Greetings, fellow humans.
I’m having a problem getting proper specular shading in my openGL 3.3 core application (using glfw, and GLAD, on win7 64, AMD Radeon HD 6570, v. 15.200.1062.1004). As you can see here (https://imgur.com/4QNuiiZ), no matter the viewing angle, the entire cube is uniformly covered in specular highlights. I’ve combed through the code over and over, and I simply cannot find where I’m going wrong. This is all from a tutorial found at Learn OpenGL, extensive tutorial resource for learning Modern OpenGL.
Here is the main class:
int main()
{
glfwInit();
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
GLFWwindow* window = glfwCreateWindow(SCR_WIDTH, SCR_HEIGHT, "Yabba-dabba-doooooo!", NULL, NULL);
if(window == NULL)
{
std::cout << "Failed to create window. Stopping program.";
glfwTerminate();
return -1;
}
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
glfwSetFramebufferSizeCallback(window, framebuffer_size_callback);
glfwSetCursorPosCallback(window, mouse_callback);
glfwSetScrollCallback(window, scroll_callback);
//mine
glfwSetMouseButtonCallback(window, mouse_button_callback);
// tell GLFW to capture our mouse
glfwSetInputMode(window, GLFW_CURSOR, GLFW_CURSOR_NORMAL);//GLFW_CURSOR_DISABLED
if(!gladLoadGLLoader((GLADloadproc)glfwGetProcAddress))
{
std::cout << "Failed to initialize GLAD";
}
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);

Here is the vertex shader code in glsl:
#version 330 core
layout (location = 0) in vec3 aPos;
layout (location = 1) in vec3 aNormal;
layout (location = 2) in vec2 aTexCoords;
out vec3 FragPos;
out vec3 Normal;
out vec2 TexCoords;
uniform mat4 model;
uniform mat4 view;
uniform mat4 projection;
void main()
{
FragPos = vec3(model * vec4(aPos, 1.0));
Normal = mat3(transpose(inverse(model))) * aNormal;
TexCoords = aTexCoords;
gl_Position = projection * view * vec4(FragPos, 1.0);
}
And here is the fragment shader:
#version 330 core
out vec4 FragColor;
struct Material {
sampler2D diffuse;
vec3 specular;
float shininess;
vec3 objectColor;//experimental
};
struct Light {
vec3 position;
vec3 ambient;
vec3 diffuse;
vec3 specular;
};
in vec3 FragPos;
in vec3 Normal;
in vec2 TexCoords;
uniform vec3 viewPos;
uniform Material material;
uniform Light light;
void main()
{
// ambient
vec3 ambient = light.ambient * texture(material.diffuse, TexCoords).rgb;
// diffuse
vec3 norm = normalize(Normal);
vec3 lightDir = normalize(light.position - FragPos);
float diff = max(dot(norm, lightDir), 0.0);
vec3 diffuse = light.diffuse * diff * texture(material.diffuse, TexCoords).rgb;
// specular
vec3 viewDir = normalize(viewPos - FragPos);
vec3 reflectDir = reflect(-lightDir, norm);
float spec = pow(max(dot(viewDir, reflectDir), 0.0), material.shininess);
vec3 specular = light.specular * (spec * material.specular); //light.specular * (spec * material.specular);
vec3 result = (ambient + diffuse + specular) * material.objectColor; //vec3 result = ambient + diffuse + specular;
FragColor = vec4(result, 1.0);
}
This compromises the bulk of the code I’m using, although as you can see, there is a camera and shader header as well. Thanks in advance for those willing to wade through.
