So, after the interesting thread about putting bullets on
walls, I was wondering what people usually do to put
scorch marks (or any other decals) on arbitrary geometry.
It seems that most methods work well for regular or
"known" geometry: height fields, quads, etc.
The two ways I could think of so far are:
- Use projective textures. I haven't used this before. What kind
of performance hit does it involve?
- Try to "face-map" the geometry we want to scorch to use
texture coordinates from 0.0 to 1.0 in a regular way, and then
draw it again with the scorched texture. This is particularly
tricky if the geometry isn't face-mapped to start with, and especially
if we want to do it without modifying the geometry at all (would need
to find a texture transform that maps the original uvs into what we
need).
How are people doing that today in games? Any recommendations
or ideas would be most welcome.
Cheers.
