Transparent Textures
Transparent Textures
You know what would be REALLY cool? Having transparent textures (i.e. textures that have transparent parts and solid parts elsewhere, like paint on a glass).
Re: Transparent Textures
2 possibilities:
1. look at village map, hirato does mixing glass material with mapmodels there
2. create a window mapmodel with transparent textures

Re: Transparent Textures
for anything besides grass and models, the alpha channel is read as a specularity map
so if you want transparency, you'll have to do it via transparent textures on grass and models

Re: Transparent Textures
btw: whats visually the difference between normal maps and depth maps?
Re: Transparent Textures
filewise, normal maps are quite blue, depth maps, being the alpha channel of a normal map, are grayscale if provided on their own.offtools wrote:btw: whats visually the difference between normal maps and depth maps?
rendering wise, normal maps are mainly more detailed lighting, and parallax maps (the depth), provide more detailed lighting plus fakes displacement on the texture, to make it look more "3D"
there's a high chance I'm wrong here

Re: Transparent Textures
Does anyone know how to make doors wich you can only go trough one way? I have seen those in sauerbraten.
Re: Transparent Textures
How? Please unfold this mystery to me. This is unfamiliar territory...Hirato wrote: you'll have to do it via transparent textures on grass and models
Re: Transparent Textures
transparent textures are possible with the new cube engine release. so i guess, we have it already in the svn. more info here:

Re: Transparent Textures
Please, tell me, how can i put a 3d model with transparent surfaces into PAS. If i'm going to import a lamp model with a glass plafond, and i need to make the bulb seen behind the glass (i have a model of that kind), what shoud i do?
In fact, a short tutorial is needed...
