[SOLVED] Phong not working on model?

[Mixsup]

I'm currently working on a custom model and am hitting a wall when it comes to getting phong to work. The VMT for the head of the model looks like this:

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "models/0Mixton/blade man/head_d"
"$bumpmap" "models/0Mixton/blade man/phong"

"$phong" "1"
"$phongexponent" "30"
"$phongboost" "15"
}

I've experimented with bump maps of my own before taking a blank bump map from another model, I've tried boosting the phong values to absurd numbers but there seems to be no visible difference.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

oh neat, a megaman model. It's megaman right?

anyways, you have to add a phong material and use the $phongexponenttexture command in the vmt. I'm not entirely sure which modeling program you use or if you're just porting, but I hope this helps.

I'm not an expert on this by the way, I'm just going by a reference chart for 3ds Max.

As far as I'm aware, to have phong, you need at least:

$Phong 1
$PhongBoost ~Number~
$PhongExponent ~Number~ OR $PhongExponentTexture ~Texture~
$PhongFresnelRanges ~3 Numbers~

And you don't have the last one. To use multiple numbers, you're gonna have to write something like "[A B C]", with quotes and square brackets, however you could just use a single number. (But I highly recommend 3 numbers. Personally, I use "[1 1 2]" in my materials.)

Thanks for the help, everyone. $PhongFresnelRanges did the trick!

Yep, Pipann, it's Blade Man from Mega Man 10. I'm planning to create the 8 robot masters from MM10 and release them as a pack - still a ways to go yet.

I checked back what the vmt codes are for a model I made the other day.

edit: Ah! Looks like you solved the problem. Way to go! :D

I've enjoyed the megaman battle network series a lot, so it's nice to see some megaman stuff coming this way. Looking forward to seeing them on the workshop!
