[SOLVED]Rebellion Textures Displaying Differently

from Sins Forums

Ok, I've made models in Milkshape for awhile, export them as OBJ, convert them to XSI in Softimage and then use the already in-game textures on the mesh I made.

In Diplomacy, they look fine but in Rebellion--using the Rebellion textures, they are very bright.

Any ideas what's going on here anyone?

I did add the extra line to the mesh as per Rebellion and haven't touched the in-game textures in any way.

Here is the Rebellion one. 

Same mesh and each using the already in-game texture.

1st you need to use the same skybox for your tests, each one emits different light. Dev -> Render -> Skybox

Uploaded new mesh of this to the Skydrive. Your .xsi did not have a rootpoint or any meshpoints so I just added a few for testing.

Also add the line Reb needs for the mesh.

Ah--it had NO tangents--that was the problem. Fixed now.

Also check that your new mesh file has the same "Glossiness" value, to that of the originals, if you haven't already.

Hard to tell on the Kol.   I'll look it over a little more now as I just got back.

You going to make that available for any mod? It's pretty sweet looking.

Yes.  I'd appreciate a mention if you would but anyone can freely use it as they like for a Sins mod.

In the Kol's mesh file.

        Glossiness 35.000000       } this value could be 50 in the mesh file of your damaged KOL. If its 35 then this is OK and it was just the tangents.

 

It Is a very cool looking ship, Thanks for sharing.

EDIT; Oh oops! Just found the other thread with the link. I see this is not the case, forget I said anything.

It was showing as 50--but it was missing tangents.  That fixed it.

YW--have fun with it.
