[General] The back of the warcraft trees are dark!

[jonbon29]

Hello guys I notice this a long time ago, the trees in Warcraft have their back texture darken or it is not? Their default rotation is 270 which shows their brighter texture, appearently in this rotation value the doodad can't have random rotation when placing them. I did try to set the rotation to -1 to make them more different from each other and have different kinds of facing. However like I said their back part is darken like this http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/members/240088-albums7924-picture96421.html Any ideas how to make the back part brighten like the front in 270 rotation? BTW the trees in the picture are edited version of oger lords from his Warcraft HQ thread.

Welcome to the earth. That's called shadow :> The back part is darker because it doesn't get hit by light.

You might want to try another environment light models. Try underground or outland lights. Because they have different angles compared to the others. It's available on Scenario>Map Option> Custom Light Environment

Except if the texture is indeed darker.

their back texture darken

Nope its not shadow and I'm sure of that, becuz when I disable the shadow's by pressing ''S'', its still dark. Other trees that I imported here in the Hive is not like that.

Edit: Look at this

The tree itself is darkened at the back originally. It's either you keep using different rotations for the trees or modify the tree model in any model editor.

I true using different rotations but it doesn't help either, do you know what should I'll do in the model editor with it?

 

[Shadow Fury]

I have no skills in the model editor unluckily...

Try to press L instead of S. L key will remove light effect. If the darker spot isn't gone, so yeah, the problem comes from the model/texture.

 

[Shadow Fury]

If you press L, the trees will be brighter in the World Editor but not in the game.

 

[jonbon29]

Yup that's true I, right now I have done all possible solutions. Now I should find a guy who would help me brightening those dark parts of the tree.

Like I said, if it's caused by shadow, you just need to change your global light environment model. I thought the dark spot is because of the texture that's why I told you to press L.

I think you need to edit the model. Actually I remeber than you unshade it with Magos Model Editor.

Im sorry not. I do not mod wc3 anymore. I don't have any tools for it installed. But try playing around with it. I think it may be located under materials. Else ask in the model section.

I decided to give up on this, a friend of mine told me I should remake the skin and brighten up the dark part. But after that I'll have to import the skin which will cost a lot of kb's, anyway tnx for helping guys.
