theres a normal mapped crate with env map in my normal mapping (dx9.1) tutorial... doesn't matter to me if its just a tech demo, we get the point
I'm REALLY looking forward to this, its the cornerstone of my game art... Thanks!

How to apply normal map to model or wall?

what can i say....impressive.!
release the code as soon as you can pleease

Lol, you beat me to it- I just got a working version with light sources (I had to go to ASM because of some HLSL limits I didn't want to deal with). Mine still is rather buggy though, perhaps I'll get it working properly soon and release a version that works fully as well .

Mine is buggy, too. Alot of variables are hard coded in there right now.

Here's a small shot of current progress. The (2) light colors represent (2) light sources placed in the level. I am beating my head working on distance and attenuation factors. It took the better part of last evening to figure out why the (2) lights did not blend on the model in a smooth manner. These are not moving, yet.

For the blending, I'll have to look it up first, but you have to first lerp the colors, then normalize them if I remember right... Otherwise they blend as graytones instead of color blends.

Btw- this is what I have so far...

It works with a single point lightsource rather well, but working in ASM is giving me headaches- so I'm considering converting it back to HLSL (*shudder*) and crossing my fingers that it works and gets me past my last point in the HLSL from before (lol, talk about going the long way around ).

Looking pretty sweet.... Good work.

BTW: My issues were indeed solved with normalizing my light source vectors. Thanks.

Good to hear .

EDIT: I got two sources now too- if you use two passes, you don't have to worry about the blending

Looks awsome Rhuarc.

It looks beautifull.
