Member nuverian Posted January 17, 2008 Member Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I wonder... is is somehow able to load a normal and/or specular map and show it? Without it it breaks the workflow I think...For example, I created a normal map and specular of my model from and then, the next day, I want to do a slight change, so I load them in Photoshop and do so... But then... what I have for final and what I have in doesnt much... One way I tought it could be easily done, is through the external editor synchronization (in "commands"), but from what I can see, only color maps are exported with this method...right? Thanks in advance... (maybe this thread could be in "requests" forum.Couldn't decide ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Shpagin Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 It seems that you can export import specular map. But normal map... This question was discussed there several times. I think some day it will be done, but it is really complex mathematical problem. Yes, syncronisation is done only for color. May be I can synk specular like alpha-channel... But depth... ?

Member nuverian Posted January 18, 2008 Author Member Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I cant find how to import specular map My suggestion on normal map import is that: The loaded normal map will be loaded with an overlay blend mode to the allready existing one...The high poly mesh will not realy be displaced by that map since I understand this is hard to be done correctly. But if it is overlayed then I think that it will suffice.. About synch, I have some nice ideas (as well as others) wich I will share when I have fully discovered the software, since I dont want to tell inacurate things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Shpagin Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I plan to add this mode in nearest future because of really many requests. NM will not displace geometry, but will be modulated by new details. Export of combined NM also will be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
