shader() example

This shader implements the diffuse part of the SGI lighting model discussed in class.

void
shader(float *color)
{
   int i;

   /* For each light, compute its contribution */
   vec_set(color,0,0,0);

   for(i=0 ; i<numLights ; i++)
   {
      float light2Surf[3];
      float edotn;
      float tmp[3];

      /* Compute vector from light to surface. */
      vec_sub(lights[i].position,surfacePosition,light2Surf);
      vec_normalize(light2Surf);

      /* Add diffuse component. */
      edotn = vec_dot(light2Surf,surfaceNormal);
      if(edotn > 0)
      {
	 vec_scale2(edotn,diffuseColor,tmp);
	 vec_comp_mult(tmp,lights[i].color,tmp);
	 vec_add(color,tmp,color);
      }
   }
   vec_clamp(color, 0, 1);
}
