None of the baking options will give you the specular values from the material (which is what you need).

The best way I know of to bake specular maps in Blender is.really stupid. Due to a bug in Blender, if the material is transparent, you might get a completely transparent image when trying to bake the diffuse map, in which case you'll have to disable your transparency before baking, then bake the diffuse map, then bake the alpha and combine them. aking.htmlįor the diffuse map, you just need to select 'Textures' (Blender Render) or 'UV' (Cycles Render) for the Bake Type, then bake, save the image in an appropriate DDS format with mipmaps, and you're done. You mean you painted/generated the texture in Blender and want to bake it into 2D images for use in Grimrock materials, right? Check out. To see it in game, you must define the material, and either assign it using the GMT, or you can assign empty materials in Blender that have the precise name of the material definitions you have in the game. It is possible to use the Nvidia DDS plugin to convert a detailed color map into a reasonably decent normal map and this can be used alone, or combined with the normal map baked in Blender, for better results.

Black for none, white is for full gloss and levels of gray for in between values.įor the diffuse color map, it should ideally just be the color with no shading, but because you will want to simplify the model as much as is seems passable, some shading can help with the fine details. Specular map is for how reflective the surface is. You can also do the work in Blender itself, using the texture paint tools.įor the Normal map, you use Blender's Bake feature to create the image. Gimp and Photoshop can do it with the Nvidia plugins. Paint.Net saves native DDS image, and it's free.
