| Summary | 0005828: Try to reduce duplication among shader code. | ||||
| Description | Back in ARB assembly days, every shader was written from scratch and hand-optimized. This is no longer the problem today: it is perfectly OK to have large shaders and rely on branching (or compile-time dead code elimination). Having many separate shaders today causes code duplication, making it harder to maintain. Some idea for shader unification: 1) Ordinary interaction and ambient interaction shaders can be unified into single shader with a flag. 2) Perhaps cubic lights can be unified back into frustum-based ones, just add "spherical falloff" flag. | ||||
| Additional Information | Originally discussed here: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/21138-projected-lights-falloff/&do=findComment&comment=466904 But surely needs more thinking and discussion... | ||||
