Author Topic: Gloss and Metallic FX  (Read 3373 times)

I guess it would be really nice to have two new paint FX options, gloss and metallic, that they also could be chosen for vehicles too, it could use some sort of texture to simulate the reflection (maybe the skybox) here is a model for example
Rosso (View in 3D)

Notice the wheels as the metallic FX and the car paint as the gloss FX

Purty. But our engine is outdated so... Probably not.

Before V21 it was possible to add a skybox reflection to a model, but it used to turn out ugly

No. Why would we even want that in loving Blockland? RPs suck already in this game.

Realistic driving games?
Showcases?

That's not what RPing means in context.
When you refer to RP in a game like Blockland you refer to Family RP, love RP and City RP.

Custom FX can support would be nice


I like the idea, but wouldn't that cause the UI to be real messy for colorsets?

We could separate the colors from the effects to another GUI or something at the cost of convenience.

Custom FX can support would be nice
this is needed as well

That is where you are wrong. This is very possible.

As you may know, Badspot has the source code to the engine, the current effects (rainbow pearl ect) are apart of the engine changes. Adding an effect like this would probably be better in a shader format. As a brick FX would be nice too.
