Sahara/Material Accumulation

[Mitovo]

Hello,

Real simple question for this...

Is there a tutorial or documentation for the material accumulation feature?

I see in the Material options where you can enable it and set different parameters, but I don't see anywhere to define what texture to use for the accumulation itself. Is it one of the options in the Advanced Texture maps? I was thinking maybe Overlay Map?

Thanks!

The submitted conversion uses accumulation volumes for mapping textures to objects in areas. You'll find that under library->level->level : http://i.imgur.com/V0ijUsU.png

Do note two things at time of writing:

A) You'll need a normal map.

B) Looks like a bug slipped by that requires a level reload to trigger tying materials that were not already prepped to receive accumulation layers together with the inputs. Still tracking the particulars there.

Ah! Very cool.I'd seen that item, but assumed it was for something else. Interesting! Thanks :)

I was messing with this earlier, and noticed that switching light managers results in completely different appearance for textures with accumulation. Can anyone confirm if they also see this?

Ok I have it working. Seems to not be noticeable on smaller scaled objects.
