how fix?

bro alot of characters are errors even tom (boris is fine)

It can be helpful if you're using an animated normal map, other than that it's pretty useless though

OH MY GOD YOU WERE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RIGHT

why would i put the alpha over the diffuse though

Yep, you can also put the alpha over the diffuse texture instead if you prefer that, but you'll need another vmt command if you wanna do that

so

put the alpha channel of the specular textures in alpha of normal

phongexponent 50

phongboost 1?

I've found that the best settings to use are phongboost set to 1, exponent set to 50, and the mask set added to the normal map alpha. It ends up looking really similar to the ingame shaders, and is what i'm using for my own ports.

You can also find a blender shader on the valve developer wiki that really helps with getting the settings, since it has replicas of all the main vmt settings.

i havent been able to find a good vmt for specular maps anyway

but if you have one, do send

I just thought it'd be useful considering you're making the ports

besides, you asy "waste of time" even though ive been pumping these out with ease

why is bro tryna educate me Lol

That's not gloss, that's a mask that lowers the specular level, the in-game shaders have a seperate slider for gloss.
Plus sfm already has native support for the specular mask, you just need to add it to the alpha channel of the normal map.

the alpha channel of the specular containing gloss, which is inverted roughness:

The only textures that are used in the game are a diffuse, normal map, and specular mask, none of those are PBR textures.
Adding the effect honestly just sounds like a waste of time for the ports.

lmao

Stop crying because he beat Minifigjoe

it does lmao

Why are you even using the fake pbr method for these ports? The game doesn't even use pbr textures

true...

bork

goofy ahh boris and tom

goofy

idfk

how many characters remain ?
