Adding more lights to our scene

Up till now we have one correctly working light in our scene. Let’s see how we can get our 2 lampposts working.

First we have to find out how we can store the depthinfo of 3 different light sources in one texture, the shadow map. Up till now, we stored this depth as a gray value. This chapter, we’ll be storing the depth of each light as a different color channel of this texture: the distance to the first light will be stored in the red color channel, the distance of the second light in the green channel and the third in the blue channel.

Let’s start by updating our DirectX code. Because we’re using preshaders, the only method we need to update is the UpdateLightData method:

 private void UpdateLightData()
 {
     Vector3[] LightPos = new Vector3[3];
     LightPos[0] = new Vector3(18, 2, 5);
     LightPos[1] = new Vector3(-5, 5, 11.5f);
     LightPos[2] = new Vector3(-5, 35, 11.5f);
 
     float[] LightPower = new float[3];        
     LightPower[0] = 1.1f;
     LightPower[1] = 0.6f;
     LightPower[2] = 0.6f;
             
     Matrix[] LightViewProjection = new Matrix[3];
     LightViewProjection[0] = Matrix.LookAtLH(LightPos[0], new Vector3(2, 10, -3), new Vector3(0, 0, 1)) * Matrix.PerspectiveFovLH((float)Math.PI / 2, this.Width / this.Height, 1f, 100f);
     LightViewProjection[1] = Matrix.LookAtLH(LightPos[1], new Vector3(-5, 5, 0), new Vector3(0, 1, 0)) * Matrix.PerspectiveFovLH((float)Math.PI / 1.9f, this.Width / this.Height, 0.3f, 100f);
     LightViewProjection[2] = Matrix.LookAtLH(LightPos[2], new Vector3(-5, 35, 0), new Vector3(0, 1, 0)) * Matrix.PerspectiveFovLH((float)Math.PI / 1.9f, this.Width / this.Height, 0.3f, 100f);
             
     effect.SetValue("xLightViewProjection", LightViewProjection);
     effect.SetValue("xLightPos", V3ToV4(LightPos));
     effect.SetValue("xLightPower", LightPower);
 }

We’re doing exactly the same as before, only this time using matrices: we define the position of the 3 lights, their strength and their point of view; which form their viewing frustrum. In the end, we pass these matrices to our HLSL code.

Also make sure you pass the SpotLight to our HLSL:

 effect.SetValue("xSpotLightTexture", SpotLight);

That’s all we need to change in our DirectX code! Imagine what a mess our code would have been without using preshaders.

Next in line is the HLSL code. Change the single values to matrices:

float4x4 xLightViewProjection[3];
float4 xLightPos[3];
float xLightPower[3];

That’s how matrices are defined in HLSL. As the extra 2 lights are simply point lights, this chapter we’ll be needing the SpotLight texture:

Texture xSpotLightTexture;

sampler SpotLightSampler = sampler_state { texture = <xSpotLightTexture> ; magfilter = LINEAR; minfilter=LINEAR; mipfilter = LINEAR; AddressU = clamp; AddressV = clamp;};    
Let’s move over to the end of our file and change our techniques. We’re going to render each light during one pass, so we’ll end up with 3 passes:

technique ShadowMap
{
     pass Pass0
     {            
     cullmode = ccw;
     colorwriteenable = red;    
     VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 ShadowMapVertexShader(0);
     PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 ShadowMapPixelShader(0);
     }
     pass Pass1
     {    
     colorwriteenable = green;
     VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 ShadowMapVertexShader(1);
     PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 ShadowMapPixelShader(1);
     }    
     pass Pass2
     {    
     colorwriteenable = blue;
     VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 ShadowMapVertexShader(2);
     PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 ShadowMapPixelShader(2);
     }
}

You notice for each pass we set a renderstate so each light can only write to its own color channel of the shadow map. Perhaps even more important, we change the cullmode. The default cullmode used by HLSL is CullMode.None, which would indicate that all triangles would be drawn. Because we’ll be positioning the center of our second and third light inside our lampposts, this would mean that all these lights would see is the interior of the lampposts! Luckily, if we set the cullmode to the correct setting, the lamppost is culled away from our light point of of view (because they’re on the inside!). This renderstate will remain the same for the 2 other passes.

