What are you doing to get it to show the occlusion in real time? I can only see it in the game engine.

yeah i had this idea too, but when i test in bge, the negative light returns positive. when i simple test on the scene is black, when i press p it's white. why?

[eedobaba7726]

yes, this happens in 2.49, I should have mentioned. As you can see, I'm using 2.5, where that bug has been fixed.

@eedobaba7726

i have blender 2.492 and it works awesome???

Hey that's so great idea, thanks alot! :P

[Streusel95]

Great idea!!

[ADEdge]

Pretty awesome idea, it looks great. My only worry would be performance when theres several of these in a scene, probubly wouldn't be worth doing until lights are optimized further.

[eedobaba7726]

That ocurred to me, and I think performance with this method could be improved by just changing the interpolation of the light to something simpler to compute than a bezier curve, like a linear falloff.

[AniCator]

Nice one. I'm just using a sprite as an 'occlusion' plane.

Also I'm wondering, doesn't OpenGL support a limited amount of lights?

Sounds interesting, perhaps you could let me know more about it? Or maybe make some tutorial? Cheers! :-)
