Hi, my project require incode materials creation. I tried to use CreateBaseTextures function to convert supplied color,alpha,bump&normal images into base_0 and base_1 materials textures, but the result material file always contains unneeded extra specular and glow maps (when I view it inside the EE material-editor) also I needed to flip the Y-normal to see things right.

I tried everything I know, If anyone can really guide me through the proper way in base_0, base_1 creation. and how to access the created images under the material from each base?.

check attached the material file created by my code ( you need to flip Y-normal at the EE material editor to see it properly, I can enable it using the same function but I kept it this way to show the exact result I'm getting) .

Thanks

After a thorough forum search I found what I wanted after reading this link from one of the topics

I really wish if these references and similar ones are available in the new documentation.

Thanks

Hi,

Please use 'CreateBaseTextures' instead of custom codes.

That's correct. They're all packed together so they don't use any extra space.

CreateBaseTextures has Bool flip_normal_y=false param

Thank you Esenthel.
CreateBaseTextures is great easy function which I already use, but I was looking for more deeper understanding of the core method of materials base textures creation. I'm Ok with it now, I could successfully create base textures from code and also be able to extract the source images, its all about where to look inside the base color vector data.
