Setting a static spot light

Hello everyone :slight_smile: I’m facing a problem with setting a fixed (position) spot light. I don’t know, how to do it, because when I try something, the light moves a bit when I’m moving my camera. I want to move the light at a position of a lamp in my scene :slight_smile:
I’ve got following in my vertex shader file

bulbLight.position = (VMatrix * vec4(0.16f, 1.04f, 0.35f, 1.0f)).xyz;
bulbLight.spotDirection = normalize((VMatrix * vec4(0.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f)).xyz);

and then I’ve got a following function to evaluate a lighting of the bulb … vertPosition and vertNormal is from vertex shader file:

//vs file
vertNormal = normalize(normalMatrix * vec4(normal, 0.0f)).xyz;
vertPosition = (VMatrix * MMatrix * vec4(position, 1.0f)).xyz;

//fs file
vec4 evalBulbLight(Light bulb, Material mat, vec3 vertNormal, vec3 vertPosition) {
	vec3 result = vec3(0.0f);
	
	vec3 L = normalize(bulb.position - vertPosition);
	vec3 N = normalize(vertNormal);
	vec3 V = normalize(-vertPosition);

	float spotFactor = max(dot(-L, normalize(bulb.spotDirection)), 0.0f);
	if(bulb.spotCosCutoff > spotFactor) {
		return vec4(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
	}
	
	result += bulb.ambient * mat.ambient;
	result += max(dot(L,N), 0.0f) * bulb.diffuse * mat.diffuse;
	result += pow(max(dot(reflect(-L, N), V), 0.0f), mat.shininess) * bulb.specular * mat.specular;

	float dst = distance(bulb.position, vertPosition);
	float attenuationFactor = 1.0f / (	bulb.constantAttenuation + 
										bulb.linearAttenuation * dst +
										bulb.quadraticAttenuation * (dst * dst) );
										
	result *= attenuationFactor;
	result *= pow(spotFactor, bulb.spotExponent);
	result *= bulb.intensity;

	return vec4(result, 1.0f);
}

What I am doing wrong? Maybe I shouldn’t multiply vectors by viewmatrix? But I also try modelmatrix … or modelLampMatrix … but nothing worked :frowning: Could you give me some hint? Thank you very much :slight_smile:
