With the shift in game locales from being outdoors to indoors on a space station, my lighting model needs have shifted. \u00a0Previously I was using a single, dominant directional light as the main light source and shadow mapping off of that. \u00a0Now that doesn’t make sense, so I need a lot of pointlights instead. \u00a0When faced with the decision on how to approach that, I decided to implement a light pre-pass system in my forward renderer instead of a complete rewrite to a fully deferred system. \u00a0It’s generally been progressing well until I tried to actually store a pointlight into the lighting buffer and then sample that in place of the standard Phong lighting equation. \u00a0Silly me!<\/p>\n
