CS:GO phong on world surfaces

[Klems]

Added support for Phong on world materials. See Train for examples of such materials.

Just wanted to let you guys know.

 

EDIT: here's the VMT from the modified texture in Train.

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "metal/hr_metal/metal_grated_d"
	"$bumpmap"  "metal/hr_metal/metal_grated_d_normals"
	"$surfaceprop" "Metal"
	

			    "$phong" "1"
                "$phongexponent" "105.0"
                "$phongMaskContrastBrightness" "[.5 8]"
                "$phongAmount" "[4 4 4 1.0]"

		"$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" "1"
	


	//"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
	//"$envmaptint" 		"[.3 .3 .3]"	
	"$detail" 				"detaildetailconcrete001a"
	"$detailscale" 			"[4 4 4]"
	"$detailblendfactor" 	"1"

}

I have no idea what "phongAmount" or "phongMaskContrastBrightness" stands for. Hopefully we'll get some doc soon.

Hell yeah, that's great!

[LATTEH]

This is something I've been wanting for a long time!

Edit: aww you can't use world reflections (env map) with phong.

That's so great !!!

 

So at first i tried to use their texture in a very simple test map with 1 light.

It didn't work : screenshot

 

Then i tried to add a sun light, just like in de_train :

It worked : screenshot 1, screenshot 2

 

Then i tried with a custom texture of my friend Wenceslas :

it's pretty nice : screenshot 1, screenshot 2

I noticed that the alpha mask that was in the normalmap was used for the phong, the marble reflected more than the wood which is pretty nice.

 

After that, i tried to use it on a displacement :

Yeah it works ! screenshot

 

Then i tried to add the world reflections with cubemaps and it works great as well for me

screenshot

So i don't know what's not working with you LATTEH, can you explain me a bit more ?

 

And finaly the most crazy test : displacement with a texture with transparency, phong, normalmap and specular

With $translucent : http://i.imgur.com/5AjUwVz.jpg

With $alphatest : http://i.imgur.com/KxEMVks.jpg(even better since you have the shadows and the edges are sharper, more defined than with $translucent)

 

 

I'll try the other parameters tomorow, i have to go to bed it's late here ^^

Thank you valve guys

New test:

[EddieLTU]

did some tests

 

just a warning, phong and blend textures along with blendmodulade don't like eachother

[Vaya]

That looks amazing!

[EddieLTU]

did a test with a dust 2 tile texture

How did you get CSGO's tools mode working? I thought it has been broken since release

[TheGuma]

Been messing around as well

Could do it a bit more subtle, just showing off what a single brush an a texture can do.

add -nop4 before -tools -console

and in console, type "toolload vmt"

3 years after release, they are still broken

 

But as nico said, you can load all the tools with "toolload" and unload them with "toolunload" (toolload vmt for material editor, toolload pet for particle editor and so on)

 

Thanks everyone who took the time to test this nice feature and post results, much appreciated

How does phong exactly work and could you give a Noob explanation

How does phong exactly work and could you give a Noob explanation

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Phong_materials

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phong_reflection_model

To put it simply, envmap reflect world, while phong reflect lights. You don't need cubemaps to use phong, so there's no artifacts related to cubemap resolution. The reflection is pixel perfect. I know world is essentialy light and lights are actually rendered in cubemaps, but I think you get the point.

 

There's a bit more to it, phong shading is per-pixel lighting, goureaud is per-vertex, and flat is per-triangle.

I'm not sure how source handle models lighting. I guess phong is used if you put $phong in the VMT, otherwise goureaud is set by default. World surfaces are not lit per-pixel, or even per-vertex, because they use lightmaps. Only the reflections matters here.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the world lights are rendered in lightmaps?
