Make a Simple 3D Web Car Game Part 5 Improving the Appearance of the Game Using Matcap Textures
This is the fifth tutorial in a series that show how to convert a car game made for the Blender game engine so that it will play in a web browser (using Blend4web).
The original game consisted of a car driving into spinning gemstones to score points, avoiding obstacles that reduce health.
The next few tutorials, including this one, will look at improving the appearance of the game.
This tutorial will look at using ‘matcap’ textures. Matcap is an abbreviation for ‘material capture’, a material captured in a small image file.
Matcaps are images of surfaces, with highlights and reflectlections that are not 'real' but they work well in a web browser.
In the tutorial, different colored glass matcaps are applied to the gemstones and the car windows.
A matcap for a red shiny metallic material is applied to the car body.
