This is the shader used on the vortigaunts in the intro sequence in Half-Life 2: Episode One. It blends a Flowmap with a illumination mask, and creates a similar effect to how water uses Flowmaps in newer engine branches. The shader can be both used on brushes and models.
Shader parameters
$unlit <bool>- Whether or not the material should be lit.
$flowmap <texture>- Flowmap to use.
$entityorigin <vector>- The point which the model will be squished to. The entire model will try to be squished into that point. If unspecified becomes the world origin by default, [0 0 0]
$warpparam <float>- Warping amount toward the specified $entityorigin. 1.0 leaves the model unaffected, lower values squish more, while 0.0 makes it practically invisible.
Todo: Test on brushes more. Do they have an origin? Try with entity brushes (ex. func_brush). They have origins.
$selfillummap <texture>- A $selfillummask to blend with the Flowmap.
Supported effects
Example
Example showing the minimal needed parameters in order to make the shader work.
