Loopix: Getting near the completion of the code. Here's a teaser.

Don't wanna be repetitive, but.....WOW!


Very nice cobble(?) stone texture as well!

YAAHHH! Steempipe, I can't wait! With this thing, good terrain work will be so easy. I really appreciate that you are taking care of this. Thanks! Meanwhile I will start to learn Level-block building...(something I haven't done so far).

Is this possible with ffp:
four blended textures using the RGB channels. + Gouraud Shading

It surely should be..in fact you can use the alpha channels in each texture to blend instead of an additional blender texture.

I would like to make something like this for my own project, but i so far have trouble understand the correct texture stage states and that stuff.. if anyone who knows the FFP better than me would give this a go I think many people would be happy.

I already have the ffp version worked out for slapping down 5 textures using the alpha in each colormap texture. It is completely re-written to take advantage of DX 9 effect file format.

The main problem with getting the pixelshader version working was the inability to utilize the framebuffer in passes the same as with FFP. So it took a little creative thought.

I dont suppose you would share this FFP code ?

I suppose I will... after I prune some fat from it and gather up a small build. Seems everyone always wants an example. I would think by the end of this week it should come together.

Unfortunately I need an external blendmap but it'd be great to pack all blendmaps in one texture (using RGBA channels). Is that possible (I'd pay up to 10$).
