Quick and dirty tutorial about some of this stuff:
Every object in the game has the properties below and a few more:
Diffuse Color - what color an object actually is (this is where you set
transparency if you want something to be see through)
Ambient Color - lighting that is everywhere (ie on a cloudy day, it's still
light out even when you cant see the sun, thats ambient lighting)
Specular Color - when the light hits a "shiny part", what color the shiney
thing is
Emmisive Color - what color the object glows when it's dark (most everything
is black - ie it doesnt glow!)
shineyness - how shiny an object is
Diffuse, ambient and specular lighting are defined by light sources and
interact with the above properties of models to make the final appearance of
how things look. We used to specify 1 color for lighting and it would set
the diffuse, ambient and specular light colors to that 1 color, we can now
specify each individually for some neat looking possibilities.
Thats the really short version, if i find a better tutorial i'll post it to
the group (or if anyone else knows one!)
and for artists:
Yeah, i'd like to go into shader land as well and do bump mapping and other
things so we aren't stuck to fixed function pipeline! (for non artists
shaders let you play outside of the above rules and basically let you do
nearly whatever you want and a bunch of cool effects)
