OpenGL Diffuse Lighting Shader Bug?
- by anon
The Orange book, section 16.2, lists implementing diffuse lighting as:
void main()
{
vec3 N = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal);
vec4 V = gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_vertex;
vec3 L = normalize(lightPos - V.xyz);
gl_FrontColor = gl_Color * vec4(max(0.0, dot(N, L));
}
However, when I run this, the lighting changes when I move my camera.
On the other hand, when I change
vec3 N = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal);
to
vec3 N = normalize(gl_Normal);
I get diffuse lighting that works like the fixed pipeline.
What is this gl_NormalMatrix, what did removing it do, ... and is this a bug in the orange book ... or am I setting up my OpenGl code improperly?
