Normal map lighting for 2D Pixel Art sprites

[mchlkpng]

So after a bit of experimentation with this concept, I’ve come up with a simple project that’s able to support normal and spectral lighting and can handle multiple different lights. It uses a lua module to help create/track lights and their values as they are pushed to the renderscript.

It supports directional, point, and spotlights as per this LearnOpenGL tutorial. The lights exist in 3d space and their effects on the sprites reflect (haha) that, and the lighting is attenuated. I’ll post code or the entire project (after cleaning and documenting) if anyone is interested. Here’s a sloppy example:

I’ll see if I can get it put later today (it’s 2 am for me lol)

That would be great for reference. Let us know if you finally share the code. Thanks!

I’ve shared it already, here it is

2d Normal and Specular Lighting with GLSL in Defold

(Continuation of this thread) I’ve managed to put together an example of this shading and how it could be done with multiple lights. Thanks to @Pawel for setting the building blocks for this type of stuff in Defold. The README.md is a walkthrough of how it works and how one would implement this for themselves. Please feel free to expand on this and optimize it. Disclaimer: There may some sort of compatibility or version issue with HTML5 that causes the fragment program to not compile. This…
