|
||
|
|
[57:42][Recap today's cleaning up]
|
||
|
|
[58:21][@pseudonym73][When you lerp two normals, you probably won't get a normalised vector. There are a few things you can do about that. Would you briefly comment on your thoughts about this?]
|
||
|
|
[1:01:41][@@chronaldragon][Q: how are we going to sample lights when calculating the pixel values for each sprite? Will there be a list of all the lights? Or will that be a parameter of some sort?]
|
||
|
|
[1:02:10][@ingenero][What ever happened to your almond milk?]
|
||
|
|
[1:02:27][@insofaras][Will Yangtian be making normal maps for the art now too?]
|
||
|
|
[1:02:51][@andsz_][Will you cover more advanced BRDFs? Or just simple phong-like lighting equations?]
|
||
|
|
[1:04:48][@panic00][What if I don't want my game to be just 'normal'? Are there any other kinds of maps I can use to make my game more unique?]
|
||
|
|
[1:06:25][@@chronaldragon][Q: Some games use a 'bump-map' in addition or instead of a normal map. What is the difference between these and what are the advantages or disadvantages?]
|
||
|
|
[1:07:12][Blackboard: Bump Map vs Normal Map]
|
||
|
|
[1:12:37][gasto5 Q; Will the effect end up like a bump map effect?]
|
||
|
|
[1:12:54][@deadvertex][Could we do reflections by using our frame buffer as an environment map when drawing the bitmap?]
|
||
|
|
[1:13:17][@pseudonym73][If you imagine the surface as an implicit function f(x,y,z) = 0, it's the gradient of THAT function. Which is the same as the cross product of the two surface tangents.]

[1:14:44][We have come to the end of the questions]
