Kid Tripod, don’t worry too much: the Blinn shader stuff will be in 2.27(unless something really odd happens).

Can’t wait.

It’s MUCH better, it has much more control.

can blinn shaders even be implemented into a scanline. elaborate on this “blinn” stuff, or point to some links that explain it.

sounds very interesting…

Those in the know correct me, but I believe Cessen has it working in Blender in an experimental version. Blinn shaders basically respond more accurately to incident light, and give much more control for all surfaces, diffuse, right through to miles better control over highlights. Somewhere over on Blender.org theres some pictures which demonstrate this.

Its telling that the Maya guides will tell you that most Maya users will use Blinn shaders for everything, just because they are that versatile. (Although they are not the be all and end all, they are certainly the next required step in Blender’s renderer).

EDIT: Check this thread http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=1017

Is this how 3Dvirtualight also work ?
