DX8 - Specular

[danday1974]

Hi all

Ive just seen specular materials at work and Im well impressed. Ill post a little prog I made wen I have finished it so u can all have a look and be impressed too (for those of u who havent seen specular materials at work). Two things though:

(1) When I scale the mesh using D3DXMatrixScaling it mucks up the specular stuff - not too important but just in case some1 is aware of this and knows why this is making things go wrong I would be interested. (I got around this using conv3ds -m -s0.1 to scale the mesh to 1/10th of its original size).

(2) I havent used specular values with vertices. I assume wen u provide a vertex value for specular that is the specular power of the vertex?

Thanks

Dan

You are at about the point where you need to start reading the SDK Docs, and googling before posting =).

Never had a reason to use specular lighting, so I am not going to be much help to you. Read the docs, and do some searching, and you should find your answer =).
