== ALS Landing Lights - Spotlight == | == ALS Landing Lights - Spotlight == | ||
The ALS Landing Lights-Spotlight (we'll call it ALS Lights from now on) is a good example for showing how to incorporate a shader effect into [[Flightgear]] as it touches many parts of the visuals we see and many parts of the coding pipeline. | |||
In the case of ALS Lights, you have to add the effect to every visual item rendered on the screen that you want to see a light shining on. If you want it to be capable of shining on everything, you have to account for each separate item and how that item is rendered. That is a lot of code to touch. | In the case of ALS Lights, you have to add the effect to every visual item rendered on the screen that you want to see a light shining on.
