The biggest technological advancement in the Doom 3 engine is the
|
|||
|
|
unified per-pixel lighting.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
In previous engines, world geometry
|
|||
|
|
went through a different rendering and lighting path than model
|
|||
|
|
geometry (such as characters and objects). If an object moved,
|
|||
|
|
the lighting would always look wrong on it. Either the lighting
|
|||
|
|
would not move with the object, or there simply wouldn't be
|
|||
|
|
lighting and shadows for the object. It is very hard to create
|
|||
|
|
tension because you would get the effect seen in cartoons
|
|||
|
|
where you could pick out the brick that was going to move because
|
|||
|
|
it was always a different color.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
In Doom 3, however, all triangles go through the same render backend.
|
|||
|
|
This means you can have an entity next to a piece of world geometry,
|
|||
|
|
and they will look exactly the same. You never know which panel
|
|||
|
|
the imp is going to pop out of, because all the wall panels integrate
|
|||
|
|
seemlessly into the world.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
Every object has a material on it. This material defines how the lighting
|
|||
|
|
and shadow system will interact with the object (it also defines how the
|
|||
|
|
sound system interacts, but we won't get in to that).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
Each triangle has three seperate images associated with it: the bump map,
|
|||
|
|
the diffuse map, and the specular map.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
The bump map (or normal map) is a way to simulate geometry on a flat surface.
|
|||
|
|
Normally, when light hits a flat surface, it reflects at the exact angle
|
|||
|
|
of impact. When a surface has a normal map on it, the angle of reflection
|
|||
|
|
is perturbed some amount depending on the RGB value of the pixel the light
|
|||
|
|
hit.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
Bump maps are explained in greater detail in the <a href="bumpmaps.html">bumpmaps</a>
|
|||
|
|
section.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
A specular map is a gray scale image that defines how 'shiny' an object is. The
|
|||
|
|
more white a pixel is, the more it reflects light back in to the camera. Something
|
|||
|
|
like a dirt road would pretty much have a pure black specular map, but something
|
|||
|
|
like chrome would have almost a pure white specular map.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
The diffuse map is what actually gives the object color. It should only be "local
|
|||
|
|
color" with no shadows or highlights because those will be added in later by the
|
|||
|
|
lighting system. The diffuse map should be created as if the object were being
|
|||
|
|
lit on all sides by pure white ambient light.
