Claim 15:
16. A computing device, comprising:
a memory; and
a processing unit for executing instructions stored in the memory for performing the following steps:
receiving, by an ambient lighting engine, a first base graphics component;
receiving, by the ambient lighting engine, a second base graphics component;
performing a lighting transformation, by the ambient lighting engine, of a first pixel in the first base graphics component using a first ambient source indicating ambient colors light surrounding the first pixel in one or more of the x, y, and z coordinate directions to generate a first ambient-lit graphics component;
displaying the first ambient-lit graphics component on a display of a computing device;
after the first ambient-lit graphics component has been generated, performing a lighting transformation, by the ambient lighting engine, of a second pixel in the second base graphics component using a second ambient source indicating ambient colors surrounding the second pixel in one or more of x, y, and z coordinate directions to generate a second ambient-lit graphics component; and
displaying the second ambient-lit graphics component on a display of a computing device.
