Making Opacity Maps

sziada

I am curious, I have been working on and there is quite a few areas of the model that I would love to have an opacity map for, I am just curious if there are any techniques or even a way to bake opacity for a low poly texture sheet, kinda curious because I have ran into this problem more than once and sick and tired of doing the tedious manual workflow. Call me lazy, but there must be a faster way, so if anyone can tell me please don't hesitate to answer.

I usually do it with simply assigning black and white materials to the hp, and then just bake that.

I've never thought of doing that way, thank you, this will save me a big time

A pic of your model and a sketch of what kind of opacity you want would reallly help. I've done things in 3ds Max with different material/uv setups to get opacity maps. We also have some info on the wiki... http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Texture_Baking#Transparency
