I began testing some 3d stuffs with Libgdx today, inspired by this project

Here are some screenshots :

It is quite easy to render the map, problem comes from lighting. I’ve tried using Libgdx point lights (first two screenshots), they look very nice and smooth but it seems it’s just a sample as they are pretty useless (lots of artifacts, can’t add more than a few, can’t set distance,…) and I don’t really know how to make them work better without going deep into opengl.

I was kinda hopping there could be something simple to add lights, and I have no idea if it’s planned on Libgdx.

So I switched to a per-voxel lighting, problem is it’s not smooth, but it’s working.

I don’t know if I want to stick with per-voxel lighting as I think it looks better in 2d in this case (as I can add smoothing). So I don’t really know what to do at this points, I can either try to go deep into opengl, but it could take ages and not end up with something nice, or I could try switching to something else for 3d, such as jMonkey…
