Compiling mesh's with two materials help!

SirMustard · Oct 2013

Hey guys. So I have finally finished modelling/texturing my weapon for the Workshop but I have ran into a problem. My mesh has two parts, the hilt and the head; and each of these parts have their own textures. How do I go about getting them working to import into Dota.

Also how do you import standard bump maps into dota; do they need to be the normal maps? and is the Mask 1 and Mask 2 textures really needed?

Thank you.

Hey; when I say are they needed I mean can you just upload a blank version of the Mask so I can test it on the dota client. No need to be a smartass; looking answers not remarks.

You have to use normal maps, you can convert your bump into a normal map with various tools, google that. Masks are absolutely required for compiling. You are going to have to merge your objects into 1 single piece of geometry with 1 UV set for export. This means you are going to have to re-arrage your UV's so that they don't overlap and can co-exist in the same space. You can reproject your current Textures to your new UVs (before you merge the two piece of geo into one) so that you don't have to paint anything again, that process varies depending on your software, you can find guides. gl.

Your item can only have one texture map so you will have to redo them. Also take the time to make the masks.
