Hi all,
I am just trying to solve a day/nighttextures problem like following:
Viewing trees or fences while dusk or dawn, their edges have ugly translucency on it so you can see through it when they are in front of additional objects. Means the edges can let you see through the objects behind.....For example buildings get fence-edges-translucency...
To prevent this, I got following idea:
Export the original Gmax file into another mdl to get two exact identically models (i. e. fences). I use the xml to get the exact same position on it like the original.
Both models have the same texture (i. e. fences.bmp and fences_lm.bmp)
So the original should get the order to appear ONLY at DAY and DUSK/DAWN,
using the day textures, the clone one ONLY at NIGHT with night textures.
I used MDLTweaker with option "Time of Day" with parametres
1= DAY
2= DUSK/DAWN
4= NIGHT
I did perceived about 100 trials to manage it, but each of them failed
.
Although I used the tweaks above, I got either
- Night textures, day textures but also both textures at dusk/dawn
- nice day textures on day and dusk/dawn like I need but only when disabling night textures
Okay, so how do I have to use the dusk/dawn tweak, please?
a) VALUE MIN 1 MAX 2
or
a) VALUE MIN 1 MAX 1
AND
second variable
VALUE MIN 2 MAX 2
to get a working tweak?
Sorry for long explaination, but hope it descibes the issue I have.
Best regards
Manfred.
