Anim8or v1.0 Discussion Forum / Re: Enhancement requesst: Wavefront .obj export of .mtl Ns value of 1.0

Hi selden
Sorry if I'm meddling, but I was wondering if you
have considered modifying the obj export script ?

Interesting.
I watched the original series in the sixties.
Never thought at the time that it would still
be around some 55 years later.
Bf109, is it a reference to the plane ?

Scanline and ray tracer renderer CPU-based.
Opengl and workspace renderer GPU-based.
Both use Opengl, one of the graphic card API.
Remember the shaders you selected a while ago?
They are programs running on the GPU calculating
the frame buffer pixels displayed on your screen.

Ambient is what you see when there's no specific light present (point, spot or infinite).If you're in a closed cavern without light inside, ambient is zero. If you're
in a field covered with snow ,surrounded by a forest, with
a cloudy sky and no moon, even if there's no light, you still see something. Then, you would use the same texture as for diffuse , but with a low ambient factor.
You would see only the ambient texture with no contribution by the diffuse texture.

3. "Normal Map" A normal is a unity vector perpendicular to a surface. It gives the orientation of the surface at a point and is used to calculate lighting at that point. The rgb value of each pixel of a Normal Map gives a normal value for this pixel.
vec3 rgb_normal = normal * 0.5 + 0.5; // transforms from [-1,1] to [0,1] Reverse the formula to get the normal from rgb.
Similar to Bump Map.

Menu: View/Viewport preferences Shading
Select Use shader. GLSL if you can.
If not ,ARB. If none ,you're out of luck.

If you click on the link, you'll see that I was simply quoting
Steve.
I know it was written as an export script example.
The quote made me think it could be useful.
If there's ever a problem with the export function, you
could use the script and possibly change it.

...or try the obj export plugin. As mentioned:
"This plug-in exports an Object to the .obj format. It behaves very much like the one built in to Anim8or except that it also creates a .mtl file."
https://www.anim8or.com/scripts/index.html
Don't know if the import function support material though.
You need to experiment.

Typing it worked. Adding it to the post also. But after I corrected my post, it stopped working.
