Title: Preset help? Please?
Post by: Hawkspot2 on July 16, 2018, 08:38:48 pm

Okay, so I made this preset a little while ago, and I just edited it to have an invisible leg. I went to try the preset, never noticed the error until I exported it. I have sence checked the invisibility coding, and from what I can tell it is fine. But this error is still present. Any advice?

Sorry for all the pictures.

Can you please send images of the .png file and the coding using the [*code]? It will be easier to view the code that way, rather than a picture. And, it seems there is a random floating texture there. I want to make sure.

You can also try using this code ^^

Code: [Select]

material preset_#_bodyMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#body.png
}
}
}
}

Alright, I think I know what's going on. I don't believe it's the coding, but the mesh. There appears to be something that looks like an artifact on the paw of the feline model which causes this problem; this issue isn't present on the canine model.

I don't know if it's fixable, but I'll try to find what the UVs are for this portion of the paw and let you know if you can fix it by erasing them.

Okay thank you! It seems to be on the 'wrist' part though. If that makes sense.

I'm so sorry, but it doesn't look like it can be fixed without modifying the mesh.

As you can see from the left side, there is a planar triangle inside the paw of the feline model. The UVs on the right side show that this small triangle has a large area of the body assigned to it.

I know this isn't the answer you were expecting, and I am sorry that this isn't something that's easily fixable.

Edit: What you could do would be to switch the left and right sides of your body in the material file. That way, your "invisible" leg would be on the left side. I don't think there were any artifacts in the left paw that would cause problems.

This confuses me even more to be honest. I've made presets with missing limbs in the past, and I have never come to this complication. So, you're saying it's the model itself? Would it be different if the invisibility part was on the other side of the body?

Yes. Only the front paw on the right side has this problem. All of the other 3 legs are fine.

Okay, I'll try switching preset sides. Thank you. ^^
