To Do
Resources
Week 4 - Jan 30
This Week
- Vertex Shaders
- Lighting in Vertex Shaders
- Lighting Formulas
- Ambient
- Diffuse
- Specular
- HLSL Intrinsic Functions
- normalize()
- [ dot()]
- [ saturate()]
- [ length()]
- Lighting Formulas
To Do
- reorganize framework code so that vertex shader receives product of world, view, and projection matrices
- store viewProjection matrix as an instance variable in Display
- add viewProjection query to Display to extract product of view and projection matrices
- retrieve viewProjection in *::draw() method
- pre-multiply viewProjection by world to obtain composite matrix to pass to vertex shader
- add composite matrix to the constant table in the vertex shader
- reorganize framework code to minimize duplication of heading normalization
- perform normalization of heading in Display::beginDraw()
