There are debug tools gl_saturatelighting (additive if 1) gl_monolightmap with values I, L (multiplication), A (alpha blending) otherwise, multitextured or 2-pass, there is multiplicative blending of a lightmap into diffuse texture if ( qglMTexCoord2fSGIS ) { GL_EnableMultitexture( true ); GL_Select...

qbism wrote:q2bsp vs q3bsp - q2bsp lighting is additive, q3 is a multiplier. The q3 method is faster but dynamic lighting fails in dark areas. Anything x 0 = 0.

Khm q2 use multiplying lightmaps blending (in gl)

I not seen your code more time ago, remember what it was all very cool optimized for rendering. I studied like you did deluxe maps, but i make my version, and without any compiler But i wanted shadows from all objects and.... make like d3 engine...

Shadow volumes ideal thing for closed levels. But if we need add shadows from bsp-bmodels, otherwise the shadow will "break through" the wall (like q3 with cg_shadows 2)

Each technology has drawbacks - shadow volumes strongly hit the vertex processor, shadow maps to the pixel. In quake2 polygonal very low and we can use the shadow volumes. In doom3 Carmack also prefer shadow volumes. But if you look in the debugger, tri-call can be "scary". Q2dm1 - up to 2...

I do not think it is worth to remember Creative pat now. You're not going to sell it? :) stencil setup for z-fail volumes GL_StencilMask(255); GL_StencilFuncSeparate(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_ALWAYS, 128, 255); GL_StencilOpSeparate(GL_BACK, GL_KEEP, GL_INCR_WRAP_EXT, GL_KEEP); GL_StencilOpSeparate(GL_FR...

A+B+C= -D ?

fog lights (jail5 relight)

csm map is rgba texture -
Red: inverted heightmap
Green: sqrt (Cone_Ratio)
Blue: df/dx
Alpha: df/dy
But shader use only RG channels

I spent a few hours in order to alter the height map in csm maps. As a result, the size of re-texture increased by 500 megabytes. If we compare the speed - csm is approximately two times faster than pom or relief mapping. But if you use optimized algorithms for relief and pom and then the speed is a...

uhh, John, it looks very cool

realtime lava surfaces lighting

Try to make the blood darker, now it is very reminiscent of the wall paint

support plugins? very nice
