[Request] Glass Texture

Sarah · Oct 22, 2009

I'm looking for a glass texture that you can't see though, if that make sense?

There are some window models that give the illusion of glass yet you can't see through any of them. I'm not sure how to recreate that in a more believable context for windows like the one in this example.

Any help or a solution to my problem would be greatly appreciated! I have a lot of windows on this map which I want to keep without ruining gameplay and causing high fps, due to the visibility!

Thanks!

Try taking one of the glass textures in the game and create a new .vmt removing the translucent and alpha from it. For example, create a text file and change the name and extension to "mycustomglass.vmt" and paste this code

Code:

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
	"$baseTexture" "glass/glasswindow002c"
	"$surfaceprop" "glass"
        "$envmap env_cubemap"
	"%keywords" "tf"
}

Save it in team fortress 2/tf/materials. Use it in the game and see if it's the effect that you are looking for. If you don't like the glasswindow002c texture, change this line of the vmt:

Code:

replace "$baseTexture" "glass/glasswindow002c"

Thanks! I will give this a try later and let you know how I get on. There's always a lack of texture tutorials
