Light shaped like a line
- by Michael
I am trying to figure out how line-shaped lights fit into the standard point light/spotlight/directional light scheme.
The way I see it, there are two options:
Seed the line with regular point lights and just deal with the artifacts. Easy, but seems wasteful.
Make the line some kind of emissive material and apply a bloom effect. Sounds like it could work, but I can't test it in my engine yet.
Is there a standard way to do this? Or for non-point lights in general?
