SealEngine manages a 41-float light parameter set (serialized as .lit
file) for tone mapping, hemisphere lighting, and light scattering. This
adds the storage and HLL plumbing, without wiring values into shaders.
- A DIRECTIONAL_LIGHT instance owns a parameter set, filled by loading a
.lit file (RE_instance_load).
- SealEngine.StoreInstanceLightParam() reflects that presets into the
plugin's master buffer, which is used by the renderer.
- SealEngine.LoadInstanceLightParam() copies the master back into an
instance, and Reset()/Set()/Get() operate directly on the master.
In TapirEngine, CalcIntersectEyeVec() only worked on models with a
"collision" mesh. In SealEngine, a raycast collider is built from the
union of meshes flagged HeightDetection=true in .opr.
Also return the nearest intersection instead of the first.
.mpr is an optional sidecar to .mot used by SealEngine, replacing .txa
used in ReignEngine / TapirEngine. While .mot drives bone poses, .mpr
drives material properties on a per-frame timeline.
Supported keys, all keyed by frame number:
Object{MulAlpha,MulDiffuse,AddAmbient} : applied to the whole model
Mesh{MulAlpha,MulDiffuse,AddAmbient} : applied per named mesh
MeshTextureAnime : swap diffuse texture index
Colors and alpha use linear interpolation between keys. Out-of-range
frames hold the nearest endpoint.
Mesh* tracks act as per-mesh tints and do not leak to other meshes
that happen to share a material. MeshTextureAnime is the exception:
it rewrites the shared material's diffuse slot, so all meshes using
that material animate in sync (e.g. in Rance 9, hanny_black_move.mpr
lists only hibana_R but hibana_L animates together).
POL v4 introduces material groups with texture blending. A material's
sub-material can be a "blend group" containing exactly two leaf
materials, whose textures are blended using per-vertex weights for
smooth terrain transitions.
Skinned models can have multiple texture images for animation. When a
material colormap in the .pol file is `image.png`, additional images are
stored with names like `image[1].png`, `image[2].png`, etc.
Animation frame information is stored in `<motion_name>.txa` file. This
is a text file containing newline-separated integers, specifying the
texture index for each motion frame.
In ReignEngine, alpha blending is the default. Alpha testing is used if
the mesh/material has the (sprite) attribute.
In TapirEngine, alpha testing is the default. Alpha blending is used if
the mesh/material has the (alpha) attribute.
ReignEngine is the 3D rendering engine used in Toushin Toshi III, and is
the predecessor of the 3D engines for Rance Quest, Rance 9, Evenicle,
etc.
This implements minimal functionality to be able to draw the first 3D
dungeon scene. Many important parts such as motion and lighting are not
implemented yet.
