Per the conversation here: http://kineme.net/forum/DevelopingCompositions/Environmentmapsandvertexn...

I decided to put together an example over morning coffee.

This is a GLSL shader that "intercepts" the lighting position, diffuse, specular, and shininess, etc., and basically just sets up a Blinn-Phong model lighting using that info - so Lighting patch controls can be used as expected.

Then I added the popular "ashima arts" perlin noise implementation that's been kicking around that I've been seeing in the frag shaders, but placed in the vertex shader - so that there's some tweakable exposure (though I don't really recommend it) instead of just invoking the default noise function.

This is an example that gives some pointers about using the lighting environment patch in QC (OpenGL Lighting).

I've made some basic notes about the main functions, and setup some lights with animated attenuation to demonstrate mixing colored lighting with a main white light. It's sort of a study in attenuation and placement.

Not groundbreaking stuff, but if you ever have trouble with gl lighting, this may help. It's pretty much based in one of the more popular dl's/instructions from my site (to my surprise), but a little bit updated, and better annotated.
