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. By default,
|
|
the shader effects will propagate to all of a node's children.
|
|
Other propagation 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`:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|

|

Distortion
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
This effect is used to imitate effects such as refraction and heat distortion. A common use case is to assign a normal map to the
|
|
diffuse slot to a material and add uv scrolling. The red and green channels of the texture are used to offset the final scene texture.
|
|
Blue and alpha channels are ignored.
|
|
|
|
To use this feature the :ref:`post processing <Post Processing>` setting must be enabled.
|
|
This setting can either be activated in the OpenMW launcher, in-game, or changed in `settings.cfg`:
|
|
|
|
