Fog still not working properly

#1 Yea... i dropped the ball on that one.

Try this fix.

In materials/processedShaderMaterial.cpp around line 270 in function ProcessedShaderMaterial::_determineFeatures()...

if ( mMaterial->mColorMultiply[stageNum].alpha > 0 )
      fd.features.addFeature( MFT_ColorMultiply );

   if ( lastStage && 
         ( !gClientSceneGraph->usePostEffectFog() || // CHANGED!
           fd.features.hasFeature( MFT_IsTranslucent ) ) ) // CHANGED!
      fd.features.addFeature( MFT_Fog );

   if ( mMaterial->mMinnaertConstant[stageNum] > 0.0f )
      fd.features.addFeature( MFT_MinnaertShading );

That sould fix it.

#2 I am rather busy right now, but as soon as I have some spare time I will give it a try. Thanks Tom.

Edit: It worked Tom. I only had to turn of transparent Z-write at the material of the leaves. Thanks again.

#3 Tom,
Had the same issue with a number of different models using transparency on the leaves. Applied the fix you mention above.
Also turned off transparent z-write and still no joy.

#4 @David:

I also changed this in the material file

alphaTest = true;  // default value
   alphaRef = 120;   // alpha less than 128 in brightness (255 is max) will not be rendered

or you can change it in the material editor.

#5 ok...Also needed to make the transparency type to "none" I was using Sub which was quite nice with double sidedness but once I went to none all was fine. (Though with trees I can't go dou

So it seems alpha-blending isn't a go for leaves

#6 @David - You could use alpha blending for leaves, but you won't get shadows.

In an upcoming version of T3D... 1.2 i think.... we plan to implement a brand new technique that will allow alpha blending with shadows for at least 3 layers of transparency.
