is there a way to make a reflective amtrial (not reflective glass) but normal one

Sure there is.

Open up Glass or mirror material and find the place when texture is set to Fresnel Glass or Irradiance.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class Stage1

{

texture="#(ai,64,64,1)fresnelGlass()";

uvSource="none";

};

replace it with a simple texture with alpha channel (use the texture function or make one yourself). Only alpha channel is important.

Make sure to save as _COA if you use TV2.

How to adjust the reflection: the small alpha texture you have is only read horizontally.

The leftmost edge's alpha is the alpha of reflection when face normal is at 90 degree angle. the rightmost row of pixels is the alpha of reflection when the face is being looked straight at.

So if you for example want the reflection to appear only when you are looking straight at it (opposite to normal manner with glass and Fresnel Glas texture) the alpha will look like that:

Which is inverse of FresnelGlass texture.

If you want the reflection to be allways the same (polished steel maybe?) but not 100% opaque - use a texture with constant alpha at value that suits your needs.

this matrial is form ObmaR 's Virtual Reflective Glass Material (.rvmat) Tutorial

};

nextPass="F:\armatools\BIModels\CLSAMG\glass-pass2.rvmat";

PixelShaderID="Glass";

VertexShaderID="Glass";

class Stage1

{

texture="#(ai,64,64,1)fresnelGlass()";

uvSource="none";

};

class Stage2

{

texture="F:\armatools\BIModels\CLSAMG\reflect_co.paa";

uvSource="none";

};

so i have to replace the stage1 with a texture with alpha channel right? and if i want the refliction to be mor visiable the alpha channel must be darker right?

thnx

Brighter.

More value = brighter channel
