hey earthquake, All the BF games I have worked on use world space normal maps on the characters. So it is dependent on the engine. For BF2\2142 stuff they are created as tangent space then converted to world when imported into the engine. There is probably other engines that are similar.
If you're exporting 16 bit maps to ue4 this will happen. Ue4 assumes the maps are using linear color space and applies a gamma curve to them. Add pow(1/2.2) after the colour maps (basecolor and emissive) to bring them back into the right range.
To the second question, logically, your alpha channel gets srgb'd too, but it shouldn't be a big deal, because simply applying power of 0.4545 on your alpha channel content puts it back to linear. And applying power of 2.2 makes linear color things srgb.
Furious Phil looks fun. (Ok Im a fan of the song in the trailer) http://www.gizmondo.com/games/item.asp?id=224&cat=1 Fallen Kingdoms shows the power of this thing. http://www.gizmondo.com/games/item.asp?id=223&cat=6&all=0
We'll talk in about a year (I honestly hope not) but after 3 aftersale returns for my home 24d and about 12 other 24hd at work going once there too I'm confidently saying anything 24hd and later is shitty at best...
Earlier on in the thread Behrooz gives a pretty good explanation and video. Different from the one m4dcow posted. Here's the thread and the video: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showpost.php?p=660353&postcount=142 [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLTRTTOgTAM[/ame]
Importing a 16bit .tif from xnormal seems bugged at the moment. It shows up much darker than it actually is (not an sRGB problem). Converting the normal map to 8bit tif or tga works. I swear 16bit worked fine in 201/202?
Ha I see you have a GTX 750. We've had a number of reports with this specific model and Painter 2.2 and are investigating what is causing the crashes. In the meantime, using 2.1 should let you use the tool without crashes though.
i have a question does it matter if the domain of your portfolio website doesn't have your name in it. something like this http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs36/f/2008/246/6/4/portfolio_by_jujikabane.swf do you all think that it will be a problem?
