Missing reflection shader

[DudeAwesome]

yep its material editor bug. annoying I know but josh said this should be fix in the latest build

@DudeAwesome :

Last update of today fixed the material editor bug and it works (only generate material function is buggy).

What don't works for me it's the environment shader i modified.

 

@Shadmar :

Could you post your environment shader file ?

[shadmar]

I was using yours when I tested last. Make sure texture4 is a real cubemap.

@Shadmar :

You are right , works better with skymap (i didn't have cubemap check in the sky texture)

[YouGroove]

 

yes, just replace

outcolor = mix(outcolor,texture(texture4,cubecoord),0.5); //mix diffuse with cubemap reflection 50%

 

with

 

outcolor = mix(outcolor,texture(texture4,cubecoord),ex_color.a); //mix diffuse with cubemap reflection based on alpha

 

 

About texture having only some parts with environment it seems not working replacing the line of code.

 

I put the diffuse texture with alpha i used if someone want to test.

Just use the vertex color alpha. (from the color panel)

[shadmar]

But if you want to have reflection based on a alpha pattern from texture, you can use :

 

outcolor = mix(outcolor,texture(texture4,cubecoord),outcolor.a);

What I did to have control over the shininess is make a range of shaders for 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70%

By changing the line "outcolor = mix(outcolor,texture(texture4,cubecoord),0.5); //mix diffuse with cubemap reflection 50%" to that values.

 

Works great

@Shadmar :

How to color the environment map ?

I mean have it gold or silver or copper color when fully reflective.

What line of code in the shader to colorise it if you know how to do it ?

[shadmar]

Just multiply material color-selector to the cubemap texture... vec4(ex_color.rgb,1)

 

so something like this probably

 

outcolor = mix(outcolor,texture(texture4,cubecoord)*vec4(ex_color.rgb,1),outcolor.a);
