Lighting up terrain...

Jackthemeangiant · 2001-11-14T01:18:06

I am creating a terrain engine generated from a heightmap, and I just finished the code to calculate all the vertex normals. But I am fairly inexperienced with OpenGL Lighting, and when I enable a GL_LIGHT, and set up the diffuse and ambient properties, it just doesn't look right at all... I basically want the terrain, to look like terrain, with light coming from a particular spot(a sun). When I tried it, it was either all white, or the tops of my mountains were all white, or the light didn't reach one end of the terrain. I have read the chapter on Lighting in the Red book numerous times, but I am still stuck. Please help me =) Thanks Edited by - jackthemeangiant on November 10, 2001 3:10:04 PM
