Need shader help.

by lunchbox · in Torque Game Engine · 02/26/2009 (6:00 pm) · 3 replies

Im using the shader pack resource, and Im having a nasty lighting issue. Heres an image of it at a angle but then I just turn the camera more head on and I get this , I have tried turning lights off and it only dims the problem. Im trying to go through the dtsbump shader files to see if I cant fix it myself, but its not as easy as I thought.

    Looks like you've got some serious bloom going on there, though it's difficult to see from the pictures. Does the change to the bright lighting happen slowly, or does it appear instantly?

    Its a instant change, and its always the same camera angles that it happens, and the problem disappears when I delete the material info calling for the shader.

    I investigated further and it maybe more embeded then I had thought. I might just have to not do the normal mapped dts's. The lighting issue is related to the camera and the shader. When I zoom in or out it appears to be a circular shaped lighting appearing on the object and it gets bigger or smaller depending on distance. This is on top of the sudden drastic light change too.

    Well if its not one thing its another :). I got the lighting issue resovled, but having trouble with transparency, http://www.brandngames.com/AngelWarsStuff/shot3.jpg as you can see it works fine with the terrain but not the dif there, and it also effects dts's. I've made a few changes to the default tge 1.52 afx 1.0.2 code, mainly the tmk, and shader resource. Any ideas on where in the code the issue might be?
