ANSWERED: Ddo not creating textures properly

Panadol

Hello,

I think the best way I can explain what's happening is with an example screenshot;

So as you can see, I created a fresh project and put the Dull Steel smart material onto a section of my mesh, which worked fine. After that, I tried applying the Varnished Oak material and it only gives me the colour values, no texture.

This happens every time I start a project, the first material (this happens with both smart and normal materials) applies okay and then anything after that is broken. Anything I can do to fix this?

I'm using 1.8 with the stability patch and Photoshop CC 2015.

Thanks in advance,
Sam

You are experiencing the same problem as me(posted here)

This problem only happen with Metalness setups. A workaround(less than ideal) is to start a project as specular, create your materials, then add in the metalness maps and remove the specular ones.

Thanks a lot, this work around is working for me.

echofourpara's solution is a viable workaround for now. Sorry about the hassle!

In fairness it was RezNik's workaround(here)

Ah hem.... :poly124:
thanks echo

2 other options:
You can also load up a Mat then close DDO, then reopen DDO and load another mat... wash and repeat.

And if you use the same 2 or 3 mats you can alt+drag the mask from the correct to the incorrect mask then use the "mask to all maps" function.

My bad! Thanks RezNik.
