help with gloss maps

juguefre

Hi, can someone point me a good tutorial to make gloss maps? also where do you put those maps in maya? I haven't found any "gloss" slot to put this particular map in the material slots in maya 2011. thank you in advance.

You have to be using a phong shader in Maya for them to work, blinn flat out refuses to show them, connect your gloss map to cosine power

No idea about a tutorial though, they're fairly straight forward just experiment you'll pick it up quickly



Quick edit because apparently blinn's do work and I forgot something important since I rarely bother with gloss maps, turn on alpha is luminance under your color balance for your gloss texture.
