problem with per fragment lighting (pictures inside) (problem not resolved)
Author
Hi,
My loader seems to work without the shaders. The per fragment shader works perfectly under renderMonkey. But when i activate this shader the model isn't lighted... i just can see the material's color and this shader works for one of my models but not with the others.
I have had a similar problem before i have tought that it was an attenuation problem. I have changed the value of the quadratic factor (1.0, 0.00035,...) but i don't know what to use because nothing works (except for one model).
Can you help me to choose the attenuation factor(s) ? or tell me if it comes from something else ?

The shader works for one model, but not another? That would suggest to me a problem with the model itself. Maybe the normals on that model are malformed? Are all of it's triangles front facing? Does it have the appropriate texture stages (normal, specular, whatever you need)? Basic stuff, but often times people can miss 'em.
Also, you said it works in Render Monkey, but were you testing it with a default (teapot or somthing) model, or your actual in game models? Also, Render Monkey takes care of a lot of state changes on it's own in the background (although it let's you tweak them quite a bit.) I would suggest making sure that the state settings in your engine match the Render Monkey settings as closely as possible.

in fact, it looks that that there are two problem :
1)Attenuation is not correct for some models
2)my lighting is correct(when attenuation is correct too) only for the part of the object which is firstly lighted by the light. But when i turn the model on itself, the parts which were hidden are either not lighted or lighted incorrectly.
Do you see what i mean ? and do have an idea ?

i have swapped the y and z normals coordinates and the part which wasn't lighted is lighted now, except for the sides of the model which i display(the lighting is stange).
The orientation of the faces are apparently the same, therefore i don't understand why it works for some parts of the mesh and not with the others.
if i multiply the normals of this mesh with the transformation matrix i have the same results (in this case).
i'm a little lost so if you can help me, i would be glad

This suggests to me that you may not be rotating yourn normals properly, or may not be calculating them correctly in the first place.
It would be very helpful to have screenshots of the issue or a simple demo to show what's wrong.
Since Seb doesn't have a web host, I'll host these for him till he can get this sorted out:

I'll take a closer look later and see what suggestions I have, but for now I'm off to work!

after u set up the camera eg glulookat(..) then reposition the light , get it working first with a directional light (ie dont worry about attenuation)

hmm just see at the top "The per fragment shader works perfectly under renderMonkey" u mean this is a shader + not gl lighting in that case
r u doing bumpmapping?
my suggestion is do it first without bumpmapping
use this as the fragment shader
float diffuse_amount = dot( vec3(0,0,1), normal ) );
gl_FragColor = vec4(diffuse_amount,diffuse_amount,diffuse_amount,1.0)
pass the normal from the vertex shader to the fragment shader, if it doesnt wotrk then youre normals are buggered

(i'm not doing bump mapping, it's just per pixel lighting)
it's really a problem a normals (i have the same problem with your shader), but i don't understand, i don't manage to find the error (the code is not so complex) and i find strange that some parts are lighted correctly and not the others knowing that the computations are the same for all the vertices.
i put my code (it's long but a lot is simple) can you take a look at it and tell me if you find (or not) errors ?
