- EdgeFill.itx
- Type: Color, Reflect, Filter.
-
- Overview:
- =========
- This Imagine 3.x texture can simulate a wireframe object or the Latticize
- function by coloring the edges of an objects faces.
-
- At least a 68020 and an FPU are required. The integer version of Imagine is
- not supported, sorry.
-
- Usage:
- ======
- You can set the color, reflect and filter values separately. Using the color
- value can give a wireframe look while the filter values can give a
- simulation of the latticize function.
-
- Parameters:
- ===========
-
- Color Edge Size, Reflect Edge Size, and Filter Edge Size
- --------------------------------------------------------
- This is a fractional value between 0.0 and 1.0 that tells the texture how
- much of the faces to fill. To get an effect similar to wireframe mode use
- a small value. This doesn't give a perfect wireframe rendering however.
- If you have very long and stretched triangles, the lines will vary in
- thickness. Experiment to get the effect you want. A value of 0.2 is good
- for imitating latticize.
-
- Color Blend, Reflect Blend, and Filter Blend
- --------------------------------------------
- This sets the mix between the texture and the objects original color.
- A 1.0 gives the texture its full effect, a lower number will blend
- the texture with the original attributes.
-
- Color Red, Color Green, Color Blue,
- Reflect Red, Reflect Green, Reflect Blue,
- Filter Red, Filter Green, and Filter Blue
- ----------------------------------------
- This is where you give the values that will color the edges of the faces.
- If you want to try out the latticize effect, set the objects filter value
- to 255,255,255 and the filter values in the texture requester to 0,0,0.
- This will not work right if the object is set specular since the empty
- holes will still give a specular highlight.
