[map] Shader fun - this is a dev blog

Are you planning to stick in HDR/tone mapping before the select bright pixels part of the bloom pipeline? I've found it really improves the look of bloom, since it avoids bright pixels producing a clamped-out white colour.

Unlikely, since I am working on other parts of the shader first, like the best way to do a light source that is a line segment (laser scattering).
It is proving to be quite difficult.

How? Just draw the bounding box and calc dist?

yeah but with the bar the source I have to calc the dot product of the distance to the two ends of the line segment light to get the amount of light hitting it.

YAY!
Thanks to Kloot, we can now get proper map normals!
