Published tutorial 19 - Specular Lighting

Feb-15, 2011

Fixed a couple of bugs in tutorial 18:

When transforming the normal to world space in the vertex shader we must place zero in the fourth component. Without this the lighting looks correct only when the object is located at the origin. When the object is translated the normals must remain the same. This is achieved by the zero.

When calculating the vertex normals we must normalize the result of the cross product because it is not guaranteed to be of unit length.
