hi all this is my last experimentation : the texture splatting :o) it's work on Blitz Terrain, if not used the vertex alpha blending technique or other technique, just used alphamap and detail texture for work :o) screen : Simple Demo : http://bond357.free.fr/down/TextureSplattingDemo.zip good test

Cool :) Um.. texture... SPLATTING? :P

This is great! Works really well. What's the DLL for?

texture... SPLATTING? :P Give him a break - he is foreign! Although 'splatting' is actually quite descriptive. :P

Beaker (Posted 2005) [#5]

It is called texture splatting!

big10p (Posted 2005) [#6]

D'oh! :P

Doesn't seem to work for me, i just get the terrain with a single repeating texture :(

Shambler (Posted 2005) [#8]

mmmm sweet! Works fine here on Geforce 6800GT.

ErikT (Posted 2005) [#9]

Looks very good!

Zmatrix (Posted 2005) [#10]

Yeah, it really is called texture splatting, heh works fine here 6800gt

Dreamora (Posted 2005) [#11]

how many texture layers needed? Am I right when I assume 6 on that picture? (1 per texture and 1 per texture alpha map?) It works on my system (mobile 9700) and that on a quite nice speed :-)

seyhajin (Posted 2005) [#12]

just 1 alphamap per 1 texture :), and illimted texture detail ;o) but most => slow, other demo without blend 5 if first demo don't run http://bond357.free.fr/down/TextureSplatting_Blend2.zip

AdrianT (Posted 2005) [#13]

looks a bit like what I do in 3dsmax with an alpha sorting trick. Very cool :)

Doesn't run on my GEForce 4 MX, which has only 2 texture units available.

seyhajin (Posted 2005) [#16]

Hi halol ! Have you try a second demo with blend 2 ? http://bond357.free.fr/down/TextureSplatting_Blend2.zip if not work, maybe your video card don't support AlphaBlending :(

JoshK (Posted 2005) [#17]

I do texture splatting in OpenGL with no problems. Support for blend mode 5 isn't an issue either.
