Question about Normal Maps and Materials

ThreeDTech21 · Nov 27, 2015

1). I see for the official vehicles the materials have multiple numbers, for example there is a diffuseMap [0] and a diffuseMap [1]. What are the number distinctions for?

2). Also should a specularMap have color or only be black/gray/white?

1) Layers. From 0 to 4, where 0 is the base layer, and the others gets applied 'over it'.
For example in official vehicles, layer 2 (IIRC) contains colour informations. And when you choose how 'reflective' the colour is, you are basically changing layer 2 opacity (100% = Matte, 0% = Full chrome)

2) If specularmap have colour, then the specular will have colour.

thanks for the info Nadeox!

So if I have a color of red for the base 0 color and a color of white for the base 1 color, the final color will be a light red/Pink?

Pink if layer 1 has 50% opacity. If it's 100% opacity, the white layer will cover the red one totally.
