Realistic Blood Effect

Here is an ffp shader (fixed-function pipeline shader, these work on virtualy any video car) for a realistic blood stain effect :

Here's the code

----------------------

material bloodeffect
{
effect="
technique burn
{
pass p0
{
AlphaBlendEnable=true;
//ColorOp[0.n] = Subtract;
srcblend=destcolor;
destblend=invsrcalpha;
}
}";
}

----------------------

^^ nice, u use that in ur own game I think i'll use it.. [You gain Bookmark]

yeah, thats a splatter sprite:)

Heh, that's a lot of blood.

Thanks for the good contribution.. But am afraid I know nothing from that code u typed.. what is that all about, and how can i use it???????

Yea, im a noob at this stuff, can u give me a short tutorial on how to use it? thanks! and the blood effects looks cool!

It's very simple.
You put this somewhere in your script:


material bloodeffect
{
effect="
technique burn
{
pass p0
{
AlphaBlendEnable=true;
//ColorOp[0.n] = Subtract;
srcblend=destcolor;
destblend=invsrcalpha;
}
}";
}



and add this action to the sprite:

action bloodsprite
{
my.material = bloodeffect;
}

cool, but also i dont know what the matrial shader thing youre talking about is. what exactly does it do? and what happnes after i put the action on the sprite?

yeah Mate, as Sparten said, we have no idea about the material shaders. Please give a short description

lol, ok, well if you've played either HL2 or Doom3 you'll see that the blood in those games look real,as it's dark and it blend onto the surface it's on, notice the differance between this and just a maroon sprite. Try it one a srite to see the before and after afters.

@ DragonXdark: I see you're very good in painting bloody splatters but maybe these two Photoshop brushes could improve your work (AB Set 1 & 2):

actaully that is a brush from angry blue, their just over lapping each other...It's the material effect I'm showing off..not the sprite. thanks all the same for the link though

so i just put the sprite in my level, put the action on it, then the sprite willl look realisitc like in hl2? how do u make it so u use this action so that the blood comes out of the enemies and stuff like that?

DragonXdark has posted some code for this before. Please use the search button for the forums... it's there for a reason!

@DragonXdark nice contribution.
