Drawing all objects with a single shader?

by Manoel Neto · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 01/11/2006 (6:47 pm) · 2 replies

I'm starting work on depth shadows, and I need a way to override the material settings for all objects and use a single one for drawing only to the Z-buffer. Is that possible without some major hacks (if there need be hacks, where should I look at)?

That's a real pain right now. However, with the batching changes coming up, this will be relatively easy to do, if you can wait for it.

So... it seems I'm in for some trouble. But since we'll only use DTS and a custom interior format in our project, I can hack the TSMesh to setup some sort of material override.
