Disable In-Game Lighting Per Object?

[ColtonD719]

Is there a way to disable the in-game lighting/shading for a specific model?

I am asking because I have made a tree wall to go behind some billboard trees. Since the billboards aren't affected by lighting, but the tree wall statue is, the wall doesn't blend as nicely depending on the angle.

Here's an example:

At the top the wall is fully lit, and blends in with the billboards nicely. At the bottom, the wall is in shade, so it appears darker than the billboards in front of it.

In most cases, the in-game shading is desired. But I would like to turn it off for this particular object.

Thanks!

Use -2 for the specular exponent. Example:

JM1
-2.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000

That worked perfectly. Thanks!

Care to share the results? I'm curious.

This is from the same angle as the bottom half of the first picture. I'll have more to show soon. I'm pretty happy with how this is looking so far. One thing I've noticed is that it's important to keep the billboards far enough from the wall that they don't intersect, as that creates some weird artifacts from a distance.

Is it just me that doesn't see a difference?

nope

Ha. Bottom of first pic, background trees are dark. Most recent pic, all trees are the same brightness. It's a lot more obvious in game. In any case, the point is to make the tree wall indistinguishable from the billboards, so mission accomplished?

Ye i can see it now you've said that, if what you was trying to get was it all to blend etc i think you've done a great job.
