Solved: Prebaked opacity doesn't carry over into 3do?

Rekov

I'm not sure if this is intentional or not. When you load a pre-baked opacity texture into ddo, it doesn't seem to carry through to 3do. You have to import the texture again in 3do, and you have to do this each time you load the project. Is there a way around this? Does the pre-baked opacity option just not work at all, or does it get incorporated when you export your textures at the end?

Add the Opacity channel via DDO's menu and you'll see your pre-baked texture. I'll forward this on as a request to add in automatically for that particular slot. Thanks!

Thanks! That cuts out some of the steps at least.

Hopefully this is helpful info: I loaded the prebaked opacity map and added the channel via DDO as you suggested, and it works initially. If you put a material on that section of the model, it stops working and you have to enable it again through 3DO for it to work.

It's not that it isn't working, it's that the material you added is overlaying the opacity of the texture by stacking on top of it. Check your Opacity channel, you'll see what I mean.

Just move the pre-baked texture to the very top of the layer stack and force-refresh. Should fix it right up.
