I've got question concerning lighting in opengl. After loading vertexes,normals,texcoords etc. from obj I'm trying to make the model being two sided, but somehow it doesn't work. I added to my program: glLightModeli(GL_LIGHT_MODEL_LOCAL_VIEWER,true); (on one sided everything works as it should, when two sided model is enlightned only sometimes and not correctly). I've changed parameters of material via glDiffuse(1,1,1); int glDiffuse(float r,float g,float b,float z=1) { float mat[4]; mat[0] = r; mat[1] = g; mat[2] = b; mat[3] = z; glMaterialfv(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_DIFFUSE, mat); } It looks like as if the model was enlightned from behind... (not from the direction of the viewer) [Edited by - renegat on September 28, 2006 3:24:15 AM]

Well yeah I thought of that. It doesn't work with GL_CW, it doesn't work with GL_CCW...

I put my program on the web, but I don't know if that will help. Some parts of it are written in Polish language.

I read obj file via obj.h module, opengl functions are in the opgl.h

static float lmodel_twoside[] =
{GL_TRUE};
static float lmodel_oneside[] =
{GL_FALSE};

void
initLightAndMaterial(void)
{
static float diffuse[] =
{0.5, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0};
static float position[] =
{90.0, 90.0, 150.0, 0.0};

static float front_mat_diffuse[] =
{1, 0, 0, 1.0};
static float back_mat_diffuse[] =
{0.0, 1, 0, 1.0};

glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDepthFunc(GL_LEQUAL);

glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_DIFFUSE, diffuse);
glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_POSITION, position);

glMaterialfv(GL_FRONT, GL_DIFFUSE, front_mat_diffuse);
glMaterialfv(GL_BACK, GL_DIFFUSE, back_mat_diffuse);

glLightModelfv(GL_LIGHT_MODEL_TWO_SIDE, lmodel_twoside);

glEnable(GL_LIGHTING);
glEnable(GL_LIGHT0);
}

int InitGL(GLvoid) {
initLightAndMaterial();

glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f);
glClearDepth(1.0f);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDepthFunc(GL_LEQUAL);
glHint(GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL_NICEST);
return TRUE;
}

int DrawGLScene(GLvoid)
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(0.0f,0.0f,z);

glRotatef(xrot,1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
glRotatef(yrot,0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);

glBegin(GL_QUADS);
// Front Face
glNormal3f( 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glEnd();

xrot+=xspeed;
yrot+=yspeed;
return TRUE; }

It is changed lesson7 from nehe. I push the left arrow key, the quad rotates and when we should be able to see green quad, screen becomes black. Only on the end of rotation quad becomes for a moment green. What do I do wrong? Something is messed up with normals?
