DX9 Constant Texture Material // The Garage 1  |   Order by default Post by Jack Edwards // Sep 8, 2007, 5:20am Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 For those of who use blueprints or templates when modeling and don't want the lights to affect the way the texture shows up. 8320 Has two input values: 1.) An image file 2.) Brightness You can type in any brightness values you want, but here's some guides to give you and example: 0.0 Black 0.5 Half Brightnes 1.0 Full Brightnes 2.0 Double Brightness This is also useful for the meshes for self luminating objects that you don't want to receive shading or shadows -- like lightbulbs, suns, etc. Video attached that shows how to load and use it. Remember to bring up the file dialog to load an image file in TS is a CTRL double click. Video is recorded in XVid codec. So make sure you install the codec if it won't play for you.

I forgot to make the solid color one though. I'll post that one later today. -Jack. Post by butterpaw // Sep 9, 2007, 4:15am butterpaw Total Posts: 831 Ah, thank you!
