This article is going to take some time to write so be patient. Theres a lot to explain! -- [[User:Wunderboy|Wunderboy]] 16:16, 28 Aug 2006 (PDT)

: Could be useful to describe the standard gouraud shader stuff somewhere as well - jumping straight from flat-shading to the all-singing, all-dancing phong kind of leaves out some interesting stuff which '''was''' used at some point. :-) &mdash;'''<font color="#10c010">Cargo Cult</font>''' <sub>([[User:Cargo Cult|info]], [[User talk:Cargo Cult|talk]])</sub> 06:06, 22 Sep 2006 (PDT)

::Yeah I thought about that but I don't want to bog the article down in lots of talk on graphic techniques. However I may split off stuff into sub-articles and link between them. I know I already intend to do one about half-lambert lighting. --[[User:Wunderboy|Wunderboy]] 12:22, 22 Sep 2006 (PDT)

== List of products supporting phong ==

Does any one have a list of the steam products which support phong shading ? 12:45, 1 Sep 2007 (PDT)
: Off the top of my head, CS:S, DoD:S, EP1 and any mod based off of SDK Base (AppID 215). --[[User:Wunderboy|Wunderboy]] 03:37, 2 Sep 2007 (PDT)

== Overrides specular? ==

In the material I'm working on Phong overrides specular/cubemap. Is that normal? --[[user:TomEdwards|TomEdwards]] 02:12, 22 Feb 2007 (PST)

:I believe so. There was some discussion on the DoD:S forums about this and it was generally agreed after much experimentation that there is currently no way to have phong and environmental cubemaps co-existing unless you use a custom/third party shader. There was one released on the hl2word.com forums that did it. --[[User:Wunderboy|Wunderboy]] 03:50, 22 Feb 2007 (PST)

== Lightwarp ==

From my uses of it, seems to work as intended. The others in unsupported are non-functional but the lightwarp works fine and with it can do some really strange things. In fact it works well for simulating skin using a gradient from model's skin color to black gradient.

:Well if you can post/supply some samples of how you used it and the effect maybe it's worth adding to the article.

== default "$phongexponent" "5.0"==
Can I just check this is correct & not a typo ... "50" would be more 'mid-range' ... ? [[User:Beeswax|Beeswax]]

== The Substance Painter Shader link leads to a "Page Not Found". ==

Does anybody have this link backed up? and would it even work with newer versions of substance painter, the download links I found online doesn't work for me. --[[User:Whynotll83|Whynotll83]] ([[User talk:Whynotll83|talk]]) 20:12, 14 July 2022 (PDT)

== "player stats" is obsolete and now redirects to achievements. ==

The link only redirects to the games achievement stats, on wayback machine it does show stats like how many people were using hdr and I think their direct x version, Wayback machine doesn't show flash so I can't see those stats. According to wayback machine the link would've worked up to late 2017 and then it redirected to the games achievements. --[[User:Whynotll83|Whynotll83]] ([[User talk:Whynotll83|talk]]) 01:19, 15 July 2022 (PDT)
