Boss rotating bitmap. Video soon

Vive la france!

I'm still stumped. I was testing with the .5 method and into the 40's and still haven't reached any results.

In action : http://fr.xfire.com/video/501866/



here are the settings of the shader.
bitmap is 128²
I had to cut the plane because there was a part of the reticle going into the upper left corner for no reason

=> This value is only linked with the bitmap.

A strange thing is...whenever I try this animation in a custom sky, it works great. But using those same settings as I did in my sky and convert it over to my vehicle I want it to appear on, I'm not getting anywhere. I wonder why it works with my sky but not my vehicle.

What were the dimensions of the sky bitmap, what were the dimensions of the vehicle bitmap?

The sky and vehicle bitmaps are both 256x256. I even swapped out the sky bitmap with the vehicle bitmap, and the bitmap worked. So I copied the shader and used it in my vehicle just for trials, see if it would work and had no luck.

Hi.Nice tut...but theres another thing i want to know: how can i integrate half lambert into open sauce..imean i already have the shader hlsl code.now if ull look in the open sauce properties there toglleable normal mapping and specular highlights.how can i do the same with my half lambert? iwant to put it in open sauce and toglle it on so it will work on all models without modifying every shader one by one..if someone knows please let me know..cause half lambert was used in Halo3 and this game looked good.

One thing that's clearly missing, an alpha map tutorial using photoshop. Good use of alpha channels for good/better Halo results. Could you make a tutorial on that Wafflez?

That would be most appreciated :)

When you use the red channel in the multi for detail blending, what do you set the detail mask to in the shader?

This is a great tutorial I'm glad you gave it a shot hope you find all the info you need to fill in the blanks

If you cover OS shader model exten hear is a little info on them.

Specular Map.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b108/jackrabbitlight/specexponent_zps22e2bcb0.gif

Coefficient -is the Luminosity texture map that is Applied over the Visible
texture map on an object. It Contains a gray scale grid for use by gray casting or ray Tracing algorithms to tell the renderer how much light that pixel will Absorb and how much it will reflect.

Values OS_Guerrilla uses I'm unsure but I would not go past 2.0

Exponent- the size of the specular hi light spot. Typical values of this rage value from 1 - 500

normal object's have a rage of 5- 20

Values OS_Guerrilla uses I'm unsure but I would not go past 2.0

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for bumping.

What am I wrong about? those definitions came out of a dictionary. It's not like I made them up It's just some info I found when I was trying to learn how to use OS.
