Custom Shader Effects
|
|
#####################
|
|
|
|
OpenMW leverages the `NiStringExtraData` node to inject special shader flags and effects.
|
|
This node must have the prefix `omw:data` and have a valid JSON object that follows.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This is a new feature to inject OpenMW-specific shader effects. Only a single
|
|
effect is currently supported. By default, the shader effects will propogate
|
|
to all a node's children. Other propogation modes and effects will come with
|
|
future releases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Soft Effect
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This effect softens the intersection of alpha-blended planes with other opaque
|
|
geometry. This effect is automatically applied to all particle systems, but can
|
|
be applied to any mesh or node. This is useful when layering many alpha-blended
|
|
planes for various effects like steam over a hotspring or low hanging fog for
|
|
dungeons.
|
|
|
|
To use this feature the :ref:`soft particles` setting must be enabled.
|
|
This setting can either be activated in the OpenMW launcher or changed in `settings.cfg`:

| falloff | Fades away geometry as camera gets closer. Geometry full fades when parallel to camera. | boolean | false |
