so I have been working on a game for a while now/Learning dbGdk. I am working on a game that will generate terrains with a matrix. which i have going, as well as placement of objects. i am having problems getting any kind of light to affect the matrix. ideally id like to get shadows on it, from its self and other objects (trees characters so on) i have searched the code base fore several days, as well as googled, and read the tutorials for dark basic. i can get the results i want from a simple terrain set up. but i would prefer to make the matrix instead of the several hundred height maps id have to make for this crazy idea i have.
so the question is does any one know of a good tutorial, or a code snipet that will help with some basic lighting effects on a matrix.
the tutorials i have found involve a moving matrix or watter. i just need to get the hang of shading a matrix similar to the dbSetTerrainLight command. i believe it has something to do with the dbSetMatrixNormal, or the dbSetMatrix commands but neither seem to affect the lighting in any way.
anywho thanx for any help
