PrtX. Lighting...
by bkenwright@xbdev.net

Using a few lines of code it is possible to create the illusion of lighting...(download source code).

 

What we have this time is a rotating square with a texture applied to it... as the square rotates you can see the texture become darker and lighter and the square moves away from the light etc.

Two main parts of this code are:

[1] - Setting the material texture.... this can be called once at the beginning of your directX code...and never bothered with again...or for each material to get different effects with it.  As if you dont' set it, your shading will just be a dark cement colour... because the default settings are set that way.

[2]... well if you want light, you have to have a light...lol...

And coding begins... it may look like a lot of code... but there's nothing new... only the SetMaterial()and SetLight() functions... I've kept all the new stuff in the new functions!  So again, its not very efficient... and would probably be set up once... instead being called all the time from the loop.  But you can easily see the way in setting up a light easily.

Well if you just glimps at the code, you'll probably wonder why there is so much of it just to set the lighting up!  The only  DirectX API's you should be looking at are:

      g_pD3DDevice->SetLight(0, &d3dLight);

      g_pD3DDevice->LightEnable(0,TRUE);

      //Turn on lighting

      g_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_LIGHTING, TRUE);

"and"

      g_pD3DDevice->SetMaterial(&matMaterial);

 

We set up a light... its usually got an integer value, in this case 0.. then we switch it on and enable it in our device.  Next we tell our device how materials will react to light, if we dont' tell it, its got the craziest idea that everything is a cementy colour!  So we fill in a D3DMATERIAL8 structure and pass it to our device... you can do this all the time for the various materials.. eg. some materials might look a greeny colour, other materials will ignore the light etc.
