I have one of the oddest questions ever. Does anyone know of a code that would force specular lighting (per pixel lighting) onto everything instead of only the characters themselves? The reason i ask is because if so im going to take my textures to another level with bumpmapping.

Examples

Before

After

Now imagine that but with 3k FD textures

I really want to. Ive talked a little bit with the developer of the ishiiurka build of dolphin (Its the only one that supports bump mapping if im not mistaken) and he might be able to hook me up with a version that can add bump mapping to anything regardless of specular light. If it happens im doing some serious melee and wind waker work.

It'd still look pretty bad without new UVWs though, also certain parts in the game break with tesselation on (PS for example), so I'd recommend custom spec/normal maps only until we get model importing. And are you sure custom spec maps don't work on stages? Only tried characters so far (http://imgur.com/a/byNl8) but if that's true, it's very dissapointing.

EDIT: Quoted wrong, meant to quote "Now imagine that but with 3k FD textures".

From what ive tested most stages dont have specular lighting so giving them any custom mapping doesnt work. BUT the dev of ishiiruka is going to try and do something about it so we can have more universal usage. Thats if he gets around to it, the project keeps him pretty busy.

Edit: forgot to add the specular maps are already new, made by me with crazy bump.

Hm.. Well, there's specular lighting on the characters, so to me it makes more sense that's it's got something to do with the materials. So if that's the case you should be able to copy those properties to the stages materials, right? DRGN DRGN @zankyou does what I said make sense?

a couple experiments/"doodles" I have made this passed week. Really I was just messing around with the limitations of texture shading and material color. More serious textures to come.

For the glass cannon falco, did you do anything else other than make the textures white, or is the lighting on falco just light blue? I tried making other glass cannon textures but they just show up white lol

Yeah that makes sense, but I haven't looked into stage files. I don't know what structures they have or what properties the structures have. Zankyou probably has an idea.

@zankyou, do stages have material structs? How much do you know about their structure hierarchy?

Is there a way to combine multiple .usd files of the same name? (Ex. I have 2 ifall.usd files i want to combine into one). If so, how? I would like to know so i can do this with .dol files too (if thats possible).

Not necessarily. It could be any number of things. Wind waker has the exact same problem actually. You would have to find a way to tell the engine which meshes and textures to apply speculars to. Your welcome to try but it would be difficult as hell.

Thanks for the info guys. I was messing with the "shininess" field in the color struct... I tried making it 0x00000000 but it looked pretty meh:


I ended up just leaving all shininess fields as 0xFFFFFFFF... result below... though it doesn't really make much of a difference from the default value (0x42480000).



Anyways, I'll share this in case anyone wants it

I do believe that's (most often at least?) done by assigning different properties to the materials.

I made this Falco as my school's mascot (Redbirds). So it could be that, could be a cardinal, but I just like it as a standalone Red Falco too. Replaces standard falco alternate in 20xx 3.02.

Although I do like this design quite a bit as you are one of the few that put in the time to actually change Falco's color structs, I wish you hadn't removed the actual texture from his pants and shirt, as it now lacks any depth due to the flatness of the said clothing. Try making another one where you simply change his pants+shirt to black+white, then adjust contrast/brightness and see if it looks better (If you want, obviously).
