I know gloss as alpha of spec works fine for me but I haven't tried spec as alpha of diffuse. Assuming you've set the option correctly in ddo and have exported as a file format that supports alpha then it must be a bug.
it really isn't a waste, there might not be much to look at it but it makes all the difference as specular maps (in doom 3 particularly) seem to be extremely sensitive. but lowering the spec to 256 is perfectly acceptable depending on the amount of differing details in the spec map.

Ah, wow, that really just cleared everything up for me. Thanks! Another quick question though, do people still use spec maps? I still see people mention spec maps here and there.
This is pretty cool man. Can we see your diffuse/spec maps? Right now it looks a little flat to me. Maybe add some variation in the spec map? I would love to see this in game.
Your specs are well above the ideal specs for SD, you should be fine. I would indeed recommend sending us an email so we can upgrade you to 5.0 and see if it solves the performance issue.
yeah i run a sharpen after im done with the spec and everything else. I try to keep the diffuse maps, sort of lack luster when it comes to contrast as well. I get that and sharper details with the specs.
You should ask this in the technical talk thread.Anyway its depending on the game specs.for a low/medium spec game, one piece is far enough.For a higher spec game, you can use little planes for the chains.
Heh, dumpsters are a boring prop, but this is one of the best ones I've seen. Not liking the way you showed the textures though, I'd like to see the spec and normal maps. Maybe add a little more variation in the spec?
Definately TRY turning down the spec of the coat but you may not be able to do it enough after this new retarded update by valve... just about everything that used to have any spec at all is like a mirror now.
