1. Spec seams in UE3?

   

   Topic by Sean McBride · Jun 2006 · Home› Technical Talk

   Ok, this has been bugging the hell out of me... Apparently if you have a UV seam ANYWHERE on your model you can not get the specular hot spot to not show up as a seam around it. Even in supplied sample content of the engine you can find a specular seam. Yes, the normals on the faces are smoothed. No, there is no smoothing…

   I don't mean to Hijack or anything, but I too have a question regarding specular maps. Does the UE3 engine support colored specularity?

   I'd be intensely surprised if it didn't, since Doom3 does, and that's been around for quite a while now.

   If your studio is licensing the engine, don't you have suppoort from Epic on stuff like this? Fire off an email to whoever your contact is and see if they have a solution. It's better than continuing to experiment with possible solutions if there aren't any.

   no solution as of yet, i know you guys better than i know the UDN so i thought i'd ask those others using the engine here.

   true, i'm sure your not going to know its there in the game unless you find some way up close camera angle. I just know its there and when i'm looking for it i can see it. Just wondering if there was a true work around.
