Voxel Lighting!

Quick update on the progress of my voxel engine.

Updates

• Moved from forward shading to deferred shading (which I started a blog post on!).
• Since deferred shading breaks up the lightng information into textures, I can select which texture is displayed to visualize the information
• The cube meshes created now have per vertex normals
• Voxel Lighting

You can visually see where the normals are pointing (or atleast a general idea)

The cube meshes created now have per vertex normals

The lights are propagated outwards to each adjacent block, using a breath-first search.

Here's the light map texture.

Lighting is per face meaning light propagates up and around other blocks

TODO

• Working on debug utilities
• More user interface features (Working on a command line)
