Detailed Description

The sglSortedLightProcessor uses an O(n*log(n)) sort to determine which lights are most likely to affect the scene the most. All directional lights are preferred over positional lights. The key values used for sorting the directional lights are the brightness of the lights, where brightness is computed as the Y (luminance) component of the YIQ colorspace. The sort key for positional lights is a combination of the brightness, bounding volume radius, and distance from the eyepoint. Since this processor uses an O(n*log(n)) sort, it can be significantly slower than the sglDefaultLightProcessor class for large numbers of lights.

Member Function Documentation

void sglSortedLightProcessor::reset ( ) [inline, virtual]

Resets the processor for the next frame (e.g. clears list of lights). Reimplemented from sglLightProcessor. Definition at line 129 of file sglLightProcessor.hpp.

virtual void sglSortedLightProcessor::addLight ( const sglMat4f & matrix, const sglLight * light ) [virtual]

Add a light for the current frame. Parameters: matrix   modelview matrix to be used when applying this light light   pointer to the new light Reimplemented from sglLightProcessor.

unsigned int sglSortedLightProcessor::getNumLights ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Query the number of lights collected while culling the current frame. Returns: the number of lights collected while culling the current frame. Reimplemented from sglLightProcessor. Definition at line 139 of file sglLightProcessor.hpp.

virtual void sglSortedLightProcessor::apply ( ) [virtual]

Applys the lights collected for this frame. Note: this will apply at most sgl::s_max_lights. Reimplemented from sglLightProcessor.
