Optimize terrain shaders for tri-planar mode per layer, remove fog defines to make room?

…but it’s bugged only for terrain, yes?

No it is also happening for my other models too actually. I wasn’t sure so I tested again, and it seems like any intense fog flickers the entire geometry when I get close enough while holding a weapon that has a point light.

If I remember correctly, It didn’t even end up being anything related to fog specifically. I ended up reducing my shaders to have only a single line in the main() section to hard-code the output color to the same gray color that intense fog would result in, and the issue still occurred. So it seemed to be a deeper JME issue that only got highlighted coincidentally as a result of the gray color you would experience by intense fog.

Here was the thread I made about the issue from a while ago:

Lighting artifact caused by Point Lights

Whenever I use any point lights in my scenes, I have discovered a very noticeable lighting artifact. When the pixel color output by the .frag shader (gl_FragColor) is a certain shade of gray, then you will begin to notice that point lights light up the entire geometry, even if the vertex is outside of the radius of the point light - and the artifact is worse for pixels as they become more gray. [image] I discovered the artifact using the fog library contribut…

I think the last thing mentioned in that thread was you saying I should make a test case, but I wasn’t exactly certain at the time how to best show the issue and eventually forgot about it since I stopped using the fog in my game. Maybe I should try to look into it more since the issues still happening.
