I remember my trial ran out, so I decided to just go delete folders in places. Try C:\ProgramData
and deleting the CrazyBump folder, Im not sure if it will work because that folder of mine is empty :/

Just tried a few things and still can't get it. I might just have to shell out the $100 or whatever it is for a licence unfortunately.

Does anyone know of a tutorial, or can tell me how to add a spec map into the alpha channel of a base texture WITHOUT photoshop ? Help greatly appreciated !

you know that you can have the specular map in a separate file right? and call it with $envmapmask in your .vmt

-snip I'll break your computers-

[Lemmingz95]

Yeah, but I'm trying to use a bump map and a spec map. http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w...native_methods says that you have to have the spec map in the alpha channel of another texture when your using a bump map aswell, but it dosen't say how to do it.
Only other tutorial I've found uses photoshop.

@Xeonmuffin: how do you plan on using it?

@Lemmingz95: not at all, you can use both specular and bump/normal maps in 2 different files. so you'll have 3 textures for your material (diffuse, spec and norm)

As of now? That scrolling one can now be classified as a test since Firegod gave me this wonderful VMT - I've sent you a PM of what the texture will do (Mind the horrible wip-ness)

[Hazrd24]

So I was making a bunch of textures today, cropping them, removing all the defects, tiling, ect. I get through a good amount (like 10 or so textures), I haven't saved any of my work yet. I was thinking I probably should do that. I save one image, and go to the next one and the power goes out, and I lost all my progress. Feel like this is the only thread where I can vent my anger... That was bullshit

If you still want to know how PM me, I've done it on GIMP loads of times.

you want your spec map in the alpha channel of your normal map

It also sais that you must do this only on models. not hammer geometry.

It works fine on world geometry

I know, I'm just saying that you don't have to use this if it's for world geometry

You know, those textures would look a lot better with the bumpmaps if the diffuse didn't have such high contrast to begin with.

I know how to reset the CrazyBump trial. I'd be more than glad to share, just shoot me a message.

[macman100]

Do you think it's this one?







Thats what I get when looking at windows files on mac. Having absolutely no clue what it says.

Also, it seems as if it will only work to reset the trial under the condition that your trial hasn't already expired, unfortunately.

Here's a small image of a map I made using converted images from CGTextures.

How would I make speculars stand out more?

[Firegod522]

Put the cubemap inside of a bright area?

Nah, you can change the strength of the reflection in the vmt.
