Oh, I see. I hadn’t noticed that when it happened.

Thank you for clarifying.

Now, this is an EPIC gamer moment.

I agree, it looks more organized

Well, I wish you the best of luck!

No need to wish luck, the issue has been addressed.

Ok, thank you. I thought it was WIP

using a normalmap in the completely wrong channel order won’t work,
i’m assuming it expects the same format surfaceappearance normals to be in so to convert roblox DDS normalmaps to the format roblox expects from user uploads:
copy red channel to a new image’s blue channel
copy alpha channel to a new image’s red channel
copy green channel to a new image’s green channel
example below

Let’s gooo

What program did you use to do this? Also, if you have the time, can you publish a community resource with all the Normal Maps please? ty

At this point this is spam. You can be helpful without spamming the same message.

Well, I guess so. Sorry about that. I have a tendency to slowly repeat myself because my life is busy and dramatic, meaning I tend to forget what I do quickly.

Also someone I know sent me this

Roblox are working on proper custom materials at the moment, which seems to be their resolve for sorting this topic out.

Could we please get a prediction by you guys ( the staff of roblox working on this ) of when it’d possibly be released?..

I can confidently confirm this screenshot is not fake, as I was able to access the MaterialService inside explorer myself:

Hopefully Roblox will give us a release date on this matter, because I have a lot of games that could really use these awesome new textures.

yo that would be wild if Roblox finally gave us the opportunity to import custom materials instead of using textures ^-^

WHAT’s your problem with just making the sofa darker? Why don’t you want to adjust to the new textures in the slightest way.

A lot of the textures completely clash with the originals, even if they are better, and then some are just worse.

How do you access the beta? It crashes for me.

Beta as in the MaterialService? (In that case, it’s not a beta, and you cannot enable it.)

or do you mean the new materials that Roblox made? If so I believe they attached a build that people can use to preview the new textures here. Haven’t read this in a long time.

He is talking about that when you opened up the seperate studio for the new textures it tends to crash for most people, meaning it is broken as of right now and we’re all waiting for roblox to either give us a date of when this update will release or fix it with new updates.

I agree the brick texture doesn’t have any depths so it looks like plastic brick walls.
