Tracker 3881: Cubemap Lighting Beta

The question is, do we need to fix all the A/C light materials to explicitly reference the makeIrradiance function, or to to automatically call it behind the scenes?

 

I would prefer the former as mappers might want to use their own irradiance texture

Bump

http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=4902 still needs discussion & decision

 

There are two cures here.

 

1) Change the ARB shader to use standard Irradiance maps then "fix" the makeIrradiace (material keyword)

image generator so that it produces proper Irradiance images

 

2) Have the GLSL shader automatically convert raw cubemap data into something akin to makeIrradiance

in a similar fashion as the ARB shader does.

 

Ultimately, we would want TDM to natively offer something that can easily convert regular cubemaps to proper

Irradiance images so mappers wont need to do all this:

Hah! Finally found out how Unity engine users are creating Cookies ( Gobo ) cubemaps:

They are baking them in-engine via models.

I think I have a TDM friendly way to do this now that I've re-read the documentation. Just build a spherical room. Place a point light in the center. Place whatever shadow casting geometry you want to fake around the center of the point light. Then capture an envshot of the results

Anyone interested in building me a high poly spherical room so I can experiment?

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
