Info

Lighting Render Loop • On DirectX8 HW – Passes are as listed • On DirectX9 HW – Passes L + 1 and L + 2 can be combined – Fog Pass can be collapsed into Pass 0 • Due to not needing dest alpha for attenuation & mask • Perform Lighting passes with black fog – Pass L + 2 might have better lighting • Due to per-pixel calculation of H or R and real exponents for specular • Various more complex lighting models possible
Lighting Render Loop Summary • Good solution for D3D8 / D3D9 scalability • For shadowed scenes, use single light at a time – Easier than packing mulitple lights into one pass – Scales linearly • DirectX9 lets you do all lighting in one pass – But for shadows and similarity to DirectX8 path, use one pass per light
