerType    "GENERIC"
            field   SFURL       worldGeometry       ""
        }

Parameters:

	shadingModel	specifies the name of a shading model used to render the scene. Possible values are "FLAT", "GOURAUD" or "PHONG". Default value: "GOURAUD"
	shadowTechnique	specifies the name of the shadow casting technique to be used. Possible values are "SHADOWTYPE_NONE", "SHADOWTYPE_STENCIL_MODULATIVE", "SHADOWTYPE_STENCIL_ADDITIVE", "SHADOWTYPE_TEXTURE_MODULATIVE" Default value: "SHADOWTYPE_NONE"
	particleTimeFactor	specifies a global rate for all particle system rendering. Default value: 1.0
	detailLevel	specifies the geometric representation used to render the scene. Possible values are "SOLID", "POINTS" or "WIREFRAME". Default value: "SOLID"
	lodBias	specifies a global bias for selecting Level of Detail within the scene. Default value: 1.0
	backgroundColor	specifies a background color for the scene. Default value: 0 0 0
	ambientColor	specifies overall ambient color lighting for all objects in the scene. Default value: 0.5 0.5 0.5
	headlight	specifies if a default directional light attached to the camera should be created in the scene. Default value: true
	camera	the current Camera node used in this scene
	viewer	the current Viewer used to navigate this scene
	viewpoints	references to viewpoints in the scene, for use by the Viewer, if it chooses
	worldGeometry	Sets the source of the 'world' geometry, i.e. the large, mainly static geometry making up the world e.g. rooms, landscape etc.
