Choosing Shaders from 3DS MAX.

software


Choosing Shaders from 3DS MAX.

Different shaders should have unique names. To specify shader name from MAX you should use 's_' prefix for material name. For example - shader 's_HeroHand1'. Shader name isn't case sensitive. As usual shader template choosing automatically and depends on material properties. For example if we specify only diffuse and bump textures -automatically selected TemplBumpDiffuse_NOCM template. If we specify additionally specular hightlights TemplBumpSpec_NOCM will be selected. But some time we need possibility to specify template manually. For example we cannot use template TemplBumpDiffuse_NOCM for big non-tesselated polygons (indoor areas). In this case we can specify template name in round brackets. For example: 's_HeroHand1(TemplBumpDiffuse)'.



Light sources from 3DS MAX.

Engine supports Point light sources without  attenuation, Point light sources with attenuation and Projected light sources without attenuation.

  • If you specify in MAX Projector Texture for light source engine always creates Projected light source (no attenuation for indoor shaders, vertex attenuation for outdoor shaders);
  • If you specify in MAX Omni light engine creates Point light source (with attenuation or without);

NOTE For outdoor shaders (Plants, Terrain, Entities .) projected lights use vertex attenuation.

All light sources should have substring "_ls" in name.

All heat sources should have substring "_hs" in name.

For example: light with name is  $1_ls_blabla is light source

light with name is $1_hs_blabla is heat source

light with name is $1_ls_hs_blabla is light source and heat source simultaneously.

Animated textures from 3DS MAX.

Each texture you specify in MAX can be animated. For animated textures used follow format:

prefix ns_nesuffix time), where

prefix - start of the texture name,

## - means digits of animated sequence (two characters # mean two digits of animated sequence),

ns_ne - this is just first and last numbers of animated sequence respectively.

suffix - optional end of texture name.

Time - optional time of single frame in seconds (default value is 0.05 seconds = 50 ms).

For example, texture animated format Explode##00_12Bar(0.01)

Means it will be used textures with names: Explode00Bar, Explode01Bar, Explode02Bar,., Explode12Bar Animated with speed 10 ms per frame).

Also it's possible to use such format: sta00##. In this case engine will try to load all textures from name sta0000 until last texture file available.

Procedural textures from 3DS MAX.

In MAX you can specify name of procedure as ambient color texture J. All procedures applied only on diffuse texture. Important note: Size of procedure should be not more than 256x256 and should be the same as size of diffuse texture. Otherwise engine will ignore procedure and put warning to the console. All procedures descriptions is in folder Shaders/Scripts/CryShaders/Procedures.

Detail textures from 3DS MAX.

In MAX you can specify detail texture as filter color map. For detail textures you can set U and V tiling separately. In the engine detail textures use per-pixel blending (depend on the distance) and multi-layering technology. Yo can change desired distance using console variable "r_DetailDistance" (default distance is 4). Number of layers you can easily change using variable "r_DetailNumLayers". There is some optimization in renderer that don't allow to draw detail layers on far objects. Detail layers can be use in indoor environments.

Transparency and alpha-test.

With new MAX material plugin (Crytek Shader) it's possible to change material global transparency by specifying opacity value. 100% means non-transparent at all (full opaque). 0% means full transparent (invisible). By default engine use alpha-blending for transparency. But you can use Additive Blending instead by setting corresponding check box. Alpha-test is optimized version of alpha-blending. If Alpha-test value isn't zero render device reject pixels that less then this value. Big difference between alpha-testing and alpha-blending is alpha-test allow writing to Z-buffer and as result alpha-tested polygons allow receiving of stencil shadows and work well using multi-pass rendering (multiple light sources for example).

IMPORTANT NOTES: Alpha blended polygons don't support multiple passes. For example it will not work with multiple light sources wit per-pixel lighting. Renderer automatically truncate number of light sources to 1 if multiple light sources affect alpha-blended polygon. Alpha-blended polygons cannot receive stencil shadows.

Decals.

With new MAX material plugin (Crytek Shader) there is possibility to specify overlay decal texture for the material. For decal texture you can specify tiling, offset and rotating in texture map properties.

Generating of Cube Maps.

All refraction/reflec 434t1913e tion shaders require CubeMaps to work properly. Generally we have two types of refract/reflect shaders with cubemaps.

  1. Real-time refract/reflect shaders (require render to 6 sides of cube-map of environment scene. This shader names contain "EnvCM" in the end name. For Example "TemplGlassEnvCM")
  2. Precalculated refract/reflect shaders (This shaders is much faster and don't require to draw to the cube-map. Instead of realtime cube-maps the shaders use custom cube-maps textures and contain "CM" in the end of name. For Example "TemplGlassCM").

As you can see for static objects is much better to use custom cube-maps instead of realtime ones. To prepare custom cube-map you need to apply to the object real-time shader (like "TemplGlassEnvCM"), then run the game or the editor (but not the previewer), and using console command r_EnvCMWrite=1 you can save cube-map on the disk (it will be 6 textures in MasterCD root directory with names: Cube_negx.jpg, Cube_posx.jpg, Cube_negy.jpg, Cube_posy.jpg,

Cube_negz.jpg, Cube_posz.jpg. After this you can preprocess this images (reduce size, convert to another format, .), rename it and then you have to change the shader for the object in MAX to use custom cube-map (like "TemplGlassCM"), and specify generated cube-map in refraction/reflection map slot in MAX materials properties.
