Lighting on vmodels and entities using real light points in the map. I take closest 3 lights to entity model (there's about 25 lights on dm6 to sort through) and process them in 1 pass which gives a decent render speed. This setup will also pave the way for a lot of other cool lighting effects. This effect is Spec+diffuse+ambient+model color.

Good job, looks really nice

Thanks

One of my calculations was off. Fixed video here

Spec is really high to show it off. The video conversion makes the armors look over-bright and saturated but I can't spend all day making videos :p

I like it, much more physical correct than the current ways of lighting the models I guess? Very nice specular lighting on the armors in the videos.

Yup. The classic rendering (fixed open-gl pipeline) only has access to the models vertices. To compute per vertex lighting, you only calculate the light at each vertex of a 3D model and then interpolate the resulting values to calculate the per-pixel color values. PPL (Per Pixel Lighting) computes lighting at each rendered pixel of an image so there's no faking by interpolation. Per-pixel lighting paves the way for other graphics techniques to help improve render quality, including bump mapping, specularity, phong shading and shadow volumes. Pre-geforce 2 cards will have trouble with PPL but today's card has little to no trouble with it and can make no difference in performance. GLSL bottle-necks is primarily with texel lookups so effects such as bump mapping and gloss mapping techniques is where you will see the performance hit. Realistic water is a real bitch because there are usually so many texel lookups (up to 5) ;(

In this movie I made there is only a base texture texel lookup so performance is really good and with my card it may be just as good as vertex lighting but I haven't run tests (framerate still is high tho) and there's still some optimizations I have to do.

Will any of your work be added to ezQuake?

Well, I'm on the team if that's what you mean. I'm trying to get a solid glsl framework ready for the next release

Great
