Tutorial
1. Go to the MMEffect tab in the top right corner and select 'Effect Mapping'.
2. Select the asset that you want to apply the shader to, and click 'Set Effect'.
3a. If you are applying the shader to a .pmd or .pmx file, go to the folder called 'PMDモデル用' and select 'MetallicDP.fx' and click 'OK'. The effect will not appear immediately, click 'Apply' and 'OK'.
3b. If you are applying the shader to an .x file, go to the folder called 'アクセ用' and select 'MetallicDP.fx' and click 'OK'. The effect will not appear immediately, click 'Apply' and 'OK'.
4. Go to 'Self-shadow manipulation' and select 'Off'. Alternatively, you can turn self-shadow off of individual models by going to 'Model manipulation', selecting the model and selecting 'shadow'.
5. You can add or remove reflective maps in the MME tabs 'EnvMapF' and 'EnvMapB'. These shaders are automatically loaded when MetallicDP.fx is loaded.
Tips
-Dance InterventionP describes MetallicDP as a simplified version of GlassDP, with specular reflections rather than dynamic hyperparabolic environment maps.
-MetallicDP requires you to turn off self shadow on the asset that you wish to apply it to.
-You can increase the quality of the environment map of MetallicDP by increasing the WIDTH and HEIGHT values in MetallicDP.fx.
-MetallicDP works best on subsets with many vertices.
