As much as I like to use 'lens flares' ;), I don't know exactly what
you mean... The concepts aren't clear to me.<br>
<br>
Any other thoughts? <br>
<br>
thnx<br>

For the smooth shadow-graduation to the sites of your cube ive got a
thought:<br>
Maybe you can use a CompositeMaterial which holds your phong-shader and
additional a FlatShadeMaterial in the layer below. The FlatShade may
have a graduation from 0xFFFFFF to 0x000000. Maybe playing around with
blendLayers may give you a better result. Just a thought, i didnt tried
it.<br>
<br>
Another thing: You can try to use a EnvMapShader instead of phong or
gouraud. Open Photoshop, create a new 256,256 dokument. Dark Background
and then the LensFlare-Effekt in Render-Effects. Drag the Point in the
center, so youll get a nice shiny Phong-map. This you can use as envMap
for the shader.<br>
If you move you camera, you have to move the light with it.<br>

cool list,<br>
<br>
To enhance my portfolio with a tiny little bit extra detail I decided
to add some phongshading to my rotating block.<br>
My question is if the lightsource could be altered. As if it seems to
be bigger or something.<br>
<br>
I've made 2 tests:<br>
<br>
test1:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.sentoplene.com/phongshader/test1/" target="_blank">http://www.sentoplene.com/phongshader/test1/</a><br>
The lighting and shadowing is a bit too dramatic for my liking, it's a
bit too dark<br>
code:<br>
var light :PointLight3D = new PointLight3D();<br>
var phongShader :PhongShader = new PhongShader(light, 0xFFFFFF,
0x000000);<br>
<br>
test2:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.sentoplene.com/phongshader/test2/" target="_blank">http://www.sentoplene.com/phongshader/test2/</a><br>
The lighting of the front element is more to my liking, only the
shadows stay way too light when I turn the block. I like it as in test1
when the shadow will turn too black.<br>
code:<br>
var light :PointLight3D = new PointLight3D();<br>
var phongShader :PhongShader = new PhongShader(light, 0xFFFFFF,
0xbbbbbb);<br>
<br>
I know some photography, so I know when you enlarge your lightsource
that the light gets softer. Is this possible? Or can I simulate that?
That the light gets bigger, so the front element gets lighter in
general, but when I turn the block, the shadows will go towards black?<br>
<br>
I hope I make myself clear... anyone?<br>
<br>
Sander<br>
