Reflective Bump Mapping Created 18 years ago2006-02-28 04:49:18 UTC by Guinea Pirate

How is it done? Is there a link to a tutorial on it?

You need to be defining the envmap strings as well as the bump map path. I stole the base code from one of the stone floor materials, you'll need to tweak your tint values and experiment with saturation and contrast.

I got it working, but with undesired results.

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "memorial/aliveriblack"
"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
"$bumpmap" "memorial/aliveriblack_normal"
"$envmapsaturation" 1
"$envmapcontrast" 1
"$envmaptint" "[ .x .x .x ]"
"$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" 1

}

Thats what I used, I dont what to set the other values to.

give some values to the $envmaptint like [0.5 0.5 0.5] instead of [ .x .x .x ]

Edit: give us some idea of what you really want the texture to look like

Still looks the same :

Added cubemaps? Built the cubemaps?

Cubemaps have been added, and when I type buildcubemaps in the console, it still has that stupid checkerboard pattern.

It also has that pattern when in hammer.

The checkerboard patter means one of the material files is not properly loaded. I had this error and the problem was that the bumpmap (_normal) texture was not properly compiled.

Any idea how to fix it?

Never mind. I found what was wrong. I didnt realize you had to make a _normal map as well as the original .vtf.
