Its there (BR height map) and it was put in as a mistake but it seemes to work so ill go with that for now. As far as all the partial cube maps...i didnt like the way a single one looked so I took the same concept as Dirty metal with MC diffuse and applied the idea here. I cant get over teh Br height map though lol

its not that you look like a jackass, but try using the entire cubemap? it might look better.

I edited my first post before I saw this.

To be honest man I dont know much about how to do any of this im just messing around and read tuts so im not sure how to use a whole cube map

but I think my mistake material looks better than some other proper ones ive seen but thats just my opinion.

use reflect/refract instead of bitmap when you want to use a cubemap.

Hi, I'm having a problem, the Secondary is selected but I still get grayish spots.

Any Help is Aprreciated.

Darco · Post by **Darco** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 2:07 pm

thats because you didnt put the diffuse texture in the first slot of the composite. its the scratches/nicks on the armor. it goes with the rubber.

Ok, Thanks

Edit: Thank you so Much, I am trying get the visot right but when I apply the texture it changes the color of the Mc too, I cant get it just to the Visor And since in the tut it said to attach all parts IT wont let me select the visor by itself.

HEreshow my current Mc looks

Select the mesh
Click the Element button
Click the visor to select it
Set the material ID to 2
Use a Multi/Sub Object material type and have the visor and armor as different materials

yeah, you were supposed to apply materials before you attached them. but since you didnt, just follow Tural's instructions.

Err I tried Tural's way And I didnt understand the element thing. Could you put pictures.

Element is the big red box next to the big red square under the selection drop down.

1; click element
2; click the visor
3; in the box next to Set ID, put 2 then press enter.

Ok, i got it to work, but when i insert my MC_alpha into that one part so the reflection does not go on the rubber, it still went on it

I wanted to add the Battle Riffle to the scene of mine but I can't seem to extract ANY bump maps, I get a error when opening them in Photoshop. Any help?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 3:40 pm

What format are you extracting to?

Darco · Post by **Darco** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 3:42 pm

use entity ue 1.6, and save as something other than .dds
why do you need to open them in photoshop?

squid267 · Post by **squid267** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 5:28 pm

Hey look at my rigged Mc.

Thank Darco, my next project it to smooth out the the reflexives and pose the Mc with a weapon!