Also important, you’ll notice we pass a number to the vertex and pixel shader. This is called a uniform argument. In our case, this number of course indicates which light the shader will draw the shadow map for.

So let’s see how we can update our ShadowMapVertexShader so it can accept this uniform argument:

SMapVertexToPixel ShadowMapVertexShader( float4 inPos : POSITION, uniform int CurrentLight)

Next, we have to put an index at every occurrence of our 3 matrix variables. In the first vertex shader, you’ll see we’re using xLightViewProjection. Replace that line by this one:

float4x4 preLightWorldViewProjection = mul (preWorld, xLightViewProjection[CurrentLight]);

That’s it for our first vertex shader! Let’s have a look at our pixel shader, which we also have to adapt so it supports the uniform argument:

SMapPixelToFrame ShadowMapPixelShader(SMapVertexToPixel PSIn, uniform int CurrentLight)

In this shader, we’re not using any of the 3 matrix variables, but we have to update the correct color (of our shadow map) that is being written to, which corresponds to the current light:

Output.Color[CurrentLight] = PSIn.Position2D.z/xMaxDepth;

This way, the first light will update the red color channel, and so on.

So far for the first technique, let’s update our ShadowedScene technique as well:

technique ShadowedScene
{
    pass Pass0
    {    
        VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 ShadowedSceneVertexShader(0);
        PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 ShadowedScenePixelShader(0);
    }    
    pass Pass1
    {
        SRCBLEND = ONE;
        DESTBLEND = ONE;
        ALPHABLENDENABLE = true;
    
        VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 ShadowedSceneVertexShader(1);
        PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 ShadowedScenePixelShader(1);
    }
    pass Pass2
    {        
        VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 ShadowedSceneVertexShader(2);
        PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 ShadowedScenePixelShader(2);
    }
}

This technique will draw the scene 3 times using additive blending, so the intensity of a pixel will be increased for each pass the pixel is lit by the corresponding light. You can enable additive blending in the first or second pass, the result will be the same. Notice that this render state remains the same for the third pass.

You already know how to adjust the vertex shader:

SSceneVertexToPixel ShadowedSceneVertexShader( float4 inPos : POSITION, float2 inTexCoords : TEXCOORD0, float3 inNormal : NORMAL, uniform int CurrentLight)

We again need to put an index after the xLightViewProjection variable:

float4x4 preLightWorldViewProjection = mul (preWorld, xLightViewProjection[CurrentLight]);

That’s it for the vertex shader again. The last pixel shader will need some more adjustments. First of all, we have the method definition:

SScenePixelToFrame ShadowedScenePixelShader(SSceneVertexToPixel PSIn, uniform int CurrentLight)

The formulae to go to projective texture coordinates don’t change, as well as the check to see if the pixel is in the current viewing frustrum. What we do need to change, is the color of the shadow map we need to sample our stored depth from. Each light needs to sample its corresponding color:

float StoredDepthInShadowMap = tex2D(ShadowMapSampler, ProjectedTexCoords)[CurrentLight];

The code inside the last if structure also needs changing. We will adapt our code so the first light will get the shape of a carlight, while the other lights are simply shaped as a point light. The last lines also get indices where they are needed, behind the xLightPos and the xLightPower variables:

float LightTextureFactor;
if (CurrentLight == 0)
{
    LightTextureFactor = tex2D(CarLightSampler, ProjectedTexCoords).r;
}else{
    LightTextureFactor = tex2D(SpotLightSampler, ProjectedTexCoords).r;
}
    
float DiffuseLightingFactor = DotProduct(xLightPos[CurrentLight], PSIn.Position3D, PSIn.Normal);
float4 ColorComponent = tex2D(ColoredTextureSampler, PSIn.TexCoords);
Output.Color = ColorComponent*LightTextureFactor*DiffuseLightingFactor*xLightPower[CurrentLight];

That’s it! Hitting Ctrl+S shouldn’t give any problems. When you run the code, you’ll notice the shadow map has indeed become more colorful, where every color holds the distance information for a different light. However, you’ll see not everything in our scene is being lit properly. You can try to figure out what’s going on, but it’s rather difficult.
