The tuturoal was helpful,but what I’m look for is to use a little bit of the shader no the whole thing.

You could apply the shader to a primitive then re save it with just the parts you want to save.

Omg,I have no ide on how to do that

In the save dialouge check custom and it will give you a list of all the surface settings that you could save out. You can save as many or as few as you like. Just remember that not saving some of the settings will drastically change the look you get when you render your shader.

Ok,i have no ida on what that looks like,proble seen it but don’t know what it is. I’m realy new at this.

When you click the little plus sign at the bottom or go to the save as drop down one of the options is to save as a shader. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean by “a little bit of the shader”.

I have Gor Domes blood splaters and dont want to use the whole thing just parts fo effect.

ohhhh.. As in you don’t want it everywhere on the surface your using? I don’t have gor dom and I’m not really that familiar with LIE shaders. My best guess is you could alter the transparency map in a 2d app so that it exposes less of the gor. I’m not sure if tiling is a factor or not. That might pose a problem if it is. I’m afraid we have reached the point where I’m not much help.

Quickest way to do it is still a pain in the ass, if your machine’s light on RAM. It will take forever to get anything done, but… Just open the material selector dropdown on the surface (GoreDom only uses diffuse, doesn’t it?) and click on ‘Open Layered Image Editor…’ Then just resize the overlay layer a bit. If the shape isn’t pleasing to you, open the texture in the image editor of your choice and tweak it a bit, then replace the image for that layer with the tweaked one.

Do I do this often? No. It’s a pain in the ass. But, I do it when I have to. (Also, I’m still using DS3, so things may not be in -exactly- the same places, for you.)

I looked at the product in the store and it sounded like it used transparency as well. But I could be way out in left field since I don’t have the product.

Ok,Does any know of a product that I can use?

What sort of gor are you needing Steve? So you need it on a set place on something?

Not just gore but anything from small wounds to gor.(stabs,slices,ect)I can use gor dom but I need something small to start with.  I got to get to work now so I’ll read the answer when I get home.

SimonMW’s sounds like it has more flexibility as far as generations go, is a much newer product and is much larger.

This one does not look as large but the price point is slightly lower.

I don’t have either of the products though so I can’t give you an owners perspective.
