Title: Buncha Presets
Post by: Raz. on January 12, 2011, 04:11:59 am

(Newest stuff is at the bottom)

...So I thought I might as well show what I've done preset wise too.

These are my first presets, I've never done anything like this before. So here we go:

This one is of Draak. Some of you may recognise the markings from TEF.  That's because he's one of my TEF characters |D

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/DraakPreset.jpg)

He also has heterochromatic eyes which you can see in this WIP screenshot, and my signature:
(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/DAMNTHAT5OCLOCKSHADOW.jpg)

The mane needs work, I'm unsure how to fix it though.




Next up is Ren. Silent helped me with his fur because she's good with tiny detail. He's also from TEF.

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/RENNY4.jpg)

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/RENNY6.jpg)



Third up is Insomnia, he's a little spirit demony thing that causes insomnia.

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/Insomnia3.jpg)

He's going to have a tufty mane but I forgot to put it on him in that screenie.

But it's here on this WIP:
(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/Insomnia2.jpg)


And this last one I probably wont use, as I was just messing around with transparent stuff:
(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/Idontevenlineythingwhats.jpg)




Corvus, another one of my TEF characters. So yeah once again you might recognise his pelt |D

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/SCARSAAA.jpg)

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/Corvus2.jpg)



Just an incredibly quick preset I whipped up so I had an alternate to run around in when testing maps. Saves me from copy pasting alot |DDD </lazy>
(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/GradientPreset.jpg)



Aura, Draak's daughter....yet another from TEF |D (Though I don't/didn't play her mum/Draak's mate. And she's kinda dead :c)
(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/AuraPreset.jpg)

I wanted to try the glowy stuff on a preset so I made this random/non serious character one:
(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/Glowypreset.jpg)

Wow that's awesome. How did you get the transparent one?

Title: Re: Buncha Presets
Post by: Raz. on January 12, 2011, 02:49:34 pm

Thanks ;D

There's some coding you have to add to the Material file, and images must be saved as PNGs if you want transparent things to show up and not go weird, distorted and white O_o.

I discovered it by putting the codes that went with the Mane section into the other sections XD

The text/codes you add are here in bold:
      pass
      {
         lighting on
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off
         texture_unit
         {

How did you blend the grey and white so well on the first one?

Title: Re: Buncha Presets
Post by: Zeberius on January 14, 2011, 04:28:28 pm

By literally blending them with a blending tool? xD

Title: Re: Buncha Presets
Post by: M-Wolf on January 14, 2011, 04:48:09 pm

Oh, I must be using it wrong then because it blends the whole page, lol.

Title: Re: Buncha Presets
Post by: Zeberius on January 14, 2011, 05:01:59 pm

.. that's the gradient tool..
Select the exact area you want to blend. Use it then.

Post by: kvcole on January 14, 2011, 05:07:19 pm

Those are awesome!
What on the U.V mapd did you change to make them transparent?

Zeberius is pretty much right in what I did xD. I used a low opacity brush in Photoshop and then used the smudge tool a little.
But I warn you, trying to line it up is a huge pain x_X

Quote from: Kennedi

Nothing at all. As I explained in a post higher up: You have to save them as PNG files, and in order to make things transparent you just erase what you want to be..well transparent XD instead of colouring the whole thing.

You could probably make "ghosts"/partially transparent presets this way too. I've yet to try it though.

OH and the code you add in the  Material file is also a key thing in making presets transparent.

Feel free to ask if you want any more help c:

Hey Draak, I'm trying to make a preset with some transparency, but it doesn't seem to be working. I copy+pasted your code, but I'm not entirely sure where to put it? (My images are saved as PNGs.)
Anyway, I'm new to presets and all that, could you be a little more clear as to what to do with that code? Thanks!

Title: Re: Buncha Presets
Post by: Raz. on January 25, 2011, 02:22:50 am

Hi there, hmmm alright, I'll try and explain it the best I can for you.

Open up your Material file.

Find the section you want to make transparent or have transparencies on.

(I'll paste an example here) This would be if you wanted to make something on the head transparent.

BEFORE:
material preset_3_headMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture Raz_DraakHead.png
         }
      }
   }
}

(I'm also using a different code now which works better compared to the old one)
AFTER:

material preset_3_headMatL
{
      receive_shadows on
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
                     ambient 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000
                    diffuse 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000
                     specular 0.050000 0.050000 0.050000 1.000000 12.500000
                     emissive 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000
                    cull_hardware none
                     cull_software none
                     scene_blend alpha_blend
             alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
                     texture_unit
         {
            texture Raz_DraakHead.png
                         tex_address_mode wrap
                         filtering trilinear
         }
      }
   }
}

Just copy and paste that whole chunk of new code into whatever part you want to have inviso-bits on XDDD. And change the file names and such since this'd be for Draak |D

I hope that helps c:

O_o D: *prods forum* I'll try resending what I've discovered in a separate PM.

Title: Re: Buncha Presets
Post by: KiraraNeko on January 27, 2011, 01:22:03 am

I'm sorry, PMs don't seem to be working for me I guess :C You got my original private message though, right? It had the screen shots in it?
I didn't mean to make things more complicated x___x I guess I'll just continue to post things here on your thread instead.

Title: Re: Buncha Presets
Post by: Raz. on January 27, 2011, 02:10:37 am

D: yeah I got your original message. 8o I think you should let the staff know about this PM problem.

I've partially managed to make it work but it's not 100% as you can see here:
(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/PhoenixGryphon/FH%20Stuff/Almost.jpg)

It looks kinda odd and funky in places. But it's a start. Also I only made the body transparentish not the rest.

(This forum needs Spoiler tag things to avoid stretching the page |D)

But here's the whole Material file I used:

material preset_2_bodyMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting on
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2body.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_bodyMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting on
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2body.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_headMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting on
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write on
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2head.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_headMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting on
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write on
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2head.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_eyeMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting on
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2eye.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_eyeMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting on
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2eye.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_tailMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting on
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2tail.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_maneMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2mane.png
         }
      }
   }
}

And yeah, I used the old code because something went strange when I used the new one. This is the closest I've gotten in trying to replicate a partially transparent preset.
