Hello, it's me again. ^^
I tested multiple spec maps for this model. But it's glowing somehow
Maybe I am wrong, but spec maps define how reflective a model is.
By grey scale. So I just used the diffuse texture and turned the hue to 0.
Then I made it darker since the armor is pretty white even in greyscale. But it just changes nothing.
Just to compare it:
Is it just because it's white or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

This is issue - you have the right idea but some details are incorrect.
I believe for HoI4 and Stellaris the specular textures use the channel data like so:
Red - mask (ie leave this channel black unless you have an advanced use)
Green - specularity (ie paint white to increase the specular effect, black to reduce specular)
Blue - metalness (ie paint white where you have metals, black everywhere else, ideally no grey colour)
Alpha - glossiness (ie paint white where things should be shiny, black where things should be matte, greys allowed)
So because you have just used the diffuse texture, you get white in all channels and black in alpha?
For plastic storm trooper armour - you want total black in the red and blue channels, total grey in the green channel and then use the alpha channel to add some variety to the reflections (like a middle grey noise).
Good luck!
Hey Codemaster, I've just been getting into 3d modelling recently (for headgear/clothes creation in CK3) and I'm curious if most of the steps still apply for CK3 or if you know of any major differences? The animations don't concern me much,but I'm curious if I need to keep the armature or rig/skeleton from say a ck3 vanilla headgear mesh as I make my own around it ? And would that issue with the y/z coordinates affect any import/exports that I make with the io_pdx_exporter/importer too? Any insight would be appreciated

Speaking of CK3, my understanding is we can't do a total replacement of the 3D meshes for some completely different style, like say anime or monsters or something, can anyone confirm?

Currently I'm not sure what CKIII's requirements are. In theory, yes. You just need to re-rig the new model to the old bones. This would work in any other game/application, but I realize CKIII has some weird things going on behind the scenes.
Necroing this thread but I'm having an issue with exporting my model
What does this issue mean? How can I fix it?

It means you have some faces on your mesh which are more than 4 sided.
If you can't find those by looking, then you can use Blenders triangulate modifier to fix this.

This means you can only use "Latin" characters for naming things like meshes, materials etc.
Try for example, renaming to use only English language character set. (I should make that error message more helpful)
Excuse me about the skeleton, how to export it, what are the requirements for exporting, animation can only be exported through the skeleton
Its position is always incorrect when I export it, it is slanted to one side, and its position is staggered
