  1. Lecture 6 Lighting

  2. Introduction • What is light? • How do we percept colors? • Lights in OpenGL

  3. Different Types of Light • Ambient • Diffuse • Specular

  4. Defining Lights in OpenGL • Defining Light Source • Defining Material • Defining Light Model Note: glColor will NOT work when using light in OpenGL

  5. Light Source • Light sources are: • Directional: • Source resides in infinity • Light rays are parallel • Example: Sun. • Positional • Source resides in local scene • It radiates all directions by default unless restricted by defining a spot light • Example: Desk lamp

  6. Defining Light Source

  7. Adding Light Source void glLightv(GLenum light, GLenum pname, TYPE *param); Example: GLfloat light_ambient[] = { 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0}; glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_AMBIENT, light_ambient);

  8. Enabling Light • glEnable(GL_LIGHTING) • glEnable(Light Source) • Eight light source (0-7) • Specifying shade model • glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH)

  9. Be Aware of Defaults • When lighting is enabled, all the default values for all lights are loaded as shown in the table, unless you cancel them. • Use lights other than light0 if you want them to be cancelled by default. • Lights [1-7] have most of their default RGB values black.

  10. Pitfall • When you use translate/rotate, it applies to light direction and position as well. • Solution: Use push/pop matrix if you don’t want your light sources to be affected.

  11. Light Position/Direction GLfloat light_position[] = { x, y, x, w }; W : Defines if the light source resides in infinity or in local scene. X, y, z: Location of light if light source resides in local view Or, Direction of light if the light source resides in infinity.
