This is going to change from one model to another, but it is very simple to fix. I have to mix a lot of the shaders just to get the color right. On the shader inspector, top left, try mixing the color with a dark grey to counter the yellow from the sun. My e-mail is if is easier for you to communicate. from your experience the best result you get is using the specular map and a normal map (that you make at your own) and not just diffuse and bump map? you told me to drop the image from 6000圆000 to 2000x2000 pixel but why not just drop a part from the texture like the attached picture i made?ģ. for a good result for metal you use a basic shader with a dirt bumpmap because the metal shader i got are or just boring or does not repeat?Ģ. if you get the result i got at the second picture with the metal shader(you are right it is not from arroway), and the texture does not be repeat you can only use it at a small surface like an texture?Ģ. i am a starter at artlantis so i have a few more questions to you, since you are the only one who is kind and helpful. so fast answer i thought your are the admin. Thank you very much for your quick answer, help and of course advices. This is just going by my personal preference, a lot of people might think that using large image sizes is pure overkill unless you are very close to the object in question, so some experimentation is necessary when creating shaders. I use PixPlant 2 all the time now days, it's a very handy plugin! Both will generate normal maps, bump maps, and specular maps out of almost any texture you can load into them. I would suggest you look into a photoshop plugin called PixPlant 2 or the stand alone program called CrazyBump. There are a few programs and plugins that will do this for you and they work very well.

The Arroway textures do not come with normal maps as far as I know so I have been having to make my own. If you have Photoshop, just simply resize the texture file and save a duplicate in a lower resolution. 20 or somewhere in the low range, I believe the image you first posted has the reflection and/or shininess set far too high. I would say go ahead and map the specular map to the shader sure, just set it very low. Something a bit more manageable, save it to whatever image type you prefer, I usually stick with. If it's a 6000圆000 image, drop it to 2000x2000 or so (you might want it smaller even still). When using Arroway textures I always drop them down by at least half the size, or more.

Pixplant still being worked on
