Misc stFlow shader 1.0

[Stereo]

Stereo submitted a new resource:

stFlow shader - UV animating shader for water etc.

Installation: open 7zip file, drop stFlow\ in MODS folder, use JSGME/CM to install.
Or, open it up, drop sdk+system into your AC root (they don't overwrite)

For modders:
Additional parameters are
offsetDSpeed (x,y) -> adds this much to UV coordinates of diffuse texture every second
offsetNMSpeed (x,y) -> adds this much to UV coordinates of first normal texture every second
offsetNMdetailSpeed (x,y) -> adds this much to UV coordinates of second normal texture every second
detailNMmult (x) ->...

Awesome work man,
be nice also if possible to make something similar for grass and have it blowing in the direction of the wind in game that would be sick, but like I say amazing work looks so realistic

 

[patrikpat]

very, very interesting ...
I believe that with this shader you can make the animated billboard...do it could be?

 

[Ben Lee]

Excellent.

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

this looks fantastic! Thank you
couple of questions:
- any fps hit?
- which tracks is this useful for? I can think of Monaco and Lake Louise, there must be others

 

[Davide Nativo]

Am I right in assuming this will work only on tracks implementing it from the ground up?

 

[patrikpat]

Yess!! we can! with this great shader we can make the simple bilboard animated

Right. It's gonna need textures laid out in a way that suits it.

 

[patrikpat]

yes .. you have to remap the objects and prepare textures with images side by side horizontally or vertically...

Hi guys! ( we are everyone guys in this years
...another test for a billboard animated to Suzuka for Assetto Corsa..

 

[luchian]

What happens if somebody downloading a track made using this, does not have the shader installed ? Will it throw an error, or will be simply not visible ?

 

[patrikpat]

Will it throw an error, i think . the game not load the track.

It will be fantastic if in the future this shader could manage simple videos or animated gifs..

 

[Stereo]

You could do a video if you want, just that since the frames are stored in dds, filesize will be terrible.

 

[patrikpat]

true .. already so your shared is excellent. Thank you

 

[Mascot]

Simply superb, so much potential! Can't wait to see what people come up with. @patrikpat's animated billboards and jumbotrons at Suzuka are brilliant. Thanks!

Stereo updated stFlow shader with a new update entry:

fixed error log

no functionality changes but one of the files had the wrong name and was making errors in the log.

Stereo updated stFlow shader with a new update entry:

add NMmult

For backwards compatibility reasons, the new parameter (NMmult) has a hidden +1 to it - since default value is 0, setting it to 0 means multiply normal map UVs by 1. Just a small requested feature so that the diffuse and normalmap can have different uv scales.

Could stFlow be used to animate a helicopter's rotor blades as it hovers over the track?

Could stFlow be used to animate a helicopter's rotor blades as it hovers over the track?

I guess so, you'd just unfold the circle so it goes straight across the texture. Don't think the shadows would animate though.

being new to pc racing I have just started using content manager. where do I download this to?

thanks in advance
