Chapter 36. "Glass" effect

The model is almost ready. Two remaining missing pieces are:

  • Clear-film
  • Excise stamp

For clear-film we don't even need to write a new shader. We will use our "mirror" shader (as for gilded prints) with white noise as a main texture (uTex0) and will "translate" it to semi-transparent 8x1 texture glass01.bmp (uTex3), imitating glass reflection. It's a plain white transparent texture with one (last) non-transparent pixel (generated programmatically).

1. Download glass01.bmp file here

and save it to C:\CPP\engine\dt\common\img\materials\glass01.bmp


Revised model descriptor:

2. Copy following code to a Text Editor and save it (overwrite) to/as

C:\CPP\a997modeler\dt\models\misc\marlboro01\root01.txt

New code starts at line 57.

Please note:

  • For top and bottom projections we also use a normal map (line 64), a rectangular bluish image on bottom right.
  • For excise stamp we are using not "mt_adjust" as before, but entirely new material (line 69).
  • In line 70 we have a new a2mesh property - detachBy=0.05. It instructs ModelLoadere to pull cutted fragment a bit out of "parent" mesh in order to avoid overlapping with clear-film surface.

Since now we are using semi-transparent meshes, it arises a new problem - transparent surfaces shouldn't overwrite (update) z-buffer in case we need to render something under (behind) such surface. In order to handle this, in Material class we will add 2 new properties:

  • zBuffer - to use z-buffer testing on not. Default - use.
  • zBufferUpdate - update z-buffer or not. Default - update.

3. Open Material.h and replace code by:

#pragma once
#include "MyColor.h"
#include <string>

class Material
{
public:
	char shaderType[20] = "";
	int shaderN = -1;
	int primitiveType = GL_TRIANGLES;
	MyColor uColor;
	int uTex0 = -1;
	int uTex1mask = -1;
	int uTex2nm = -1;
	int uTex3 = -1;
	int uTex1alphaChannelN = 3; //default - alpha channel for mask
	int uTex1alphaNegative = 0; //default - alpha channel not negative
	int uTex0translateChannelN = -1; //translate tex0 to tex3 by channelN. Default -1 - don't translate

	int uAlphaBlending = 0; //for semi-transparency
	float uAlphaFactor = 1; //for semi-transparency
	float uAmbient = 0.4f; //ambient light
	//specular light parameters
	float uSpecularIntencity = 0.8f;
	float uSpecularMinDot = 0.8f;
	float uSpecularPowerOf = 20.0f;

	float lineWidth = 1;
	int zBuffer = 1;
	int zBufferUpdate = 1;
public:
	int pickShaderNumber() { return pickShaderNumber(this); };
	static int pickShaderNumber(Material* pMT);
	void setShaderType(std::string needType) { setShaderType(this, needType); };
	static void setShaderType(Material* pMT, std::string needType) { myStrcpy_s(pMT->shaderType, 20, (char*)needType.c_str()); };
	void clear() { clear(this); };
	static void clear(Material* pMT);
	int assignShader(std::string needType) { return assignShader(this, needType); };
	static int assignShader(Material* pMT, std::string needType);
};


We will use these properties in DrawJob class to adjust rendering settings. Function - executeDrawJob(..).

  • Another change here - mainCamera.viewRangeDg = 20; 30 was a bit too much, too strong perspective, 20 looks better.
  • New rotation speeds (line 29).

7. Build and run. Result:

Before:

(Plain projections)

After:

With gilded and embossed prints, with pack-top joint as a normal map, with golden sealing ribbon as a line.

And now - with clear-film and excise mark.

  • Verified on Android as well.

Now model is completely ready. Finally, I can safely smoke this pack out. Or maybe it's better to leave it as a keepsake of this Project?
