Hey all,
I am currently in the process of learning more about Bump Mapping and there is one thing I need to know. How would I go about setting up a system where the Bump Map actually Updates Constantly without needing to Rotate the Object in a fixed location. What I am trying to accomplish is getting a continuous Specular Update, kinda like the effect you would see on weapons in Halo 3 or something where the Specular Highlights actually update as you move through areas with light, if this makes any sense
here is my code I just need some insight is all and maybe a little example.
