[Solved] Specular Map....

[Quiznos323]

Hey so many of you on the forum here have said that to add a specular map you have to add it as an "alpha layer" to the image and then export it. I appreciate all of the help that I've gotten so far, but honestly this has been the most frustrating part of the whole process to try and figure out, and I am stuck xD. I have seen that others have added their spec layers as a mask? I tried this but with no visible changes in Unity. If someone could explicitly list how to go about adding the spec map that would be awesome. I feel as though it should be something really simple and I am just missing a detail somewhere..

Here's my setup in gimp so far:

Thanks!

Copy the group, collapse the group into a single layer, hide everything else and apply the mask. Group masks are currently not supported by GIMP, but they're on a list of planned enhancements.

Hmm alright I just tried it and still no luck, so I must be doing a step wrong. Is it applied to the copied spec layer or the color layer? And does it have to be checked as visible to affect the texture? I set the mask as black is transparent which I think is what I am supposed to do, but when I import to unity the mesh is still shiny all over..

Try Exporting both images (Your color and your spec maps), then use them to apply the layer mask. once they are open, apply a layer mask (black) to your color map, and copy the spec map to the open layer mask slot. If you did it right then your color map will be mostly transparent (it'll look really faded). Then export the image and use that.

Hopefully that helps.

Thanks Ven! It did help a lot, I got it to work and my part looks better now that the shine is in the spots that I want it .
