Re: Baking a gradient map?
Put a gradient into the diffuse slot of your baker. put its mapping as a map channel your not using. Create a planar uv map in that map channel. Id go with the AO myself though. perhaps you could use the gradient to weight the AO's effect when you are texturing. -
Re: Baking a gradient map?
Just create a new uv channel, planar map the mesh, and create a gradient that suits your purposes, this is really fast and works really well, I do this often on weapon models to highlight "interest areas" ie towards the barrel and toward the buttstock will be a bit darker, but the area you'll see up close is brighter and… -
Re: Baking a gradient map?
Relying on VCs for all blending is very expensive for the engine. We use Vertex Alphas (VA) to blend additional dirt details into a model only when the asset is either a key 'landmark' or needs to be highly repeatable without holding up production for the same asset modified 50-odd times. We actually reversed the blend…
