Re: The Gamedev Cast is answering questions about PBR!
Do spec maps still work the same or does it change. Ue4 has spec maps so this is kinda confusing. Do I still have to account for conservation of energy on the spec and gloss maps? -
Re: How to add gloss specular shader in substance painter?
This is the latest Spec Gloss shader: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9804576/PBRSpecGlossNrmShadows.glsl Copy the file in your C:\Users\...\Documents\Substance Painter\shelf\shaders folder.

Re: E3-Nintendo
what specs.... They`ve said jack shit about specs, besides that it wont be using bluray, but rather their own developed format, flash memory inside, and an IBM processory. Thats about it. No real specs there. -
Re: sci-fi control console asset.
Hey guys, thanks for the comments! So in response to both gsokol & Buttershoes, regarding the spec/surface stuff, I think the shot I posted was just really back lit, here is one with more light being cast directly on the surface, exposing more of the spec detail/damage: I think what I don't like about lighting it more… -
Re: EricV's work thread

Re: My Environment Assets

Re: Getting better at male character

Re: Props for Games
I think you'll get different responses for that question. I like to put my spec map in the spec color slot. I've also seen spec maps come in both b/w versions and muted color versions as well. -
Re: ANSWERED: About Gloss Maps!!!
Hey ToRuKMactO, Glossiness is a parameter of the specular part of your shader material. If you consider that Specular (aka Specular reflection) is a reflection of the environment around your object where black on your spec map indicates 0 reflection and white indicates very reflective then glossiness indicates to the…
