View source for Talk:Phong

I have started this and intend to work on it over the coming days and add what knowledge I have of how exactly all the paremters available affect the final result of the specularity.

Checking the new shader sdk I don't see the occlusion texture in the code, So I assume it is currently not functional.

"New"? New to Source perhaps, but phong itself has been around when I was in high-school 10 years ago. --[[User:Andreasen|Andreasen]] 08:23, 21 Sep 2006 (PDT)

The original designs of Phong relate back to 1973, so it's definitly not new.--[[User:ElliottB|ElliottB]] 09:42, 21 Sep 2006 (PDT)


Oops thats what I meant. You can only use it in the newer source engine AppId 215 for Mods. --[[User:RomeoGuyMapper|RomeoGuyMapper]] 11:00, 21 Sep 2006 (PDT)

:: I don't mean to burst your bubble, but I already started an aricle [[User:Wunderboy/phong_shader|here]]. I've just recieved a mail from one of the devs at Valve confirming all the parameters and a bunch of renders showing all the stages, so I should be able to finish it up this weekend --[[User:Wunderboy|Wunderboy]] 12:13, 21 Sep 2006 (PDT)

Ok cool saves me time :) Here is a picture you may like to use that I was gonna use. [[Image:Phong_oldman.jpg]]


==Redundant?==

I've now finished my more in depth article, [[Phong materials]] which is based on info from Valve themselves. Does it make this page redundant? --[[User:Wunderboy|Wunderboy]] 08:08, 13 Dec 2006 (PST)

: I believe it does. I guess it should redirect to [[Phong materials]] now? --'''[[User:Campaignjunkie|Campaignjunkie]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Campaignjunkie|talk]])</sup> 14:20, 13 Dec 2006 (PST)

:: I guess so, I don't know how to do it though? --[[User:Wunderboy|Wunderboy]] 10:57, 16 Dec 2006 (PST)
