`rendinst_tree_colored`

Overview

A basic shader for rendering vegetation.

Default values are indicated in quotes.

script:t="atest=0" – Enables alpha test.
script:t="interactions=0" – Configures interaction between characters and vegetation.
- 0: Disabled
- 1: Tall plants
- 2: Bushes
script:t="interaction_strength=0.8" – Controls the strength of interactions, ranging from 0 to 1 (values above 1 might work as well). This is a multiplier and is only effective when interactions is set to 1 or 2. This is now only in use for vegetation for which is_pivoted is no. For everything else the interaction_force_max should be used.
script:t="interaction_force_max=3.0 - Sets the maximum calculated force for vegetation which uses pivot painter (is_pivoted is yes -> has skinning structure). For these vegetations the interaction force is between 0 and interaction_force_max based on the obstacle’s distance from the vegetation’s center. This is also only effective when interactions is set to 1 or 2.
script:t="angle_dissolve=1" – Toggles angle-based dissolve effects.
script:t="spherical_normals=1" – Applies spherical normals over branch normals to smooth sharp edges and reduce low-poly appearance.

Note

This feature is rarely used and may behave unexpectedly.

Unlike in War Thunder, the third channel is not used.

Red Channel: Controls fine vertex jitter. The shift occurs along the vertex normals but only in the horizontal plane.
Green Channel: Controls oscillation phase. It shifts the amplitude oscillation by 90 degrees, randomizing the fine vertex jitter.
