Answered: DDO not importing an ID

NAIMA

Hi I have another small problem with an ID not importing , on the BMP map there is the solid red color of the ID but when DDO imports it and creates the ID masks that ID gets a blank space .. I am wondering why? How to fix? also I tried to give it a standard material from the fbx swatch file but same result , a blank space so I cannot fill with a material in ddo ... any ideas? I am linking to the file so you can take a look in case...

This is due to DDO filtering out the color mask because it either has noise in it or due to it being too small. Paint that color in your UV gutters, perhaps something like 100 pixels worth of it, and then reimport.

you mean painting out of the borders of the uv?

Yes. This will force DDO to bypass the noise filter for small colors like the area you've linked. Alternatively, if it's full of noise, you'll need to clean the IDs manually or rebake them with higher quality settings.
