Shader: dynamic_painted_by_mask

Overview

A dynamic shader designed for vehicles in daNetGame-based projects.

Textures

• tex0: Diffuse albedo

• tex2: Normals + metalness + smoothness

• tex4: Grayscale paint mask (white = 100% paint coverage, black = no paint)

• tex5: Optional grayscale camouflage mask (white = painted with the second color, black = no paint)

Parameters

• script:t="primary_color=0,0,0,0" – Defines the primary paint color based on the mask from tex4. The first three values represent the RGB color; the fourth value is unused.

• script:t="secondary_color=0,0,0,0" – Defines the secondary paint color based on the mask from tex5. The first three values represent the RGB color; the fourth value is unused.

Functionality

If only one mask and one color are specified, the shader will apply the paint based on that mask. For example:

When both masks and two colors are provided, the shader can generate camouflage patterns in any color combination. For example:

The color defined in the asset will be applied to all vehicles of this type unless it is overridden in the templates.

Predefined color sets and random color generation in-game are configured in .blk files located in: <project_name>/prog/gameBase/content/<project_name>/gamedata/templates/.

For example, predefined color sets:

vehicle_color_smoking_red value:p4=0.6, 0.105, 0.117, 1.0
vehicle_color_vampire_red value:p4=0.419, 0.039, 0.074, 1.0
vehicle_color_canyon_copper value:p4=0.807, 0.341, 0.184, 1.0

The following block indicates that there is a 90% chance the vehicle will be painted in one of the four specified colors:

ar_painting.chance:r=0.9
"car_painting.possibleColors:array"{
  "item:object"{ color:t="vehicle_color_battleship_gray"; }
  "item:object"{ color:t="vehicle_color_dark_gray"; }
  "item:object"{ color:t="vehicle_color_thundercloud"; }
  "item:object"{ color:t="vehicle_color_military_green"; }
}
