Preset Question

[Veenus]

Anyone have the script to masking a preset for multiple effects? I don't remember it, I'm just in need of the script! Thanks!

Hello! Here's a big list of scrips that Lucius had posted: https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=61962

Hope it helps!

It's not exactly what I'm looking for, I've looked through the preset tutorials. The effect I'm looking for isn't really a effect, it's more of a mask to produce different types of effects. For example, glowing and scrolling can't be combined together(Script wise) so to have a scrolling marking with a glowing mark you mask it. I'm searching for the script to mask the effects to have both on the same part.

What effect are you looking to get? Different combinations might not even need masks. And as far as I'm aware, you can have scrolling and glowing on the same pass, that shouldn't be an issue.

Second, the more effects / textures you stack and isolate with masking, the more passes you'll need if you have attributes that affect the whole pass rather than texture_unit attributes.

If you're looking for the general, all-purpose masking script, then use this:

Code: [Select]

material preset_1_headMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture INITIAL TEXTURE
}
}
pass
{
scene_blend alpha_blend
alpha_rejection greater 128
texture_unit
{
texture MASK.png
}
texture_unit
{
texture MASK.png             
colour_op alpha_blend
}
texture_unit
{
texture TEXTURE YOU WANTED MASKED.jpg
colour_op_ex blend_current_alpha src_texture src_current
}
}
}
 }

Thank you! This is what I needed and it is two separate markings, so it does need the masking v-v I suppose anyways.

I don't know what your preset concept is, so I can't say for sure if you need the masking for the scrolling texture, but you probably don't need it for the glow.

Ruby just stacks the glowing .PNG texture in a separate pass: Updated 9/16/16 Material Coding for Beginners! Glow, metal, transparent, more!

Less textures for you to worry about, but if that's not the case then feel free to ignore this.

I think i left an emissive (glow) scrolling mask in this thread where it has flame paws  https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=61508.0
