I haven't used either vTools or qSave, just hade super easy actions setup for diffuse, specular, normal to tga. You know, pretty much the first step of all these tools. I've thought about just this, saving out different layers into specific channels, and with different sizes of the files. And now especially on top of that…
So I've been looking into CryTiff and basically all the CryTiff is is a standard Tiff with some information placed into the File Information Section in photoshop here Diffuse Then when this file is picked up by the engine passed into the RC, it is converted into .dds based on what it reads in the file information section.…
Hah, that's awesome, should come in pretty handy! Also, is there anyway so output textures at DDS? AND have separate settings for each (DXT1 for diffuse, DXT5 for normals+spec)? I may have gotten it all wrong but I assume I can at least add the command line DDS converter as a droplet in the post-processing section of each…
@FAT_CAP The configurations you make, including those for the alpha channels, are either stored externally in a central configuration file or directly with the PSD itself. This way you can configure the PSD that contains the diffuse map + alpha separately from the ones without the alpha channel. If both of the textures you…
One question though - it's mentioned in the Youtube video that you can configure the tool to save a layer set into the alpha channel of a texture which is a great feature. However, most of my textures don't have alpha channels, but the hair diffuse, would always contain the transparency in the alpha. Can the tool be…
