[Solved] Detail normal 'value' issue

Post by hedphelym »

Hi,
we're having some issues with some of the shaders, it seems that the 'value' in the json only affects the "detail_normal0".
If we then add the same as 'detail_normal1' then the value of the normals are not affected (basically '1'), regardless of what we put in 'value' in the material file.

Two examples:

This works - and 'value' can be altered, the normals works as expected.

Code: Select all

"detail_normal0" : 
{
			   "uv" : -1,
			   "offset" : [0.0,0.0],
			   "scale" : [0.1,0.1],
			   "value" : 0.1,
			   "texture" : "normal.png", 
			   "sampler" : "undefined"
},

With this one - the 'value' has no effect, if it's set to '0' then it still shows as full value on the normals in the map.

Code: Select all

"detail_normal1" : 
{
			   "uv" : -1,
			   "offset" : [0.0,0.0],
			   "scale" : [0.1,0.1],
			   "value" : 0.1,
			   "texture" : "normal.png", 
			   "sampler" : "undefined"
},
I cannot immediately see that there is something wrong with the json parse code itself, so I'm wondering where the problem lies.
Has anyone of you seen the same problem?

I suspect the reason could be that setProperty( *PbsProperty::DetailNormalWeights[validDetailMaps], 1 ); is not being set properly.

Do you have a dump of the generated shaders in charge of rendering that object? (with dumped properties, ensure Hlms::mDebugOutputProperties is true)

Edit: I may be misunderstanding the problem. Could you post a modified example with the problem and a few pics?

I do not have time for the output of the shaders today (busy day at the office with meetings etc), but I can look into that tonight or tomorrow morning.
It seems like the index is wrong (like you are saying).

If I add a normal map in both 'detail_normal0' and 'detail_normal1' and set both to 'value : 0' - the bump is not showing (as expected).
If I then unplug the one in 'detail_normal0' and leave the 'detail_normal1' as previously (with value 0) it then shows 'detail_normal1's map as if it's with value '1' in the generated shader.

So it seems the index is '0' for 'detail_normal1' when only 'detail_normal1' is assigned to the material, and not index '1'.

Hope this explains it better, let me know if you need more info.

Hi!

Because I'm usually busy, it would help me a ton if there's just a snippet of code I can copy paste into one of the samples so I can repro the problem quickly.
Having extra files is also OK.

Even if it'd be is easy for me to repro, all the time I can save helps!

I was able to reproduce the issue now in code.
Took some time to get everything up and running tonight, but now I have a easy example for you to test with.

As you can see in my screenshot - the red spheres have detail normal mapping applied,
even thought the 'setDetailNormalWeight' is set to zero (PBSM_DETAIL1_NM).

The green spheres has a map set in PBSM_DETAIL0_NM, and also has 'setDetailNormalWeight' set to '0' - they appear as expected.
