Simple Texture Light

[Brian Beuken]

yes light totally creates a sense of immersion in a game. A shape or model will always look artificial until light is applied and it smooths and adds subtly to the model as the pic above shows.

Get a flickering torchlight in front of you with a distance limit and you get a real sense being in a cave with a flame torch.

Light in all is different forms is one of the main challenges to a graphics programmer trying to achieve realism.
