I love alpha hair, but most of it comes with a reflection/glow that clashes in the game (according to my personal taste). So I would like to know if there is any way to disable this? I tried the "make blank" function for the specular texture, but nothing changed in-game.

Hi. This is something that happens when the hair has no normal map. Replace it in each package with the normal map from here |

The specular is wrong. The green channel is pure white and since the green channel controls the strength of the shine (specifically the cube map shine) you're going to have a high gloss on the hair. If you want no shine at all paint the green channel 100% black. Or you can clone a hair you like, export its specular, and match the color of each channel in your specular to be similar to the EA hair. Add a black alpha channel, too. It's not showing up in Photoshop for me but my version of Photoshop won't show the alpha if the alpha is pure black. Because of this, I'm not sure if there already is one or not. *Red channel controls the blur/sharpness of the cube map. *Green channel controls the intensity of the cube map. *Blue channel controls the blur/sharpness of the sun and moon reflections. *Alpha channel controls the intensity of the sun and moon reflections. The specular color picker can sometimes make thing very easy. You need Blender 2.9 to use it.  The specular mask is wrong too but you can just export an EA one and use it, instead. Oh, and keep the original bump map. There was nothing wrong with it to begin with and a bump map can make a difference in how something looks. |

Fwecka (Lolabellesims) a person that simply wants to remove the shine from someone else's cc does not need to know all of this. When someone asks how to bake textures like maxis or how specular works, it makes sense to write a paragraph, when the question is "how to fix it for personal use", the easiest answer in enough. clai the creator of the hair made the blank specular the wrong way. In the link i shared in the second post there is a proper blank specular map, use it instead

But, how can I not share the specular color picker given how freaking cool it is? Others will see the post.

I use it the normal and the blank specular you indicated here is the package i changed: drive.google.com/file/d/1C5vZod2Dsn4lgg1G9hFJv-lENJY-xbZt/view?usp=sharing |
