OpenGL 3D Game Tutorial 11: Per-Pixel Lighting HD

LWJGL tutorial series on how to create a 3D Java game with OpenGL! This week we add per-pixel diffuse lighting to the game, making everything look that little bit more epic! If your dragon seems to have lots of white and black patches then it could be one of 2 problems: 1. Your texture dimensions might not be powers of 2 (64x64, 128x128, 256x256 etc.) 2. If they are powers of 2 then try adding the following lines to the end of the loadTexture() method, just before returning the texture ID: GL11.glTexParameteri(GL11.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL11.GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL11.GL_LINEAR); GL11.glTexParameteri(GL11.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL11.GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL11.GL_LINEAR); GL11.glTexParameteri(GL11.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL11.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL11.GL_REPEAT); GL11.glTexParameteri(GL11.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL11.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL11.GL_REPEAT); Stanford Dragon Model: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gscenjij7ny3xz1/AADQ3u6Ve96PP3ajyJP81ETSa?dl=0 Source: Stanford University Computer Graphics Laboratory Vector maths basics: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/higher/maths/geometry/vectors/revision/1/ Dot product: http://betterexplained.com/articles/vector-calculus-understanding-the-dot-product/ Tutorial Topics (subject to change): - Display - VAOs and VBOs - Rendering a quad - Rendering using glDrawElements - Shader introduction - Coloring using shaders - Texturing - Matrices, moving and rotating - Loading 3D OBJ models - Lighting I - Lighting II - Batching - 3rd person camera - Terrain generation - Multitexturing terrain - Terrain collision detection - Transparency - Player Movement - Fog - Skybox - Day/night - Sun - Multiplayer I - Multiplayer II - Multiplayer III - Sound New Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/thinmatrix My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ThinMatrix Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThinMatrix Check out my game on IndieDB: http://www.indiedb.com/games/socuwan Contact me: thinmatrix@gmail.com End of video music- Kai Engel, "Waking Stars": http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Kai_Engel/Evening_Colors/01_-_Waking_Stars
