dDo2 gloss map import fail into UDK

djgardner · Mar 2014

So I'm getting into using dDo for my texturing now that it's gone free, but seem to be having trouble with importing gloss maps into UDK.

I have no problem importing other maps created in dDo, or even gloss maps made by hand.

I posted my normal import settings for textures. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

Make sure the image resolution is a power of 2 (64x64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, etc)

Yes I have the resolution at 1024.
I thought maybe the file was corrupt so I re-opened it in Photoshop but it's fine.
Renaming the file doesn't change anything and neither does downscaling.

What's the image mode? Are you trying to import a grayscale texture by mistake? What bitrate? Can you post an example image?

Stupid question, but it's a .TGA right? I know dDo likes to save as jpeg, which UDK doesn't know what to do with. Have you tried resaving it?

RGB, no greyscale and 18-bit
Here is my dDo output window:

If I save my gloss from just the Photoshop save method it imports fine, so it seems there is a problem within dDo that does something when saving through them. Still a hassle having to do that extra step.

It is definitely not RGB. Ddo saves out the gloss map as a greyscale image, you have to convert it in PS. Just go to image > mode > RGB.

I don't know if I'm understanding the above correctly, but I found that sometimes when I rendered to texture from 3ds Max some of the maps wouldn't import into UDK.

In the end (eventually) I found in photoshop that converting it from a 16 bit image to an 8 bit image made it work again?
