dot3 bump mapping

by Shaun Vantuil · in Torque Game Engine · 11/11/2002 (8:01 pm) · 4 replies

I've been tinkering with implementing dot3 bump mapping in the terrain renderer for a week or so now, but it's slow going. I was wondering if anyone else has been working on it and had better luck? I'd really like to compare notes.

I've done emboss bump mapping, but I'm in the same situation as you. I just can't find a good resource to learn from. I've found 4-5 but all of them:
a) are not in c/c++
b) don't use opengl
c) use ati extentions exclusively

It kinda sucks...I'd like to try doing dot3 myself, but I can't find a good resource and whenever I ask if other people have found any, they don't take the time to see if it's actually usable and i get the same stuff every time. Not even google helped me :(

might be able to find some stuff at the NVIDIA website or www.gamedev.net

good luck! (check the NVIDIA effect browser, I think theres a DOT3 resource in their Cg browser)

Hope that helps,
Jeff

DOT3 support, and many other cool things are nearly complete. Stop by the Torque Enhancment project at http://tge.ta-network.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi for info.

Jeff: I've looked in both places. There's stuff that's almost usable, but, I can't figure any of it out :(
