Hello again

I tried doing the object light thing and rotate the light instead of the normals. I really like that idea, I dont know why it isnt written in ny of these tutorials. So I tried doing it and it didn''t work exactly right. First off it was way off, so then I tried doing teh inverse matrix of teh obhjects transformation matrix for the light source transform (Inverse is just switching columns and rows right?)

So it KINDA works, but it''s still off, especially when the torus is facing completely away from the viewer.

I made a new zip with exe and CODE. Dont get too excited, i didnt throw in ALL the code to compile it, just the necessary code files that actually have anything to do with this project.

Click Here for the latest zip and code. Hope someone could help me out

thanks again guys.

PS - so what do yuo think of that linked list idea now that I''ve explained it a little more, still no good? I wanna know 3d peeps'' thoughts before i do it

Well I''m not planning on selling this or distributing this code in any way whatsoever, I''m just doing this for peronsla use and knowledge, and I only let people download it so I can get some help to find what''s wrong. So I dont think I really have to bother doing that, it''s just for me.



ByteMe95::~ByteMe95()

Yeah, I noticed that problem around the edges of the torus myself. I think it''s because I use a hash table to sort my polys (Quickest thing I''ve seen around), so it''s not completely accurate, but I plan on wokring on it a little more when I find some friggin time.

I still have that problem with rotating the light source isntead of the vertices, as you can see the lighting isn''t working correctly, it should seem like it''s isn''t moving

Any ideas?

Andos, this thread is 2 years old !!

I think his engine has changed alot since then...
