Thank you will.

specular strength > 1 means the model is not conserving energy right?

[@miko-puk-puk]

Right, the result light value might be greater than the source light value.

[@Zentennen]

What's the advantage of computing the inverse transpose of the model matrix in the vertex shader as opposed to on the cpu? We could have a uniform normal matrix instead that gets passed in cpu-side.

[@isaiahche1214]

You are right. The inverse and transpose functions can be really costly on the shader-side, but because this is for demonstration purposes, I'm assuming that he just went ahead and did it in the vertex shader.

How does the reflect() formula work?

[@MrMariozzz78]

i use opegl in dev c++ gl library i guess it pre 2.0 so it dont use GLSL ...can i use phong light with 2.0 pre.version?

[@Byynx]

Can someone explain why specular light usually has "halo" effect. what's the logic?

If anyone is a bit lost, or just stumbled on this video and is not following the video series I'd recommend watching the following video first, /watch?v=nS3qwFOPieg, and then coming back to watch this video.

Hi. Do you know how to make this work in 2D?

[@zzador]

4:10 You might have used the wrong function here. I think you wanted to use the "pow(x, y)" function here and not the "exp(x)" function that only takes one argument. specular = pow(max(dot(R, C), 0), k) * lightColor
