[QUESTION] Glossy / shiny / plastic effect?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Quezako:
Ok, I've finally got it! :)

In fact, I had to modify many values in the .skin file.
I've been looking for the .skin infos here: http://www.pxr.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php ... ture_units

1. I had to find which textureUnit is assigned to the body. I found this by looking at the submesh field and in the submeshes, findind the one with the most triangles. I suppose it is th submesh #0 by default.

2. I've changed the following values in the textureUnit:
- TEXUNITFLAGS: 144
- order (shader_id): 32769
- d4 (op_count): 2

The flag 144 is not documented, but it is the one used in the Murloc model.
shader_id and op_count seem to be introduced in WoW 5.0.
shader_id 32769 seems to be the glossy shader effect.
op_count 2 is for loading 2 textures, one over the other.

Thanks a lot for your help guys! Now I've got a wonderful plastic Darkhound with a stick! :D

EDIT: the TEXUNITFLAGS doen't need to be changed, it can be set to 16.
There is no need to touch the renderFlags, as it is a shader effect, I suppose.
The 16,4 renderFlags is usefull if you want to make transparent models.

Pinkhair3d:
Good to know!

Vesageough:
I was looking for that!

But I'm trying to apply this kind of effect on Characters, it seems the way textures are loaded is a lot different.
I suppose I have to look at the .dbc files?
I'm trying to do this on the new WoD HD models.

Rangorn:
Nice, i think i will to try some renderflags/effects on WoD :)

When doing Draenei HD Female model to cata, i have made a mistake with some submesh
What happened ? Draenei face with a light inside her head :D

the Renderflags was 0,4 i think

Soldan:
Also, I can't remember the order - but if your reflect has a black background or a white background in the BLP, it could make it "not work". If so, change the blending mode to either 4 or 6, depending what you have on.
