Normal Maps with dif

by Howard Dortch · in Torque 3D Professional · 02/08/2010 (8:22 pm) · 11 replies

I have a dif building (interior) I add in a normalmap on one of the walls and it glows at night like it's not affected by ambient light levels. I comment out the normalMap[0] = "blah"; and the texture takes on the night time ambient as it should. How can I have normalMap affected by lights like the diffuse on a dif?

Take a look and make sure the Emissive is unchecked.

EDIT: What version of Torque is this? I'm assuming T3D, but I may be wrong.

T3D yes and emissive unchecked meaning emissive = false; ? that is what I have set in the texture but it still lights up, thanks...

I noticed the same problem, and since then I use difs to prototype, and replacing them later with a .dts or collada. Also because I did not get the difs to work properly with lighting and the portals and so on.

I ran the game, got in world editor select "Export interiors to collada" selected all exported and nothing. No dae files appear and when I do that no directory paths are offered either.
I export to collada, next menu item down, and I get a red building that I can walk through. Not seeing the advantage here..

The "Export Interiors to Collada" option has a bug in 1.1 Alpha and Beta 1. Try the export using 1.0.1.
