• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Specular reflections aren't working right

  I'm having a problem with specular reflection.  It flickers as I move around my object. Sometimes when I'm looking at a face, and I swivel the camera just a few degrees, I get specular reflection.  When I swivel a few more, the reflection is gone - leading to the flicker. But specular reflection is only based on the position of the camera, not the direction it's looking.  So it confuses me that swiveling the camera would change the specular reflection in any way, much less so drastically. Also, I find it confusing that I should see specular reflection at all ...Show All

Or at reverse situation. In first line intellisense doesn’t find anything and at the second line it finds the correct available members. And, of course, the typed stuff is correct and I strictly follow the rules given in “Troubleshooting IntelliSense in C ...Show All
