Help with setMaterialTexture

[lobo-tuerto]

Hello guys,


I would like some pointers about how setMaterialTexture works. I'm trying to assign two textures to a model.

The first texture is the naked body in layer 0, and the second texture are the clothes in layer 1 (same size as body but with alpha channel so some parts of the body can be seen through).

Code: Select all

    node->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("body.tga"));
    node->setMaterialTexture(1, driver->getTexture("clothes.tga"));

But it isn't working, what's the correct way to do it?

Have a look at the setMaterialType method here

You have a list of all types of materials available to you here

It looks like none of them can suit your needs, but I'm a noob, so play around with it....

Yeah I have looked at those, that's why I'm asking about it in this beginner's forum.

I tried all different material types, putting the textures into different texture layers and also into different materials .... without success

If somebody comes with a solution, I would also be interested to learn how to put a texture onto another

Hmmm.... reading about other topics I heard about a render to texture feature, but I would like to know if that's the only method to achieve this.

So basically everytime your char changes clothes or "armor" you would have to render to texture then apply that texture to your model, right?
