- ClipTran Texture
- Type: Color, Filter, Reflect.
-
- This is an update (19-4 '95) of the cliptran texture.
- This texture clips away parts of an object that are totally
- transparant. (you could, for instance, make foliage with it)
- Add a transparancy map to be used as a clipmap,
- and after that add the cliptran texture. What the texture does
- is removing reflection, pushing the filter value up so the
- clipped parts get invisible and remove the specular highlight
- on the clipped parts. (you can also use another texture as a
- clipmap)
- Don't use a transparancy map with multiple levels of grey, just
- use black and white (the specular intensity doesn't change with
- the different levels of grey).
- Special attention was given to making the edges of the clipping
- look good (better than the last version).
- Make sure textures following the cliptran texture have -1 put in
- the filter parameters, as making clipped parts opaque again will
- look weird.
-
- sample object: Anything with a transparancy map as a clipmap.
