Material Not Being applied?

[cybertrickle]

When I run this code I expect the mesh to look light blue, but its blinding white.

Code:

Public Sub InitClouds()
'    Dim BoxMin As D3DVECTOR
'    Dim BoxMax As D3DVECTOR
'    mModel.GetBoundingBox BoxMin, BoxMax, True
   
    Dim width As Single
    Dim length As Single
   
    Dim X1 As Single, Z1 As Single, X2 As Single, Z2 As Single

   
    X1 = (MapLength * Map.Size.x) * -1
    Z1 = (MapLength * Map.Size.Z) * -1
    X2 = (MapLength * Map.Size.x)
    Z2 = (MapLength * Map.Size.Z)
   
    Set mModel = scene.CreateMeshBuilder("Clouds")
    MatFactory.CreateMaterial "clouds"
    MatFactory.SetAmbient GetMat("clouds"), 0.3, 0.3, 0, 1
    MatFactory.SetDiffuse GetMat("clouds"), 0, 0, 0, 1
    MatFactory.SetEmissive GetMat("clouds"), 1, 1, 1, 0
    MatFactory.SetSpecular GetMat("clouds"), 0, 0, 0, 0
    MatFactory.SetPower GetMat("clouds"), 0
   
   
    mModel.AddFloor 0, X1, Z1, X2, Z2
    mModel.AddWall3D 0, X1, Z1, X1, Z2, -500
    mModel.AddWall3D 0, X1, Z1, X2, Z1, -500
    mModel.AddWall3D 0, X2, Z1, X2, Z2, -500
    mModel.AddWall3D 0, X1, Z2, X2, Z2, -500
    mModel.SetPosition 0, 300, 0
   
    mModel.SetMaterial GetMat("clouds")
   
   
End Sub

Try adding a "ComputeNormals" here:

Code:

    mModel.AddFloor 0, X1, Z1, X2, Z2
    mModel.AddWall3D 0, X1, Z1, X1, Z2, -500
    mModel.AddWall3D 0, X1, Z1, X2, Z1, -500
    mModel.AddWall3D 0, X2, Z1, X2, Z2, -500
    mModel.AddWall3D 0, X1, Z2, X2, Z2, -500
    mModel.SetPosition 0, 300, 0

    mModel.ComputeNormals

Before setting the material.

Thanks.. what exactly does that do anyway?

[cybertrickle]

ah. it didnt work.

Err

    MatFactory.SetAmbient GetMat("clouds"), 0.3, 0.3, 0, 1
    MatFactory.SetDiffuse GetMat("clouds"), 0, 0, 0, 1
    MatFactory.SetEmissive GetMat("clouds"), 1, 1, 1, 0
    MatFactory.SetSpecular GetMat("clouds"), 0, 0, 0, 0
    MatFactory.SetPower GetMat("clouds"), 0
   

this stuff seems a little weird
Try to use MatED tool to create the best material for this really..
Doesn't seem Blue :p

Lol.

But its not white either. Ill try that though.
