ST0RM Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 So I'm trying to use several older skins, that were never updated by their creators. I've got them to show up, but the specular files are not included so I'm using the defaults and renaming hem according to the description luas. However, I'm still seeing them as pixelated, overly glossy and showing missing. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunwukong Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) So I'm trying to use several older skins, that were never updated by their creators. I've got them to show up, but the specular files are not included so I'm using the defaults and renaming hem according to the description luas. However, I'm still seeing them as pixelated, overly glossy and showing missing. Any ideas? Sim now using PBR......specular is old....glossy has turned to roughness so spec files show gloss when they shouldn't. Personally I wouldn't bother with them anymore. Use the Rough Metallic method. Can you post a screenshot of the skin in sim or model viewer (so we see what you see - I'm sure I know what you mean but want to be sure), copy of your description.lua and screenshot of your files. With regards to the rough metallic you'll find huey files in the download in the link in caseyou are not aware of this method (sorry if you are). https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303667/ Edited March 14, 2020 by sunwukong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunwukong Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hmmm....main & tail non-civvy files now not there in 1.4....they were in 1.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST0RM Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Thank you for the help. I'll give that a go and see if I can make it work. You've described it perfectly. The shiny/glossy look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunwukong Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I've been messing and I think that mod about rough metallics is misleading regarding the Huey. Try this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=221194 There's also more threads about this too.....just look under yours. Someone somewhere has done some spec files but can't find where I saw it so I'll just attach the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunwukong Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Right, apparently the 2 files missing from the Un-Official RoughMet Patch shouldn't be missing. I've attached the missing files. Just put them in the Un-Official RoughMet folder for the Huey and install the mod. You then can use RoughMet in your liveries.uh-1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST0RM Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Thank you for all the assistance. I've brought back some long neglected skins. Now to convert the bmps to dds. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
