Units Very Shine

[Rusted]

Hi everyone, I recently learn how to make normal map but now I have another problem: My unit is shining
How i can resolve it? M2TW.rar I upload my texture .dds and normal .dds

Try this in your game:

You'll probably want to change that alpha channel though anyway to make everything except the metalic bits a lot blacker - or you'll end up with very glossy bits where you don't want them!

See other thread - it's your alpha channel on the normal map that's making things glossy - you can view that in DXTbmp, see your photo1 the thumbnail in the top right. You probably can't edit it there, in GIMP I think it shows as 'transparency' so you need to have that visible and edit the transparency...

Ok, I will say what I do:
1-make the normal map of my texture .dds
2-I put into transparency and modify alpha threshold
But the modification is of everything and no of some parts how I can select which parts I want to modify?

The answer to how to use Gimp for anything = buy Photoshop...

or for this try: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...-layer-in-gimp

whilst doing it it looks like this:


the black bit does seem to modify the alpha channel when exported - though I'm not quite sure how you get things brighter than the alpha started... but Adding/using masks seems to be needed to adjust the alpha channel without messing up the RGB channels

I need more experience, but I will gonna try to make it

But I have another question, it's necessary to make the normal map with Biased RGB? because when I use it my texture disappear
