I have a model that needs to be under a spotlight/directional light,
Meaning, I need to switch between the modes (Spotlight and directional).
Here is the code with some explanation:
I can rotate the model / light source with mouse movements so I am using
glRotate and glTranslate for that.
Once the user pressed the 'L' key I'm supposed to switch between the modes.
here is the code for the lightning:
void LightBall::projectLight(void)
{
if(LIGHT == _lightMode){
printf("Entering LIGHT mode\n"); <--- Supposed to be a directional light
glDisable(GL_LIGHT1);
glEnable(GL_LIGHT0);
glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_POSITION, _light_position);
}
if(SPOT_LIGHT == _lightMode){
printf("Entering SPOTLIGHT mode\n"); <--- Supposed to be a spotlight
glDisable(GL_LIGHT0);
glEnable(GL_LIGHT1);
glLightfv(GL_LIGHT1, GL_POSITION, _light_position);
glLightf(GL_LIGHT1, GL_SPOT_CUTOFF, 10.0);
glLightf(GL_LIGHT1, GL_SPOT_EXPONENT, 2.0);
glLightfv(GL_LIGHT1,GL_SPOT_DIRECTION,_spotlight_position);
}
}
The problem is I always get the same light mode when switching between them,
Which is the following:
And another example after switching between 2 light modes and still getting same light
source with light source rotation (the small ball):
How can I get the wanted result?
Here are the LIGHT0 & LIGHT1 definitions:
GLfloat light_ambient[] = { 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 };
GLfloat light_diffuse[] = { 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 };
GLfloat light_specular[] = { 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 };
_light_position[0] = 0.0;
_light_position[1] = 1.0;
_light_position[2] = 0.0;
_light_position[3] = 0.0;
_spotlight_position[0] = 0.0;
_spotlight_position[1] = -1.0;
_spotlight_position[2] = 0.0;
glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_AMBIENT, light_ambient);
glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_DIFFUSE, light_diffuse);
glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_SPECULAR, light_specular);
glLightfv(GL_LIGHT1, GL_AMBIENT, light_ambient);
glLightfv(GL_LIGHT1, GL_DIFFUSE, light_diffuse);
glLightfv(GL_LIGHT1, GL_SPECULAR, light_specular);
Thanks!
