Texturing Player Models

Is there a way to make a black outline on the player model to make it look more cartoon-ish looking?

Thanks.

Yes DD actually has it, may ask lazyzim or Obey because they seemed to use a specific parameter for it to work

Okay thank you

Enhance CelShading - wiki snippet

Follow from the header "Edge Outline Vertex Shader Experiment".

Basically, download the files it's got listed and add them to you materials folders. Then add an extra Pass into each material in your magixmod files. scale sets the size/how far the line protrudes from the mesh, diffuse sets the color. Don't forget to follow it's materials example and add the "import * from "outline.material" at the top of the magixmod files.

I often refer to this old post on the Azoptaos forums: http://azoptaos.boards.net/thread/42/make-presets-anyways

It tells you how to do all kinds of stuff with textures.

Thank you for replying. I will try these ^^

Yeah, what Hamilton said XD

DD has the .program, .material and .cfg files for CelShading and Outlines.

Beware though, some material scripting effects don't play nicely with them.

I'm not too great with scripting this type of stuff so I might need some help. I did add in the other files though without any problems. When I test it in game it looks like nothing has changed. So I am guessing that I did this completely wrong xD

wrong pass for an outline. wrong location for the pass. you want something more like:

{
//scene_blend alpha_blend

               pass : OutlineExperiment

               }
}
}

if you are going for the celshading, it's a little more complex to add to the playermodel codes and doesn't really play well with 3D9 and multiple layers. I'd recommend saving it for presets or force your players into only using openGL unless someone out there knows a fix for:

Spoiler:

 

both 3D9, with the code crammed into the only two places where it ever showed a change to the shading

Thank you!

EDIT

I did this and I still get the same problem. In game it doesn't look changed.
I'll see if I can pay someone to do it.
Coding isn't my thing, I'm more of a 3d modeling person.

So if someone can code it for me i'll pay either paypal or points.
Tell me how much.
Send a PM
thanks
