3D Programming: Environment Mapping

Environment Mapping

Another application of texture cubes is environment mapping. Environment mapping, also known as reflection mapping, is used to approximate reflective surfaces (reflective surfaces), such as a metal bumper plated on a car.

The processing of environment mapping is slightly more complex than skybox because of the need to compute the reflection vectors of light and surface. The reflection vector is mainly computed by the view direction (limit angle vector) and the surface's normal vector. The specific formula is as follows:

R = i–2 * n * (I N)

Wherein, I represents the amount of the shot, n refers to the normal vector of the surface. Listing 8.2 lists a environment mapping effect code.
