textures and shaders dispacement info

[Leon]

Hi I'm experimenting tand learning leadwerks and I learning to import static models for enviroments and I'm trying to import some dexsoft models specifically scifi corriidors..

 

I managed to import all assets and crete a polymesh for them.

 

materials where automatically created but I managed them to apply additioal textures come with models like specular, emissive ect...

 

So at this point I have some question about I must correctly place textures into material editor

 

I know I must apply diffuse, normal, specular,, but for other textures I have heightmap, emissive, and opacity textures and I dont know where I must to place them to have them correctly dispaied

 

I'm putting heightmap texture into dispacement field but emissive and opacity where must I put them??

 

specifically opacity textures that must give transparency for grates to filter th light

 

 

where must I put these textures and wiich shader must i use to have them works correctly??

 

I just read all offical guide but not found answer to my questions..

 

some image

 

this is the correct result I want to have

 

 

 

these are some pictures of what I have now

Textures using alpha transparceny need to be set to dxt5.

In the material you also need to set the diffuse shader to diffuse+alphamask. This depends on whether the texture has black parts that need to be removed or whether it contains transparency.

thanks ,I done waht you tom me and set the .op texture as dxt5 abnd set the shader as diffuse+alphamask but I continue to have the black hole into the grind that dont give me transaperency I need

 

but what I dont know even if where must I place (what fiekd position,eg. displacemnt, texture5, texture6 etc) that texture into material editor...

[AggrorJorn]

I am not sure since I haven't test tested it, but the there are 2 alpha mask shaders available. diffuse + normal+alphamask and Diffuse+normal+specular+alphamask. Since you provided a specular map, I would also choose the shader with the specular. If that doesnt work, remove the displacement map.

[Leon]

doesnt work

 

I have texture fo chain material

 

chain_d

chain_n

chain_s

chain_h

chain_op

 

in put

chain_d into diffuse texture field

chain_n unt normal texture field

chain_s into specular texture field

chain_h into displacement texture field...but I dot know if it is correct

chain_op into texture 4 field but I dont know if it is correct too...

 

but I have this result

 

I tried with al shader but I always have the black border

What shader and blendmode are you using?

Show the Properties tab.

[Leon]

I tried with all shaders and all blendmodes.....

in the image above blendmode was Solid...

I know i wrong something but I dont know what...LOL

[shadmar]

Show the Properties tab.

[Leon]

solved ......manyThanks to mackkebee that is chat tell me waht I must do to

 

I simply changed the diffuse texture to Dxt5 compression and applied the diffuse+normal+specular+alphamask.shader and all wordk fine

 

 

a quesiton fo you shadmar...

 

if I have and emissive txture where must it ( texture field in material editor) to correct diplay the effect??

 

macklebee tell me that engine dont hae emisive shader to default but I must downlaod your glossy shader..right??

 

and after I have th shader ...where must I place the texture and what setting must i to use???

 

thanks in advance..

[macklebee]

yeah i misspoke - was thinking of shadmar's glow that was in the workshop... I didnt see the emissive shader... for emissive the texture slot is 4

[shadmar]

Glow shader is called :

diffuse+normal+specular+emission.shader

 

Glowmap goes in texture4 slot yes

[Leon]

ok...

 

I obtained the texture transparency but If I put a light after a grate the light dont filter trought the grate holes as the grate is solid...

[macklebee]

Use the 'shadow+alphamask.shader' for the material's shadow shader - just like it was setup for the chain.material.

[Leon]

tried but doesnt work

 

edit...work..not as _I guess b..ut works...
