Well, on the Mac at least, the only hardware at the moment that supports
two sided lighting are the GeForce3, GeForce4 and the new Radeon 8500.
Everything else is going to use software T&L.
My take on getting the shading to look right has been to work towards
getting the whole part database into BFC compliance. Once that's done
everything becomes much much easier. Not that this isn't a monumental
task, but I think with the right tools it seems like it's a doable
process.
The next thing I'm planning on implementing is a parts browser that can
track the BFC status of every part and primitive in the whole database
so I can quickly see what still needs work. ;)
