Hello,

when I try to make my models look more flat-shaded nothing happens.
I tried to use a material.

When I change the "Specular" in MED`s D3D-Lightning the preview changes, but
when I try to do the same in the engine (by using a material) nothing happens.

Why?
How can I make things more flat-shaded?

I just noticed that there is no model - shading at all in my game.
Is there a way to turn it on?
I want it to look like it does in MED.

i am not sure about this..

maybe you can try this ..
make sure you set the ambient light colors , etc settings in File->Map Properties /Sun.

also to avoid the light affect on your models..
use : my.unlit = on;

Thanks,
but it still looks like there is no shader.
I tried to change Ambient and Sun, but only the color
and brightness change.
If I turn my.unlit=ON the models get black.

for a flat-shaded look you have to unweld all the vertices at edges. Shaders use the normals of the vertices when calculating light, so normals will be interpolated between faces.

You might have to redo the model unles you have some good modelling software. Just make sure the edges you want flat-shaded are seperated.

you can use any special shaders than re - modeling ? !

Thanks.

@xXxGuitar511 :
I think that would work, but it sounds like an unprofessional
way to do it.
I thought that "materials" were included into
3DGS to change shadows.

It works in MED so there must be a way to do it in the
engine, too.

- Materials are used in 3DGS
- Shadows have nothing to do with materials
- You mentioned shaders, are you using one?
- Unprofessional, no, thats just the only way to do it with 3DGS

try to post the screen shot of both results.. so it will be easy to help.

@xXxGuitar511
Shadows have nothing to do with materials?????
Manual:
"The material definition controls the lighting properties
of entities and surfaces, as well as special rendering
effects like pixel and vertex shaders."

If you right-click on the preview in MED and then click
on "GLX Properties" and than on "Advanced..." you can
change the material (and shadows on the model).
I want to do the same in the game.

Sorry I haven`t got any web-space.
You can only see the edges of the models.
The rest is in one color and brightness. (No shadows)
I use a skin with only one color and brightness.
So only the shadows should be visible-
but there are no shadows.
