The $detail VMT parameter specifies the VTF texture to use for adding detail to the material surface. It is a greyscale image usually used (in conjunction with "$detailscale") to add higher resolution detail to the $basetexture.
Basic VMT syntax
"$detail" "Path/DetailmapA"
- where
Pathis the filepath relative to thegame_directory/materialsfolder. - where
DetailmapAis the filename; ieDetailmapA.vtf.
Notice the .vtf file extension is not used in VMT texture references.
Additional parameters
$detailscale
"$detailscale" float
Scales $detail texture where float value is the scale factor.
$detailframe
"$detailframe"
- dx9
- TO DO
$detail_alpha_mask_base_texture
"$detail_alpha_mask_base_texture"
- dx9
- TO DO ... something to do with masking by the alpha channel of either $basetexture or $detail?
