Overview:
Shader pack vol.2 "Glow effects" is a shader collection of 10 shaders for the Torque 3D game engine. These shaders produce glow effects based on the Post FX system. Glow effects are often used on objects such as lamps, burning objects, gems, players, enemies, energy fields and others and are essential part of almost every game. This shader package gives you the opportunity to replace the default glow effect in Torque 3D with a new one. Every shader in this collection uses a unique algorithm to produce glowing. The shaders are supplied with parameters that change color, brightness, range of glowing, etc.
No matter if you are a beginner or advanced programmer. This collection comes with examples for every shader and a complete manual.
Shader pack vol.2 consists of:
![]() |
1.Depth Glow Produces glowing rays based on near and far depth colors. The algorithm is based on a linear interpolation between the two colors. |
|---|---|
![]() |
2.Radial Glow Produces glowing rays based on a radial perturbation. The color of the glowing rays is adjustable. |
![]() |
3.Misty Glow The glow effect produced by this shader is based on bluring near-by pixels. |
![]() |
4.Hard Glow The glow in this effect is based on horizontal and vertical filters through several taps. |
![]() |
5.Flare Glow This effect produces a radiance based on exponential steps. |
![]() |
6.Mask Glow This shader uses two filters (texture coordinates and a mask filter). |
![]() |
7.Power Glow This shader produces a powerful radiance. |
![]() |
8.Power Flare Glow This shader produces a heavy glow effect with a very high quality. |
![]() |
9.Heat Glow This shader produces an animated glow effect with a certain speed and spread. The shader has many parameters and multiple variations can be achieved. It best suits for burning objects, lamps, lava, etc. |
![]() |
10.Magic Rays Produces glowing rays. The color of the rays depends on the diffuse map used by the shape. The rays' direction can be adjusted to single/all. |
The shaders are ready to use. No engine modifications are needed to start using them. The shaders also provide various parameters. They are described very well in the manual and can be used to easily customize your glow effects.
