Simple PBR Demo

[Mr.Rocket]

Hi,

 

I've created a simple demo in pk3 format, map included, which shows how PBR can be setup.

I haven't seen much on the side of really useable downloadable examples, so here ya go.

I zipped it up so I could upload it here.

 

 

Requires the latest GZDoom or QZDoom to run.. 

Just extract it and then drag n' drop the pk3 on to your GZDoom or QZDoom exe, or load it up in GZDB, or dissect it, or modify it to your liking.

That's why I made it, hopefully it will help someone.

PBR Skulls FTW!

 

Added a mix of PRB and animated brightmaps:

Yay PRB brightmap checker board!

 

 

 

Cheers

That's cool, but I personally prefer everything for Gzdoom, simply because it runs on Android.

Are there plans to add PBT go GZ?

[Gez]

QZDoom is just a testbed for some experimental GZDoom features, and currently there is nothing that QZD can do that GZD cannot. Note that PBR was implemented directly in GZDoom, it has never been at any point exclusive to QZD. (On the other hand, it has been exclusive to GZD. There it's QZD that had to play catch-up.)

 

However, as far as GZD on Android goes, that depends on what version is currently bundled in Delta Touch, so I don't know if it's up-to-date enough to handle PBR.

[Mr.Rocket]

Ok yeah it seems I was running GZDoom 3.2x before which apparently PBR wasn't compatible with yet. ~ it wouldn't know what the keyword material was.

Updated the post to run the latest version, as I'm not sure the exact version(s) when PBR was adopted to GZ or QZ.

Evidently it was sometime after the 3.2x build though.

 

 

Thanks

[Gez]

They were added in 3.3.0

[Mr.Rocket]

Ah ok thanks for the look up Gez!

 

Oh and ah ha!

Texture tex_heightmap

I'll have to test this out.

Hi, 

 

I updated the OP with PBR+animated brightmaps also.

View the scripts of how I had to go about doing them.

 

Thanks

Which settings in options I need on to get it to work?

If you have the latest version of GZDoom and a modern enough GPU to display them, I believe the only thing you need to ensure is turned on is dynamic lights.

 

[ChrisVR]

That explains everything.

Apparently my GTX680 is not enough. :(

I play these two example files with GZDoom 3.6pre-2 on a GTX660 with no problems.

Nvidia driver 388.13

[ChrisVR]

I'm on 388.71, release date 12/20/2017

There seems to be no PBR at all...

GTX 680, Windows 7. Maybe that is the problem?

[Gez]

Windows 7 is definitely not the problem here.

[ChrisVR]

I tried Duke HRP Polymer with PBR textures and it just works, 3D effect is really strong, however, all the sample PBR for Doom are just really flat. I'm running gz 3.5.0.

[Kappes Buur]

Are you sure that you are starting with the OpenGL renderer

 

and not with the software renderer?

 

Done with gzdoom-3-5-0-x64

Yes, i browsed through all options and none of them looked like with depth. Maybe a single screenshot is misleading, but in my game is just a flat scrolling wall. The skulls don't seem to have any depth. I'll post a screenshot later

[ChrisVR]

Okay, I've got my textures to work, they are glossy and do reflect light source. But they are completly flat. There is no parallax at all, only an illusion. Is this going to get enhanced in the future?

 

Also, can you apply PBR to MD3 models? How?

Yes it's possible though I have forgotten the exact method. I could dig it up (I made a test model recently) but I'm too lazy so someone else will have to show you how to. But it's possible to do.

[ChrisVR]

Looking forward to. I tried to do it the same way as wall textures but i see no effect applied

[Mr.Rocket]

I've not got around to testing PBR with models yet, but if your model is already showing up in game as-is; You should be able to just apply PBR textures to the given material that the model is already displaying.

 

It is after all just that, an applied material.

 

 

[ChrisVR]

here is my code

// RPG FPP PBR
material texture 2544_rpg_d
{
 normal             models/firstperson/2544_rpg_n.png
 specular           models/firstperson/2544_rpg_s.png 
 specularlevel      8 // default 0.7
 glossiness         16 // default 8
}

and it does not seem to have any effect on model in game

i have even defined these model textures in textures.txt file, i even tried moving _d texture to folder textures - nothing worked

[hardcore_gamer]

Here is some code I had from my PBR test cube. I should point out though that this is a old file and that I barely even remember what this means since I haven't messed around with PBR for a while. Still perhaps it's useful for you:

 

material texture "models/cube/cube.png" {
    
    normal "materials/cube/cube_n.png"
    metallic "materials/cube/cube_m.png"
    roughness "materials/cube/cube_r.png"
    ao "materials/cube/cube_a.png"   
    
        
    // Note when creating textures: PBR Specular = inverted Roughness and vice versa      
    
    //specular "materials/testcube/testcube_s.png"
    //glossiness 10
    //specularlevel 10

}

material texture "models/cube/cube.png" {
    brightmap "materials/cube/cube_bm.png"
}

[ChrisVR]

so I need to take the _S texture, and invert its colors to save it as _R?

could it possibly matter if my PBR textures are sitting together in models folder?

How are you organizing your PBR materials? There are actually 2 ways to do this. The first is by using auto-load folders and the second more complex method of using a GLdef lump.

 

But like I said I haven't messed with PBR texturing for a while because I have been busy with other things and so I have kinda forgotten exactly how this works. Odds are you are going to have to wait for someone else to explain the details more since I have simply forgotten them :/

[ChrisVR]

i made gldef file with #include to my other file materials.gl. In there I have the code.

I keep my model textures together with MD3 file, so for example models/firstperson/model.md3 / model.png model_s.png

[ChrisVR]

Here is a weapon with PBR applied from HAL9000 - https://www.dropbox.com/s/d73rqwb816bq0xb/GZDOOM PBR WEAPONSSG SHOWCASE.rar?dl=0

 

I have followed the same way as the file above, but there is still no PBR attached to my model.

[Mr.Rocket]

I'd imagine you probably do, but do you have a dynamic light next to your model? you won't see PBR textures in Gzdoom otherwise.

 

[ChrisVR]

Yes, it's on. My custom wall textures display just fine but when i try to do it with md3 model, it does not..

[ChrisVR]

I still have not been able to get it to work on any MD3 model..

You need repak it into pk3 files. It works fine.
