Glass Texture Problem

[UglyEd]

Hi there,

 

does anyone know, ho I can add some non-transparent areas to a glass texture?

Which glass do you mean? On a window, or some object that you modeled? If you mean a window or similar I guess you would have to create sufficiently much brushes and apply them wherever you want the glass to be.

Oh, I actual forgot to mantion. I mean window glass. So I will try with another brush in front of the window pane. Thanks a lot.

as you posted this in textures: if you mean non-transparent areas on the glass-texture the answer is no i'm afraid, cause the shader used for glass makes the whole thing transparent.

 

kind regards

But he could create an independent brush and stick it through the glass brush. This should not affect one or the other, right?

[UglyEd]

I've done so, as sparhawk suggested. I'm just creating some bull's eye windows an I needed some non-transparent circles around the bull's eyes that represent the lead stripes. And it woks fine with the second brush.

 

I'm nearly finished with this. I will show when it's done.

 

Here is an image from the editor:

 

 

the edges are still very blurry

Can't say much about the texture right now, but the concept looks quite good.

It will always look blurry at the edges like that with the fragment shader heat haze effect, because it distorts everything in view in the fragment, so it distorts whatever's at the edges too - this is why the edges weapons are also affected by this glass effect.
