Well i have this model and i want it bumpmapped in view1 and let's say pure red in view2. Is this possible? I looked through the manual and came up with material.enable_tree .

My code:

Code:

---

 material mat_diff{
	effect = "Diffuse.fx";
}

material mat_red{
	effect = "red.fx";
}

function thevent(){
	if(render_view == camera){my.material = mat_diff;}
	if(render_view == depth_cam){my.material = mat_red;}
	//if(render_view == camera){my.transparent = off;}
	//if(render_view == depth_cam){my.transparent = on;}
	return(0);
}

material mat_test{
	flags = ENABLE_TREE;
	event = thevent;
	

}

action render_entity{
	my.material = mat_test;
} 

---

When changing my.transparent = on/off, everything works fine. But as soon as i try to change the material, the model is either red or has diffuse lightning in both views. help ^^

ent_mtlset (ENTITY* entity,MATERIAL* material, var skin);
Replaces skin lighting and skin effect of a model

When using ent_mtlset instead of "my.material = ..." i get a black screen and nothing happens. When commenting the 1st or 2nd "if(render_view..." out, i get ingame, but the material doesn't get changed.

My guess by now is, that it isn't possible to use 2 different shaders for 2 views (shader1 for view1 and shader2 for view2) for one entity. Can someone confirm this?

The thing is, i need this stuff to render a depthmap in view2 and then use it for a DoF shader. Both the depthmap-shader and DoF-shader are working, but i can't get it to work that an entity renders different in 2 views.

Hm..

I've used my.material = xxx to change materials before during runtime. But I havn't had to do it between renders...

Are you sure that it wasn't working correctly?

Ah, haha...

I found the error...


theevent() sets the models material to mat_diff.red - therefore, it's material is NO LONGER mat_test. So therefore theevent() is no longer triggered!

So you just need to add the same flags/event you used in mat_test to the other two materials

YEAH! That's it =) It works!

Exspect a real Depth of Field Shader very soon
