Colours25:33
We will now learn how to change the colour of our objects, this will be a great stepping stone for implementing amazing dynamic lights.

"Based on LearnOpenGL" by Joey de Vries as licensed under CC BY 4.0
Basic Lighting30:12
Now is the time, we will implement lights to make our games more vibrant.

We will cover the following techniques:

Ambient Lighting
Diffuse Lighting
Specular Lighting
Phong Lighting

"Based on LearnOpenGL" by Joey de Vries as licensed under CC BY 4.0
Materials24:37
Different objects in the real world react and operate differently to light, metals are more shiny than wood for example. Materials allow us to accommodate this and create more realistic looking objects.

"Based on LearnOpenGL" by Joey de Vries as licensed under CC BY 4.0
Lighting Maps27:54
Using lighting maps we can enhance our objects with different materials to react differently to lights. We expand on many of the fundamental points discussed in the previous video.

We will cover the following lighting maps:

Diffuse Maps
Specular Maps

"Based on LearnOpenGL" by Joey de Vries as licensed under CC BY 4.0
Directional Lights15:26
Directional lights omit light in a single direction, they emanate from a source that is infinitely far away making them affect objects the same regardless of position.

"Based on LearnOpenGL" by Joey de Vries as licensed under CC BY 4.0
Point Lights15:17
Point lights allow us to create lights that have a fixed position and omit light in all directions.

"Based on LearnOpenGL" by Joey de Vries as licensed under CC BY 4.0
Spot Light16:33
Spot lights provide lights that have a position and direction, these are amazing for focusing on a point in our game.

"Based on LearnOpenGL" by Joey de Vries as licensed under CC BY 4.0
Combining Directional, Point and Spot Lights44:26
We have learnt about directional lights, point lights and spot lights. Lets now combine them to create an awesome scene.

Assimp Windows Setup10:33
Learn how to setup Assimp (Open Asset Import Library) on Windows using CMake for all our Model Loading needs.

This video only covers the setup stage, the next 2 videos cover implementation of Assimp. If you are a Windows developer just ignore the Mac setup stage at the start of the next video.

"Based on LearnOpenGL" by Joey de Vries as licensed under CC BY 4.0
Assimp Mac Setup and Mesh Class35:50
We will cover setting up Assimp on Mac OS X and creating a cross platform Mesh Class.

"Based on LearnOpenGL" by Joey de Vries as licensed under CC BY 4.0
Assimp Model Class & Loading A Model56:21
Now it's time to load our 3D model into our game. We will start off by creating a Model Class to handle model loading the displaying it.
