RE: Smoke's models (Taking requests) - OriginalUsername - 04-08-2013
Okay, I got the ao map done, thanks for that
. But do you have any tips on how to create the spec map? Just lay everything down in the uv texture editor, take a snapshot, load in into gimp or photoshop, and start painting everything? It feels like it's too easy

There's the easy solution: Dessaturate the pic and regulate the black and white (and grey) in the black and white levels. It's what I do to get a fast specular map.

And now in words which a non-english guy can understand?

Dessaturate is a feuture you use to remove the color from your image.

Aha, thank you

I just downloaded a program called crazybump. It seems like this program will make all the different files (AO, normal, etc.) Is this the right way? Or will it mess up my textures?
RE: Smoke's models (Taking requests) - The chaser - 04-08-2013
It depends. Go to the specular thing, and go trying. You know, save and look at the material editor. The result changes automatically
PD: I'm not english either, I'm Spanish, but with this forum I have learnt a lot.

I know, but I just didn't know what dessaturate ment
Edit: I understand the problem with the specular map, that won't work because the program doesn't know how shiny it should be, right?
2nd edit: Also, is there a better way to scale down my model so it isn't needed in the level editor? Just scale everything down in maya or is there a better way in the modeleditor? (I've tried it in the modeleditor, but it made an .ent instead of an .dae file.)
RE: Smoke's models (Taking requests) - Traggey - 04-08-2013
You don't really want to make anything else but Normal and Cavity maps with crazybump, unless you're making a tiling texture, Crazybump does not produce proper spec/AO/Height maps.

Alright, I'll keep that in mind. And how about my other question? About the scaling?
