3D Fundamentals Tutorial 15

Flat shading is cool and all, but chili likes it smooth. So we're gonna learn how to shade our shit so smooth, it be like a motherfuckin baby's bottom. Which is to say, very smooth indeed. And trust me, I know. I've touched a lot of baby bottoms in my day. Does that concern you? Well it motherfucking should. Anyways, we also generate some procedural geometry (sphere) and load a mesh from .obj with vertex normals.

Topics

• Procedural sphere generation (with normals)
• Gouraud (per vertex) smooth shading
• Loading meshes with per-vertex normal information using SHITTY FUCKING TINYOBJ FUCK THAT LIBRARY
