Notepad.

For validating GLSL shaders I use glslValidate from 3DLabs (they aren't offering it anymore).

@djes: That was the first example I've looked when I was going deeper into OGRE. So there's no need to be sad.

Maybe you could write those links into your topic:
OGRE Manual - Table of contents
Automatically defined shader variables ...

oops


and thanks!

I should've known you would've done something as you made that cool water demo too

I don't see the option to generate material files in Notepad!

Just kidding.

Update



Now it works with an variable number of lights through multipass rendering.
And I've done some changes.

Same link, new luck (Clear your cache):

wow DD, this is a very good sample.

Another nice example, Daniel!.

What I'm a little puzzed over is the form of the light on all your examples. It seems to have a radial quality to it in that as the object rotates you see a line of light running up the center.

I remember once seeing a material with a similar quality in Maya, I think it's name was Blinn. I imagine it'll be good for metalic materials.

Hello Daniel

Normalmapping.pb crashes PB4.40(x86) during compilation. Any idea why?

...Ah, it's because Engine3D.dll is in the Project Folder, so not a problem!

Nice work!

But... ... and nothing. Why?

I believe you need to give your mesh tangents. After you create your mesh try BuildMeshTangents(#Mesh).

I also think Parse3DScripts() needs to go after your Add3DArchives, but before you load the material script.

Code: Select all

    Add3DArchive(PathToScripts$, #PB_3DArchive_FileSystem)
    Add3DArchive(PathToTextures$, #PB_3DArchive_FileSystem)
    Parse3DScripts()

    CreateCube(0, 8)
    BuildMeshTangents(0)

    GetScriptMaterial(0, "Normalmap")

    CreateEntity(0, MeshID(0), MaterialID(0))

Thanks S! I have PB 5.11 and no have this command.
But I saw this text on the OGRE wiki: http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/tiki-ind ... umpMapping

Important Hint: To use bumpmapping, we'll need tangent vectors for our meshes.

OGRE can do this for you ahead of time if you use the '-t' parameter to the command line tools OgreXmlConverter or OgreMeshUpgrade.

I'll try and report.

In the past I've used OgreXmlConverter to add tangents to my meshes. It's pretty easy, but it can be time consuming if you have a lot of meshes to alter.

I believe that will be around a thousand.
