Title: Shine Maps
Post by: Apollo on August 14, 2012, 09:14:52 am

Hey, what's the best way to change the color of a shine map without ruining it? Whenever I try changing its hue it doesn't reflect anymore for some reason.

EDIT: I can sort of work around this by recoloring the UV map and decreasing its opacity, but I'd still like to know how.

Whelp, look here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=64769.msg1276825#msg1276825) for 'How to make proper shinemaps', it explains the problem rather nicely. Also, what do you mean by not reflecting anymore? Do you use DXT5/DXT3?

I don't remember what kind of compression I used. What I mean by not reflecting is that the shine map doesn't work anymore.

EDIT: I changed the compression and that fixed it. Thanks!
