Re: The Snow and Ice of Uncharted2?
Lamont, yep, I was thinking the same thing. Could even just be a drop-shadow or something I guess. However this sort of thing makes the shader more complex (and expensive - although I have no idea how expensive it even is at the moment by current shader standards!). I messed up something tonight though and appear to have… -
Re: The Snow and Ice of Uncharted2?
I have been working on vertex blending for a while now, and this thread has helped me alot. I have taken the techniques discussed and added a bit more functionality to the shader that MoP was working on. I was thinking to myself, why not use the other 3 channels of the vertex color constant as inputs for other… -

http://www.youtube.com/user/OffsetSoftware#p/u/7/5KH7Wbi0clo Neat video from Project Offset, showing some vertex blending used on a building. Looks like they can paint vertex colors in-engine too. Also looks like they are using one of their RGB channels to provide some type of "darkening", probably just to make fake… -
Re: The Snow and Ice of Uncharted2?
Cool stuff Shadows, this was exactly the kind of stuff I knew this type of thing would be good for :) Here's a video of my .fx shader in action, I sorted out the vertexcolour trashing tonight, I still need to double-check my maths on the mask method because it's not quite what I think it should be.… -
Re: The Snow and Ice of Uncharted2?
Ah, yeah, so it seems the technique they used is exactly what we've come up with here anyway... good to know :) -
Re: The Snow and Ice of Uncharted2?
Really cool looking Mop, can you post a screenshot of the nodes? I'm curious on how you went about to get the sharpness of the blending to work. -
Re: The Snow and Ice of Uncharted2?
This thread made me take a break from AC2, controller is on my lap. But what I'd like to see is mop his node setup for shader FX, since we're learning this at school, and I think this technique is awesomeness, I'd like to take a look at it. -
Re: The Snow and Ice of Uncharted2?
Hehe ! You were faster than me to post this mate ;) Interesting post that I'll follow. PS : As I said to you earlier I think it's a mix between "magical shader " (funny word :D ) and decals ... Come on Naughty dog's guys tell us more about this ;) -
Re: The Snow and Ice of Uncharted2?
Ah, I see. I've tweaked my shader a bit now so that the vertex alpha can be used to control the falloff of the blending (0 or black = tight blend, 1 or white = soft blend), which provides a lot of variation fairly cheaply (and painting vert alpha is nicer than having to paint red for coverage and green for falloff, it just… -
Re: The Snow and Ice of Uncharted2?
Hm guys I can't seem to get the whole Mesh paint working. Whats the secret word? :D I copied one of the materials from this thread and it seems to work. But I don't get how to get the information to the Vertex color node... Very new to all this so if someone could explain. Thanks in advance! Edit: And btw. Is there a…
