2D (Deferred) Lighting:http://www.soolstyle.com/2010/02/15/2d-deferred-lightning/
Originally found here:
Not quite sure what the layering part has to do with the shader.
I found this tutorial extremely helpful when I implemented lighting into my 2d engine:
When it comes to layers I simply render each layer into a separate render target, using three layers whereof each has unique lighting, for instance;
a light in the landscape layer is only affecting objects rendered within the same layer
a object within the layer in front of the landscape layer is not affected by the lighting in the landscā¦
A useful recent post regarding Lerping
In case anyoneās interested I just wrote a quick tutorial on using extended Lerp functionality for smooth sprite and/or camera motion. It contains a C# class file compatible with MonoGame. Check it out here
In mathematics, linear interpolation is a method of curve fitting using linear polynomials to construct new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points.
If the two known points are given by the coordinates

x

y

Hi guys,
GITHUB: https://github.com/UncleThomy/DeferredEngine
I reworked my deferred engine playground basically from scratch. It started out as a real fast way to make some models appear on screen, but now it has a bit more structure.

What it is:
Itās a scene setup which enables programmers to quickly try out new shaders in a deferred environment with a relatively easy way to import models with physically based materials`

This is the main draw function. As you can see iā¦
XNA Colour list, found on a post by @kosmonautgames here:
Here is some reference.
http://www.foszor.com/blog/xna-color-chart/
I just want to point out that a lot of modern beautiful colors, like magenta variations and yellows are missing in favor of 20 sand colors that look super similar. Haha. I think the color palette is fine actually, just the nomenclature
If you want true green (0,255,0) you need to use Lime. DO NOT CONFUSE WITH LIMEGREEN!

Another fine contribution by @willmotil
Well i forgot all about this, I wrote this after a post between me and kwyky about the createlookat function. I meant to post it and forgot about it. This is like a 3d space sim camera. i could of fixed the y axis or done it a bit more but i never got around to it still its good for what it is a simple camera.
The idea was.
You add a world space object to a class.
You can then control it using the Input class.
Send it to the view space camera transformer.
You get back a combined worldviewprā¦

Found here:
I have written a short guide about adding post-processing shaders to MonoGame, itās a simple guide covering the minimal amount of necessary knowledge that assumes you know a little bit about anything. Iāve gotten more RTs and Likes on twitter from this post so I thought āhey, maybe Iāll cross-post here because people might find it usefulā.
