IN PROGRESS: Unzipping the IDs

h0ntr

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a problem with unzipping some of the IDs. I made a model of a building with a lot of details. In the end I have got something around 30 different material IDs. After applying all the effects I zipped the finished parts. However, if I want to unzip some of the parts (some of them works just fine), dDo gets stuck on the "loading screen" with 0% progress (the loading screen remains displayed from that moment).
Furthermore, after unzipping some of the parts, the applied effects got moved for few pixels which completely destroyed the looks of the model.

Anyone with an advise how to fix it?

Thank you.

Hi!

I´m not entirely sure what you mean by "zipping".. sorry, could you explain a bit more in detail?

Hello,

I am quite new to this software so I probably didn't make my point clear or used the correct terminology (sorry about that).

I was refering to the functionality described in here: http://www.quixel.se/usermanual/ddo/doku.php?id=zipping

Oh my bad, I didn´t realize you were using the Legacy version of DDO
The Legacy version is actually before my time, but I can check with someone for you. Have you given any thought to upgrading to the New version?

Eric Ramberg

Its a free upgrade!

Oh ok, I was kind of used to the Legacy since i used it few years back, but I will try to upgrade and see if the problem goes away, thanks

Let me know how it goes

It looks more stable and a bit faster. However its a little bit different compared to the old dDo. I'm missing the option to edit the masks in dynamask by tangents space map and height map. Is it somehow possible to add those?

Depends on what you mean, I didn't use the legacy version of DDO very much at all. But there is a form of "fulhack" (ugly hack), as I would call it in Swedish. The only thing that matters in the Dynamask editor in the end is the current black/white information of the document it uses. Therefore, just adding anything on top of all the layers in the layer menu while in Dynamask will work. You can just drop the height map in there if you like, mod it so it looks like you want it to then apply the mask.
