Nice Looks like someone is having fun

Adding subsets to meshes is something I'm working on today

[BIGREG]

Here i have relocate the UVW of a large texture 1024*128->1024*1024
(i have not finished the fish texture,just for testing)



The fish move as the plant (oscilate)
But for make more realiste we can see how work the seagull (if anyone know where i can found them )
other we must see is a way to use dito the charactere ( with waypoints )

Great! I am really happy to see this evolving!
Thanks for your hard work!

For TDW

I noticed that the data Tr, Tf and maybe even illum are not exported in .mtl
But there are imported into the editor
(I have to change. Mtl for the correct rendering)

The only items the app currently exports in regards to the MTL file are:
- Ns
- Ka
- Kd
- Ks
- Ke
- map_Ka
- map_Kd
- map_Ks
- map_bump and bump

I still have to review the document you posted about the MTL file

[BIGREG]

I'm sure of what I say, the datas for transparency (tr or tf) are imported into the editor , I have to delete them of the .Mtl, otherwise, the objects are transparent or black

This may be a problem...the models in undersea.gr2 are animated with a custom vertex shader, so any animations you make for them won't show...so this can be a showstopper.

Argh ! i don't understand this morning at first attemp the object was transparent with the tr,tf data in .mtl,i have retry and now all is normal

No the plants are animated with .sim
and there are animated with ... lost controllers in goblin and s3d

Nope, they're shader-animated. Check out Shaders/Granny/GrannyVS.fx:
#ifdef GRASS_ANIMATION
float frequency = max(0, min(1, Input.Position.y)) * g_animationTime.y;
Input.Position.xyz += float3(g_animationTime.x, 0.0, g_animationTime.x) * sin(frequency);
#endif

However only the plants are animated and the gr2 contains both rocks and plants. I think it's a name convention, the plants have a certain name that differentiates them from the rocks, so the rocks are not rendered with this shader.

Thank Pintea

I see that you know better than me, the process of annimation

For now, I try the different controllers used in .Sim
I'll post the list as soon as I finished

A small question, how are placing plants and rocks

The rocks & plants are displayed in a circular area around the player's current location.
The algorithm chooses random rock and plant sub-models from the gr2 and places them like I said above. For the fish to stop being animated like the plants you have to rename the fish model like one of the rocks, something like rock9 or whatever...

Pintea is a dev iirc They always give great help and information

[BIGREG]

Ok ,But i have attach to plant to make it more real ( and to have the annimation from plants)

Do you think is possible to add an other random .GR2 (Fishs.GR2)
If yes,we need to know if we can rename the undersea.GR2 and his .sim
to Fish.GR2 ,Maybe we need just to change the adressing in

much respect for Pintea:
he is not around too often, but his posts are always getting straight to the point, and his help has been resolutive in many circumstances

Very well done Bigreg!
But isn't the fish in your screenshot a cold water fish: a trout or something like that?
