I would post screenshots for proof, but apparently I cannot find the attach-picture-to-post button. I experimented a bit with specular maps, and I think that the red channel is used for metalness (the higher the value the more metal), and the green channel is used for roughness (the higher the value the smoother). They seem to be encoded into the color channels of the specular map (red and green are used for that, blue and alpha are unused?).

PBR introduces two new parameter, usually called metalness and roughness (mor information ). You just need to select DTX1 for diffuse textures and 3Dc for normal- and specularmaps when exporting.Īt last I tried to find out how PBR was influencing texture creation.

I decided to test whether Gimp works, and so armed with the newest version of Gimp and the dds-plugin (which hasn't been upated for ages) I dared to open a Fallout 4 normalmap.Īnd to my shock it was working out of the box (Gimp displays normalmaps as they are also displayed by WTV, and they also look like normalmaps are supposed to look).Īs next I tried to get textures and normalmaps created by Gimp into the game. Addicted to GIMP With BIMP you can apply a set of manipulations to an entire group of images It provides an easy to use interface and a lot of batch functions: Resize Crop Flip and rotate Blurring and sharpening Color (and curve) correction Watermark Rename Change compression and format. I didn't find any information regarding Gimp, the only information was about Photoshop, and apparently PS does not load a Fallout 4 normalmap correctly, which does not sound promising in regards to Gimp.

Today I was browsing the web for any information about how to create textures with Gimp.
