So Ayulin, you are saying that to save memory I should try using 512 textures, and making the stencils inbetween each texture 1024, correct ?

thx
Gm

Yes , it all makes total sense. I need to do some of that myself and get less stretching, because my current project actually is a island terrain,and atm though the modeling is adequate,the texturing leaves me unhappy.

I'm far from a blender guru so I clearly need to do some more research. I truly had no idea that direct texturing had that effect vs stencil maps inbetween each. I often wondered why blender offered the two modes. I wish there was ONE interface for all of it to lessen the confusion. Come on in our IRC channel sometimes,and maybe we can discuss some of these design techniques and help each other and maratis in the process.

I goofed up early on in design of my island ,and the stretching in one specific area is nasty,so I need to redo my unwrap I guess,,,I really hate to as I like my desin mostly as is, but no pain no gain I suppose ;0-0

Cheers

I'm sure someone will respond who understands what you're after, as this whole talk of tiling has be a tad confused.

A well designed texture, WILL tile, so Im not exactly sure what you are asking

There are specific applications you can get/buy that do this, tiling ,and do it well, then again textures are by their nature, tileable 'enough'.

I saw your screenshot, and I used to go that confusing 'stencil' way, but I find its largely unnecessary, unless it has something to do with your tiling needs  ? I've got no idea on that front, as I'm barely just at the point I am with blender to even to multitexturing in the first place.

I am simply doing the whole unwrapping of my mesh, adding a new image in UVmap section , and then I simply just add all the textures I want to work with in the add texture area of blender ( next to new material of course),and then I go into the 'texture paint' , and add new textures ( using texdraw ) as I need them using the >Textures section. It works perfectly and I do not have to worry about stencils , and it exports into Maratis just perfect, without the need of any fancy shaders,and using 'pacman' from Maratis editor has it working just fine,and it looks like it does in blender.

It does not have this odd behavior in Sponza,which is odd because Im following the exact same behavior , given im using the script from sponza and simply loaded the box mesh and duplicated it as shown in one of the tuts for maratis online.

I then created the values as given in sponza and it works fine except for these few things..Ive double checked and I simply can't find what I've got incorrect here, but yes I'd be happy to post script Im using .

My script which is exact duplicate of sponza script:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Maratis
-- Jules script test
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- get objects
Player = getObject("Player")
Head = getObject("Head")

dx = 0.0
dy = 0.0

centerCursor()
mx = getAxis("MOUSE_X")
my = getAxis("MOUSE_Y")

-- scene update
function onSceneUpdate()

    -- rotate Player (X mouse)
    rotate(Player, {0, 0, -1}, dx*100)
   
    -- rotate Head (Y mouse)
    rotate(Head, {-1, 0, 0}, dy*100, "local")   
    rotation = getRotation(Head)
    if rotation[1] > 90 then
        rotation[1] = 90
    elseif rotation[1] < -90 then
        rotation[1] = -90
    end

    setRotation(Head, rotation)
   
    -- move
    if isKeyPressed("UP") then
        addCentralForce(Player, {0, 3, 0}, "local")
    end
   
    if isKeyPressed("DOWN") then
        addCentralForce(Player, {0, -3, 0}, "local")
    end
   
    if isKeyPressed("LEFT") then
        addCentralForce(Player, {-3, 0, 0}, "local")
    end

    if isKeyPressed("RIGHT") then
        addCentralForce(Player, {3, 0, 0}, "local")
    end   
   
    -- get mouse direction
    dx = getAxis("MOUSE_X") - mx
    dy = getAxis("MOUSE_Y") - my

    -- center cursor
    centerCursor()
   
    mx = getAxis("MOUSE_X")
    my = getAxis("MOUSE_Y")   
   
end

My box.mesh ( brought in direct from sponza DIR) has properties in editor, which match their sponza values, as does head and camera, so I'm lost as to what I'm doing wrong here . My parenting is also precisely matching sponza example as are all other value, afaict.

I realize I could just use sponza mproj and del building and load my mesh instead, but I'd rather know why what I'm doing isn't having intended effect so I can learn Maratis effectively.

thx

TO check for what you want, would require collision I imagine:

http://wiki.maratis3d.org/index.php?tit … lisionTest , is what you want ?, which when 'shot' was indicated,  would do the following:

http://forum.maratis3d.com/viewtopic.php?id=565 , looks like what you are after, even if I most definitely do not yet understand anael's respond in its entirety

I'm not the best person to answer this given I barely program, but trying to help or at least put you on the right path.

http://www.maratis3d.org/?page_id=53 < maybe that page will help you find what you need.

Sorry I don't know enough about engine yet, to verify.

THis might also help: http://www.maratis3d.org/?p=548

I am positive somebody will chime in soon that knows or with luck the pages I offered will suffice ( or maybe you found your answers on your own by now)

THis is what Anael meant:

OK so, I have my 8800gtx back in system for now ( hope I fixed the issues!),and now editor and projects are all working fine and smooth.

Having said that though, the red cube in your spacecraft game, seems to say something,but Ican't read any of it because I am too far above the floor due to gravity LOL

How do I come back down to progress ?

Yes, its very difficult to navigate, given the red cube isn't giving any up/down or gravity help ?

Good job so far, hope you continue with it

I honestly think though, that the 'end of weapon' isn't very immersive, and if it were me I would go 3rd preson to give a little bit of help there,though I realize time may have played a role in you making that part simple for now.

OK  just for verification purposes, I started truespace 3d 7.6 ( modeling, animating, etc. LOVE it), and chose 'opengl' as rendering method,and it clearly shows that as a valid option, with opengl32.dll , so for some reason ya, it appears maratis editor is having a tough time with my ati HD 4650

Morning

Strangely enough, I don't have standard renderer here, it just shows fixed renderers when I click on it ( which I thought was odd yes). If you are asking can I get into GLSL mode without errors in blender, the answer is yes.

thx
Gm

Okay will do. I'll get back to you afterwards.

thanks
