marmo y u so dumb

Olli.

so ive been annoyed by this since i started using marmoset like 3 years ago.. usually ends up in me giving up and switching back to xoliuls for the remainder of texturing... but now. i will fight back.

i want to know why marmoset always highlights my specular details.. even though there is no light reflecting off the damn surface...

halp pls

Looks like you have a high amount of spec and low gloss, so it's picking up ambient light.

Olli.

right.. i havnt figured out how to add a gloss map to marmo since some genius decided to cram them in to the same texture slot, so im assuming its defaulting to 0.. how do i adjust gloss?

How about instead of insulting the guys who made the tool you just read the documentation

Gloss map goes in the alpha channel of your spec map, and is adjusted by the specular sharpness slider.

Olli.

sorry im just a bit worked up about having this problem for so long and not finding the answer..

alright ive managed to save the alpha map but the problem persists.. moving the sharpness slider does produce different results but the specular still glows hot when it shouldnt no matter what i do... also my gloss map managed to make my steel look like glass even though i have the gloss map to near dark (which should mean low-gloss matte surface right?)

Maybe you have too much contrast between darks and lights in your specular map. What does your gloss map and specular map look like anyways?
It looks like your specular is really dark, then the scratches and wear are really bright.

-Also there's a thread for Marmoset problems :P

Olli.

spec:

gloss:


it cant really be the maps since those exact textures look just dandy in xoliuls, 3ps, ce3, ce2.

Your lighting looks a bit messed up in general here, do you have object space enabled with a tangent space normal map?

Also, make sure you're saving your spec as 32 bit and not 24 bit.

Olli.

nope normal maps are just fine.. ive tried adjusting the gloss map to brighter overall, but no effect.. i cant get a matte surface no matter what..
