How do a simple alpha + diffuse ?????

[Icare]

Hi,

 

I tear my hair with the management of alpha on leadwerks and his world of transparency ... I hope that in 3.0 we will return to some more traditional, because it is really crippling the user of this engine.

 

Below is an effect of one of our project with Filax that has been done in blitzbasic ...It's a simple alpha texture + color texture with blend and we translate the color texture to have reactor effect ...

 

How I can do this with leadwerks ?

Hi Nicolas,

 

I don't really know the answer, but i wanted to tell you your screenshot is great. i like it.

 

Well i have not seen many people here writing futuristic space games, most people here want to write an FPS with classic guns and don't require this effect.

 

From my experience i think you'll have to use a shader to achieve this. leadwerks relies heavily on shaders. With shaders you can easily translate textures. Go and see in the old forum and search for "texture offset"

 

for example, someone there wanting to animate tank tracks was hinted to use shaders too http://www.leadwerks.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5343&p=45713&hilit=texture+offset#p45713

 

The old forum is read only, but can de a gold mine for answers even if the engine changed alot since then.

 

Good luck with your game, i hope someone better skilled with shaders than me will answer you and provide a sample.

Yeah likewise, great in game screenshot. Very impressive! Josh would be by far the best person to advise on this question on texture blending. Hopefully he'll respond fairly soon!

something like this perhaps:

 

texture0="abstract::bricks.dds"
texture1="abstract::moss.dds"
overlay=1
blend=alpha
shader="abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap.vert","abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_specular.frag"
shadowshader="abstract::mesh_shadow.vert"
