voldemort@Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2006 9:28 pm : <div class="postbody">how do you animate a texture in 3d space (or atleast give the illusion of doing this)
<br />*****************
<br /><br />again edited with even simpler code
<br />simplye add the parm alpha pdflick [ time * 1 ]
<br />to the diffusemap stage (yup diffuse not bumpmap)
<br />and you dont even need a height map for this it will do it with the  normal map file it will displace in 3d the normals that easy
<br />****correction blend blend not diffuse****
<br /><br />Edited with new simpler method

Hopefully you should know how to create <br />a. a normal map<br />b. a height map<br />things you will need<br />A game engine we will assume your designing for either doom3 or quake 4 and have one of those engines.<br />a paint program In my examples I will be using the GIMP<br /><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20071111041303/http://www.gimp.org/">http://www.gimp.org</a><!-- m --><br /><br />THere is also a normal map plugin for the gimp wich is what I will be using in my screen shots<br />(google for the download )<br />a text editor <br />kate,kwirte,gedit or notepad if you use windows<br />texteditor will work fine on osx<br /><br />As I mentioned there are 3 methods all with pros and cons<br />the first is the most omplex but maybe the most straight forward also<br /><br />The first method will use a if statement in a mtr file for preaty much the whole process<br /><br />First off create your base texture you will be using (your diffuse map)<br /><br />now based on this texturee you need to create a black and white image that depicts the areas you want lit (dark little light interaction white means the most)<br /><br />we will be useing a normal difuse map and a normal specular map<br />heres where the fun begins we are going to make a normal map for all the different stages we want here is an example of the 1st stage<br /><br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20071111041303/http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=10zm2.jpg" class="postlink">[img=http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/8288/10zm2.th.jpg]</a><br /><br />if you look you will note a few things none of wich are set in concrete but will give you an Idea where to start<br />first off to have a normal map follow the dimensions you want the standard practice is to invert x&amp;y and as you notice those are check marked<br /><br />next I selected filter 9x9 because I feel its of better quality the choice on filter is up to you<br />next scale  I chose 100 the most possible<br /><br />the reason being were going to make a second one<br /><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20071111041303/http://img55.imageshack.us/my.php?image=28xh.jpg" class="postlink"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20071111041303im_/http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/1757/28xh.th.jpg" alt="Image" /></a><br /><br /><br />if you note that the only parm is the scale <br />I now have 90 in there instead of 100<br />I will keep creating normal maps like theese until I hit 0<br />at wich point I will uncheck the boxes for invert X&amp;Y and work my way back to 100<br /><br />this will give me a bunch of normal map textures<br />now for my naming convention in my example<br /><br />my folder for textrues<br /><br />\base\textures\learning<br />the name of the texture is ig<br /><br />so knowing that we should have a <br />ig.tga<br />ig_s.tga<br />and a bunch of ig local files in my example they are named like this<br />ig1_local.tga<br />ig2_local.tga<br />etc<br /><br />so lets jump in and look at some code that we will be placing in our mtr file<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="codetitle"><b>Code:</b></div><div

editor where to place the texture in the list of available textures<br /><br />next we have a block of code like this<br /><br /><span style="color: blue"><div class="codetitle"><b>Code:</b></div><div class="codecontent">   {<br />      blend      diffusemap<br />      map      textures/learning/ig.tga<br />   }</div></span><br /><br />this tells the engine that we want to add the diffuse map texture to our material <br />in this case<br />textures/leargning/ig.tga<br /><br />next we have this block of code<br /><br /><span style="color: red"><div class="codetitle"><b>Code:</b></div><div

map ig_s.tga<br /><br />theese two textures are constants wo thats the only time we have to inform the engine of their placement<br /><br />next we have a chunk of code like this<br /><br /><span

if its the first frame  <span style="color: green"><span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: normal">0</span></span> so when we reach the first frame we want the engine to add the layer<br /><br

maps to displace the texture for each fram as the framse cycle we will be presented with a new frame with dirrerent 3d charecteristics<br /><br />this method in some ways is the most stright forward

<br /><br />lets take a loot at the differences
<br /><br />we now have
<br />just one local file
<br /><span style="color: blue"><br />greeny_local.tga</span>
<br />and a new file 
<br />a height map
<br /><span style="color: blue">greeny_h.tga</span>
<br /><br />then at the end we have som funny numbers that start at <span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: normal">23</span>  and on the bottom line has a <span style="font-size: 200%; line-height: normal">1</span>  theese are really the only variables we are altering what we are saying
<br />is for each time that the table hits a certain number use that height map at this level of intensity..
<br />so even though you still require a lot of code most of it can be done quickly with a copy and paste effort.
<br /><br />so what happens if we want it to push inwards can we use a negative sign
<br /><br />unfortunatly not
<br />you will need to create a second height map with the heightmap colors inverted and the normal maps x&amp;y not inverted and reference them for teh sequece you want to push inward with
<br /><br />thats all for now when I get a chance I plan on releasing a prefab pack with all theese textures and a whole lot more
<br />pluse I will upload an animated gif so you can see the results</div><br><hr><br/>pbmax@Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2006 9:58 pm : <div class="postbody">couldn't you skip making a hundred different normal maps by creating a single grey scale height map in the gimp right off the bat?</div><br><hr><br/>doomkid3000@Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2006 10:44 pm : <div class="postbody">couldn't we use a roq video of a localmap instead, the quality might not be the same but is it possible <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20071111041303im_/http://www.doom3world.org/phpbb2/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif" alt=":o" title="Surprised" /></div><br><hr><br/>voldemort@Posted: Wed Apr 19, 2006 3:17 am : <div class="postbody">the last example uses a height map

<br /><br />this involves the expand deform and works well
<br />as an example I will inclued a the map and mtr file if you want to preview it though you will need to replace the diffuse and specular map with a texture of your own
<br /><br />I usead a scrolling slime Icreated and the effect was ausome it looke like it was pulsating like veins  the effect in this examplle is exagerated so you can see easily what is occuring
