H1mself1to Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Heya amazing folks and sorry to bother! There is a type of normal map (I think it is a normal) that I've been trying to reproduce with no success. (For learning and maybe release a small mod). Here are 3 dds textures and its _n versions:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1F1YaMK2-ErKOVLDsYBVsPsQZ6YA2lkM0 What I've tried: Using the Normal Map Plus plugin, but it becomes something very different: https://imgur.com/UjjlobC And using the alpha mask (Control+C the whole image before apllying mask), it looks similar to the desired one but I dunno how to proceed after that (nomal map plus fubars the whole image again). https://imgur.com/AEogC48 Would you be so kind as to tell +or- how to create these _n from its base image? Specially the one for dirtrubble_n , looks almost fully blank/transparent but does a lot of difference ingame. Maybe I should use a different program for this type of map effect? Thanks in advance to all of you who help and make this program/world all the more lovely! 😃 Edited December 11, 2019 by H1mself1to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, these are done by using the normal map plus plugin right? I want to learn (more or less) how to make those same _n versions contained in the googledrive folder. Guess those were made using alpha? Thought it was normal map because of the _n https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Assets_Naming_Convention I tried a bit and then looked for videos about alpha but they are either too simple or too complex. Was hoping there is a fast/sure way to create those _n maps (like a filter or dunno, similar to the way normal map plus plugin works). But if its something overly complicated guess I should just skip adding custom textures. If its kinda lengthy process and hard to explain, feel free to link a video or tutorial! And many thanks!!

Nice, seems like this can produce those same kinds of maps! Now just gotta do lots of testing welshblue and TrevorOutlaw thanks a ton! Edit - For the record, how are these types of images called? Just so I can reference it correctly in the future. Edited December 14, 2019 by H1mself1to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
