We are trying to implement normal mapping in our 2D Game Engine and get weird effect.
If normal is set manually like that
vec3 Normal = vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.0) light works correctly, but we dont get "deep" effect that we want to achieve by normal mapping:
But if we get normal using normal map texture: vec3 Normal = texture(NormalMap, TexCoord).rgb it doesn't work at all. What should not be illuminated is illuminated and vice versa (such as the gaps between the bricks). And besides this, a dark area is on the bottom (or top, depending on the position of the light) side of the texture.
Although the texture of the normal map itself looks fine:
This is our fragment shader:
#version 330 core
layout (location = 0) out vec4 FragColor;
in vec2 TexCoord;
in vec2 FragPos;
uniform sampler2D OurTexture;
uniform sampler2D NormalMap;
struct point_light
{
vec3 Position;
vec3 Color;
};
uniform point_light Light;
void main()
{
vec4 Color = texture(OurTexture, TexCoord);
vec3 Normal = texture(NormalMap, TexCoord).rgb;
if (Color.a < 0.1)
discard;
vec3 LightDir = vec3(Light.Position.xy - FragPos, Light.Position.z);
float D = length(LightDir);
vec3 L = normalize(LightDir);
Normal = normalize(Normal * 2.0 - 1.0);
vec3 Diffuse = Light.Color * max(dot(Normal, L), 0);
vec3 Ambient = vec3(0.3, 0.3, 0.3);
vec3 Falloff = vec3(1, 0, 0);
float Attenuation = 1.0 /(Falloff.x + Falloff.y*D + Falloff.z*D*D);
vec3 Intensity = (Ambient + Diffuse) * Attenuation;
FragColor = Color * vec4(Intensity, 1);
}
And vertex as well:
#version 330 core
layout (location = 0) in vec2 aPosition;
layout (location = 1) in vec2 aTexCoord;
uniform mat4 Transform;
uniform mat4 ViewProjection;
out vec2 FragPos;
out vec2 TexCoord;
void main()
{
gl_Position = ViewProjection * Transform * vec4(aPosition, 0.0, 1.0);
TexCoord = aTexCoord;
FragPos = vec2(Transform * vec4(aPosition, 0.0, 1.0));
}
I google about that and found some people that get the same result, but their questions remained unanswered.
Any idea of what is the cause?
