Hi,

Has anybody got some example code and shaders for doing spotlights in AppGameKit Tier 1? I need to be able to create up to 4 spotlights as well as the usual built-in pixel-shaded point lights and ambient lighting.

Many Thanks,
John

After much head / wall bashing I managed to put something together myself. All done in the fragment shader by setting some shader array and constant values. I'm sure there are better and more realistic implementations but this is a good starting point for me.

The SpotCutoff[] array contains the spotlight angles. You must populate it with Sin(lightAngle). SpotDirection is a normal and SpotPosition is the world position of the light. Don't forget to pass the number of spotlights in gNumSpotLights.

Curious as I don't know shaders, but is this for 3D and will it produce shadows from the spotlights? That would be huge, the sun being the only shadow producer is limiting.

Yes, this is for 3D but it won't produce shadows. It still uses AGK's in-built lighting methods.

If someone comes up with a shadow mapping shader that also uses point lights and spot lights I will be very impressed!
