You can see that one surface, with weird lighting issue (in this case, the brighter one) has decal with incorect direction.
Now this is the another cylinder mesh I mentioned above. No lighting issue and decals are also fine.
I am assuming that the Default roblox cylinder has one flipped surface, and I think thats the reason of these issues.
Might try changing uv set. Must work.
The issue is being caused by the fact that your normal map is inverted - Roblox uses a different format than the ones you have put in. All of the maps Iâve extracted from present and past Roblox materials work fine.
Hello, if you meant by my normal map is inverted, then is there anything wrong with my textures I uploaded? If then, how should I fix it?
The texture itself works perfectly fine with any other unions, meshes and parts but Cylinders (and maybe spheres). Only cylinders seem to have this issue which kinda disturbs me.
I think someone posted above as to why/how this happens. I would probably suggest trying, if possible, to invert the mapâs contents, though I donât know how feasible that is on a pre-existing texture.
Thanks so much man! I never knew it since I am very new to modeling
Whereâd you find that? Thatâs the one I want
When is this going to be fixed? because it sometimes annoyingâŚ
This is part of the roadmap, you can check Built-in Material Upgrade and Material Library Expansion above.
Ah I see, team create isnât supported at this point. We are aiming for early next year.
Are you talking about adding new built-in/base material types? Material Service allows developers to create material variants of built-in materials. So you can create variants for built-in material type brick, grass, etc. You wonât be able to create new material âtypeâ though. As explained in the post, Roblox materials arenât just visual, they also carry simulation properties and more to allow for automatic, emergent behavior. This will also lets us automatically provide more sophisticated behavior to you.
That said, we are going to expand the material types as part of Material Library Expansion.
@fnublox Seeing as youâre one of the engineers working on this who is currently active on this thread, Iâd like to ask whether such functionality to increase/decrease the arbitary metalness and roughness values (which can, at the moment, only be second-guessed by the MetalnessMaps and RoughnessMaps) is possible and could be added to MaterialVariants before their full release.
This functionality was present in December 2019 when SurfaceAppearances were in early testing and seemed to help a great deal with fine-tuning the rendering. Something similar now would be greatly welcomed as it would make the feature more widely usable and applicable, for both power users and those less experienced.
Example below:
Adding onto this, an AO map is becoming more and more necessary. I have a custom ocean that uses PBR textures, but the textures sadly look very bad, because you need to adjust the atmospheric settings to be just right to have them look good - but, changing the atmosphere properties would make other things look bad, which is not wanted behavior.
AO maps would be the only way about this, as they are extremely useful!
This is hands down one of the best updates so far
I highly agree imagine what people can make with this update
This is really great and I absolutely love this, and itâll be greatly appreciated if there is going be a feature which allows people to have the ânon-coloredâ part of the texture.
or is it just me forgetting something?
U could use a photo editor to multiply AO to color map.
Do u mean there must be a way like roblox should multiply the color to color map. Like it works for default material.
Yeah, I think there should be an option which allows people to have multiple colormap or something like that, which doesnt get affected by partâs color
U mean that u want to achieve that white outline. Cant it work by putting white outline on color map
