TSE Relief Mapping?

#141 I got it working. The normal map was overdone. If you turn up the contrast on your heightmap and have a really bumpy normal map you can get that effect. There was no reflection added but it did make the bricks look like they had a thick coat of plastic on them.

#142 Thats not what puzzles me. Its the reflection of something green on the stone in up middle which looks like a reflection of the OGRE if this is what you are using as model ...

#143 I dont see any green and there is no models. Not getting what your saying really..

#144 I think I see what Marc means.

...maybe it's just a part of the texture that has been emphasized due to the shader distortion?

#145 I think it is just distortion. That hapens if the source texture was ever jpeg'ed. You will get some collor shifting and then the shader is just distoring it in a way that sor t of magnifies it.

#146 Doom 3 is relief :-)

#147 @Matt

I have tried your parallax shader with dynamic light and I added a light object to the scene and it didnt effect the shadows on the shader. It seems that only the sun effects the shadows on the shader. How can I get light objects to work with the shader?

#148 Could you post a screenshot to show what you're talking about?

#149
The light is in the middle but the shadows are pointed toward the sun. The shadowing on it makes no sense. When i move the elevation of the sun the shadows on the shape move but when I move the light the shadows stay the same and the shape just gets brighter like that in the picture. Any idea whats wrong?

#150 No idea. Are you using sgLightObjects and are you sure you set up your shaders/materials correctly? Does it react to different light colors? (Try red or green for example) That's the way you'd know it's working.

#151 Bump*

any progress on thiis did you guys ever get the dynamic lighting working?

#152 @Matt : long time has passed and I forgot to ask you a thing...

What's the difference between ParallaxDL and ParallaxDynamic in terms of result?

Tnx ;)

#153 ParallaxDL is the default parallax shaders, while ParallaxDynamic is the dynamic lighting parallax shaders.

#154 Ok I've understood ;)
I'd like to ask you if you have some time to take a look at this thread...

I really can't understand what is going wrong with my material script function...

:(

#155 Does it compile successfully? From first glance, it looks like you might have some parsing errors there. The materials seem like they'd be setup fine, it just looks like your strings aren't setup correctly.

#156 Hi Matt! Thanks so much for taking a look at it...

Yes, I was supposing exactly this, in particular I have suspects that the problem is with the line

...
      "texture[2] = \"$lightmap\";" @
 ...

Since the normal matarial setup put $lightmap within brackets I use the escape character \ to avoid closure of my code brackets but I'm not sure this work... probably not :-\

The strange thing as said is that sometimes the material worked (few times) and sometimes not...
After that also doing the material setup in the normal way doesn't work...
After that I also tryed deleting before all the procedurally generated shaders but again doesn't work...

I will investigate and post about it in the thread
