SOLVED: How to export to alternating file name suffixes? (cryengine calibration)

akaChris

Hi guys,

I`m trying to setup a proper export pipeline for cryengine, which requires for the normal map with gloss to be saved as _ddna, albedo as _diff and specular as _spec. How can I define suffixes like that in export or in the calibration profile?

btw the current cryengine calibration seems off. Below is what I think should be correct (copies gloss to normal alpha). Also: shouldn't the y be flipped in the projects settings for cryengine? cryengine expects -y while xnormal is supposed to provide ddo with an +y normal?

cheers,
Chris

#include common/functions.jsx

// Exports maps for CryEngine
// Uses Gloss (instead of Roughness)
// Supports Metalness
// Bumps Normal

function Calibrate()
{
var mapType = GetMapType();
switch(mapType)
{

case "Normal":
case "Bump":
var normal = GetBumpedNormal(mapType);
AddAlphaMap(normal, "Gloss");
return normal;

case "Gloss":
var gloss = GetMergedMap();
ApplyGGXCurve(true);

return null;

default:
return GetMergedMap();
}
}

function Finish()
{

}

Thanks akaChris for the question and for the additional information! For this you can use the SetMapType function. I have now updated the CryEngine calibration profile as per your specifications:

#include common/functions.jsx

// Exports maps for CryEngine
// Renames maps to expected CE standard
// Uses Gloss (instead of Roughness)
// Supports Metalness
// Bumps Normal

function Calibrate()
{
    SetSaveAlpha(false);
    SetIgnoreSuffixType(true);
    var mapType = GetMapType();
    switch(mapType)
    {
        case "Normal":
            SetMapType("ddna");
            var normal = GetBumpedNormal(mapType);
            
            FlipY();
            AddAlphaMap(normal, "Gloss");
            ApplyGGXCurveToChannel(true);
            
            return normal;	

         case "Albedo":
            SetMapType("diff");
            return GetMergedMap();
            
        case "Specular":
            SetMapType("spec");
            return GetMergedMap();
            
        case "Gloss":
        case "Bump":
            return null;
            
        default:
            return GetMergedMap();
    }
}

function Finish()
{
    
}

I've uploaded the files here:

http://quixel.se/suite/CryEngine.jsx (goes in script/calibration)
http://quixel.se/suite/functions.jsx (goes in script/calibration/common)

This will now be part of 1.7. Let me know if it does not work as expected and I'll fix it up ASAP.
