Title: Preset Hangup....
Post by: ArcticGalaxy on April 11, 2016, 07:17:12 am
Well, I'm trying to make a preset with the default feline textures, and just no matter what I do, it won't work in preset maker. It just comes up as a marshmallow. I made sure I exported it into the correct preset folder, made sure it was a .jpg, and I made sure that it was the right name in the coding, but to no avail. I will post a screenshot, and a copy of my coding here for anyone to look over.

And here is the coding.

material preset_4_bodyMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_4body.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_bodyMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_4body.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_headMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_4head.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_headMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_4head.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_eyeMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_4eye.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_eyeMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_4eye.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_tailMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_4tail.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_maneMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_4mane.png
         }
      }
   }
}

May I ask if it's the tail, the head, the body, or all three that are showing up white?

Yes, the whole body is a Marshmallow.

And when you went to save it, did you save it as 'preset_4body.jpg'?
Maybe you can try saving the file as a .png file and seeing if that works. When you write it in the material, make sure you're saving it as .png ~

I actually wondered if that would work. I'll give it a shot.

Well, it didn't work but...it's the bumblebee thing instead of a marshmallow.

Then there's something wrong with the coding that's not correct if you're getting the bumblee effect.
Care to tell me what exactly are you doing when you go to save the file? ( Once you did the desire corrections and such ).

I just went and exported it as a .png straight from Gimp and into the preset folder. Could it be the way I'm coloring? I usually duplicate a layer, and set it to multiply so the fur texture shows through, and then merge and export them.

Oh so you're using GIMP.
When I go to make my presets, I use the mask ( Basically the texture that has the entire body colored, what have you ) and then I have another layer, ( Something to color on ) and then I have the top layer ( Fur texture ) and I set it to multiply. Then once I'm done, I go to save , Export as, select the preset folder, in your case four and export as ( Let's say ) 'preset_4head.png' and then 'enter' , 'Enter / Export' and then try it out.

So do I use the fbodymask1 then?
Title: Re: Preset Hangup....
Post by: Hakumi on April 11, 2016, 08:48:26 am
You can use that if you want to copy & paste it over the fur texture so the nose, mouth, eyebrow, etc. would be in place. Instead, try using the second one, the one that's actually coloured in. Like...fbody.jpg as like a guide and not just the fur textures alone. ( If that makes any sense ).

Alrighty. xD I still have until May 5th to do this anyway, so I'll be tweaking with it. I'm bound to do something right. xD

Okej, I wish you luck xD
And to clarify what I was talking about. ....

(http://i63BannedImageSite/35ckhm9.jpg)

Basically that , Use that as the bottom layer. Your middle layer to color ( you can turn down the opacity so you can see it more until you're done. The top layer, your fur texture c:

Ah ok! I'll probably start work on it later, seeing as it's already 4AM as I type this and I'm lazy. So I will update all of you when I work on it again. xD

I wish you the best of luck ^^
If you have any other concerns about it and if it isn't figured out still, you're welcomed to send me a PM so we can try another form of communication so we can get it working for ya. c;

Good Luck Again ~?
