Hi

Not sure if anyone can help here. I have a couple of models that I'm using bump effects on, but they shine black and not the light. I think it is something to do with my _N files, but I'm not sure how best to fix it.

My models are using _d, _N and _i files which I used Shadermap pro to create. The file format that I'm using is PNG, which works well with all my other models. I have used it on models which I've created and they have worked well, but this pack from here http://www.dexsoft-games.com/models/scifi_buildings.html

Screenshot.



Many Thanks

Bootlicker, could you possibly make us a tutorial on how to get segments and entities working with bond1 shaders? I know you have to make these textures but how? and what program do we use? thank you!

The texture_D and the texture_D2 are the same image. For the texture_N and the texture_I, I use a plugin straight from NVidia's website that takes your image and converts it to the RGB Normal and Specular alpha channels available here:

http://developer.nvidia.com/object/photoshop_dds_plugins.html

I am sure there are plugins for gimp, paint.net, etc out there too.

There is also a great tutorial for using the plugin here:
