    trouble with lighting

    Reply Quote
    I'm trying to use a cartoon shader, but I can no longer make the effect.EnableDefaultLighting() because the effect is no longer a BasicEffect. How do I make that call using a non basic effect.

    Thanks.

    The effect class is different from the basiceffect class. Using an effect, all the lighting is done in the .fx effect file. Lighting is not provided for you, you will have to do it yourself. Do a google search for 'HLSL Phong Lighting'. Or look for the tutorial on thehazymind.com for 'Creating a custom BasicEffect'.
