I'm very angry

[Icare]

Hi,

 

I am very angry, I just made the acquisition of leadwerk and for now I spend my time to debug mesh.frag file. LW based on shaders, but the basic shaders are not operational see missing. Before I negotiated resolution to look at the mesh.frag file I tried with another machine doesn't have a graphics card of the same constructor.I 'm not a pro-shader programmer, it's hard to understand and I don't think my changes is the best

 

My modifications :

 

* Change the parameters to operate the parallax (Les valeurs de constante étaient trop petites)

* Removed a clamp to have a specular with bumpmap (

* Write the total management of specular without bumpmap (LW_SPECUALR never dealt with outside of the tag LW_BUMPMAP)

* What else ?

 

It is not possible ! in the 2.32 package isn't the final sharder.PAK?

 

 

. I believed in what he described on the cover page:

Materials are the key to next-generation graphics. Choose from our library of effects include normal mapping, specular reflection, cube mapping, parallax occlusion mapping, and more.

 

With Leadwerks, you no longer Have to choose Between Power and ease of use

hum hum....

 

Hoping sincerely that it is an error during the release of package 2.3 / 2.31 and 2.32. And a version of mesh.frag managing all the fabulous and the basic shader will soon be available. Maybe that olders users have kept a correct version of shader.pak, but for the new entrant is rather discouraging

Tyler posted yesterday a small shader pak which implemented cubemap and some others.

You can also download older engines and rip stuff from them, I sent you the link to the older engines by PM:

Can you please provide more information on what you are trying to accomplish? You should not have to edit shader files at all. You would never want to have specular reflections without bump mapping.

You would never want to have specular reflections without bump mapping.

How do you know? What about plastic?

 

And the cubemapping was removed from the shader...

[Josh]

You can easily use a flat normal map for that.

 

Cubemapping is in the default shaders. It's using refraction cube mapping, which is how the skybox is displayed. If you are want reflective cube mapping, that can be added pretty easily. I actually need to do it anyways for another project, so I will add it in right now.

[Josh]

It's uploaded. Run the updater to get the new shaders.pak file.

 

Plain cubemapping:

texture0 = cubemap

vertex shader= mesh_cubemap.vert

fragment shader = mesh_cubemap.frag

 

Diffuse texture + cubemapping:

texture0 = diffuse

texture1 = cubemap

vertex shader= mesh_diffuse_cubemap.vert

fragment shader = mesh_diffuse_cubemap.frag

 

EMBM:

texture0 = diffuse

texture1 = bumpmap

texture2 = cubemap

vertex shader= mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_cubemap.vert

fragment shader = mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_cubemap.frag

I going to tried it tonight, thank you

 

I had an idea to use flat normal map to a plastic effect (with specular), but I thought it was binding, and especially the shader Mesh_diffuse_specular exit in all shader.pak .

Maybe he should do the housework in sharder.pak.

 

I suspected that this was not normal that I should edit this file, but neither the effect of parallax, the specular or bumpmap not working before my change

 

thank you for the reactivated

[Josh]

Please let me know if you have any other problems.

[Icare]

After the update, I still don't understand why there's a clamp on:

shininess = clamp (shininess, 0.1) * 0.5;

 

It reduces the effect of brightness that doesn't make very good glossy effect.

 

A screenshot with the original mesh.frag

 

I removed the clamp

 

How can I do to accentuate the glossy effect ?

[Josh]

The specular intensity is controlled per pixel in the normal map alpha channel.

[Icare]

ok thank, I will put the clamp.

 

It seems that there is more subtlety of this type, are there documents on aspet rendering of engine ?

[Icare]

Me again :-(

 

I have an Acces Violation with the new Material Editor when I click on Compile ...

[Josh]

What shaders do you have selected?

[Icare]

I just try the raod.mat, but if I add mesh_shadow.vert on Shadow Vertex it's Ok, may be it's the map ...

[Naughty Alien]

..just got EMBM just got work nicely with multiple water planes, nice..
