#Metallic Paint
zealous sparrow
pseudo nebula
can u elaborate
zealous sparrow
It’s just paint that is metallic
native pumice
As in base paint or decals
grizzled sandal
This isn't unreal engine metallic texture
grizzled sandal
In unreal engine it's not just a colour, it's a feature for textures to be as it will reflect stuff and be shiny just like metal
Like metallic gold
zealous sparrow
Is it possible?
native pumice
Decals are the shapes, base paint is the base color and texture of the hull
native pumice
Is it possible?
Not in the halfling engine probably
zealous sparrow
Rip

Would probably need a code rewrite plus a new layer, and that would be too much effort
zealous sparrow
Aw man
fluid minnow
pseudo nebula
a vague "metallic" does not tell anything

only thing i could think of is instead of metallic being a "color", what if instead you had a way to change the roof texture of blocks
it probably still wouldnt turn out as "metallic" but it would probably work better than just having a specific "metallic color"

you can though? there's a base paint

the only thing i can guess this person wants is diamond plate
is this what you are asking for ?
radiant anvil
diamond plates would be cool
grizzled sandal
metals are probably going to take a lot of physics work to add though
especially since something like a dc cannon projectile can pass over creating light that will shine on it
carmine marlin
you can though? there's a base paint
there is but i dont know if that could get a "metallic" look, since it is still handled as paint
radiant anvil
yknow this reminded me of normal map decals maybe
native pumice
The closest you can get to a metallic look is the already implemented shadow on part roofs that depend on the sun
carmine marlin
how exactly do the roof normals work anyway
zealous sparrow
I want shiny paint that reflects stuff
carmine marlin
yeah that wouldnt really work well
its a top down game
even if it did reflect stuff (more than it already does) i dont think there would be much to reflect
native pumice
Your face...

sonar
tracktor
deck cannon
mining laser
item tractor
native pumice
Don't fancy lights already do that with the roof normals?
radiant anvil
mirror
carmine marlin
you would be able to slightly see reflections on other ships perhaps
but i dont think it would be worthwhile
pseudo nebula
item tractor
so it is just white paint that shows like 6 things twice
noble cosmos
at this point it would probably just be paint that uses your webcam to show you what you look like
