I created a lamp shade, and as we all already know the illumination map does not work. Ok .. I tried to leave the light bulb, white, and put a light right above ... but the result is really horrible ..... does anyone know when fpscr will support the illumination map? or will be improved lighting system?
And as you can see (as I posted in another message) transparency does not work

The software I use? ... Autocad, sketchup, Spazio3D, pconplanner, Kerkythea, wing3d, paint.net.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe 1.008 has illumination map support. And I thought there was some shader code floating around that had an implementation right now, but not sure on that one. It was one that came with the water shader effect so you should search that thread.

Simply place your texture_I.dds alongside your texture_D.dds, _N.dds and _S.dds and V1.008 will pick up this texture and apply illumination map to your entity. Any issues, let me know!

So, is this just using the standard entiy_basic.fx? Or do you have to apply the illumination.fx?

Standard entity shader and the character shader both use this.

Checking now.



Edit:

Tested and video recorded using the standard entity shader.







Appears to be working properly.

Will have to experiment. It all about the masking in the _I texture as to which gets the illumination.

I will get back to you on this. As it would be nice to know it works with all colors.

I know rolfy has a picture posted of his demon with glowing colored eyes using the character shader.

Illumination map is black/white, the colour is in the diffuse texture.

You should make those bluish areas of your _I map white, if you were to greyscale that image these areas would likely be more grey than white which isn't giving you full bright illumination, you may also need to use a little ambience and surface colour.

This only works for color with a light source over it.
I have some screen shots I will post in the morning. To tired to process the screen capture shots.

Maybe there will be a solution by my morning. This is with the standard entity shader.
