Gims EVO, Terrain shader.

[Michno]

So i've been testing out the terrain shader religiously these past days. and i've come to a halt i've tried every single thing i could think off

Multiple UV maps
Vertex Colors
Different shader paramerteres.

And i simple cant get any other outcome than this.

Any help will be greatly appriciated.

Edit 4:

Got it working ^^ Thanks to Luca

Basicly each channel is controlled like this

Illumination - Shader controller BLACK - BLUE - GREEN - CYAN is a different texture
Color - Not sure but leave this as PINK Seems to control the illumination
Alpha just as normal Alpha it hides the mesh in places BLACK = Transparent Red = Visible


Also use the vertexpaint modifer. 3 of them is enough. one on each channel.

It would be very nice too see different terrain shaders research and/or tutorial in a topic like this

I will update this thread if i find any news ^^

[Mr.Arrow]

For what are you trying to achieve here? Can you be more explicit please.

I want blended textures. You know how the terrain uses several different textures blended ontop of each other. I would give an example but i'm at another pc currently.<

 

i'm working on converting maps from asetto corsa. and i want to shine those maps up. with blended textures. lights and so on.

The only thing left i need to figure out is the terrain shader. everything else seems to work.
well grass fur doesnt show up either actually.



I will see if i can use teamviewer to send it 2 min

But in anycase Jestic. i've tried all of the shaders. and none of them seems to show anything besides the black thing.

And i've got 3 uv layers on this file.

The Vcol i expect to be vertex colors wich i also have.

These are the .bounds and .mesh

 

I see that vertex colors says none. but i did assign them in blender.

How can there not be any UV data when i've got assigned textures that show ?

Just wondering ty for taking the time to answer


Also note that the mesh is just a test mesh for me to be able to test and export quickly



In anycase thanks for the help ^^ atleast this gives me some ideas of what to look for.

Just to show that it should have a UV map



Ahhh alright so the 0 in the mesh is basicly what the bottom texture will be applied to ?

Alright. thanks for the help, seems to be the same results so far tho.

Here are the new files if anyone is interested.

Small update for anyone following this.


No changes so far i found out that blender has some issues with their vertex color so i tried using 3ds max for making the plane. it didint change anything sadly.
i am now trying to use a normal gta v model to use my own textures on. if i cant get that to work. i think it may have something to do with how i load the terrain in.

[Michno]

Figured it out !

All that needed to be changed was the name of the UV channel ^^

it needs to be UVChannel_001



Seems i still need to change some stuff as this only fixed some of the issues ^^ but it's a step in the right direction

Blended textures would be fantastic on custom maps. I hope you continue to make progress.

 

It will definitely make the maps look more natural, and less artificial.

[Michno]

Still doing work. ^^ i got alot of it working. 3ds seems to be needed. and have 2 layers of vertex colors. one color and one illumination.

[Michno]

Still trying to make progress. Not much is working tho. ripping my hair out here.

Any help will be greatly appricated.

[Michno]

Got it working. Look in the top for more info ^^

Huge thanks to Luca for the help. without him i woudent have made it work
