Tutorial: Basic Guide to RLES-Specular Map editing

Orangemittens Hello!
Thank you for the contributions you give us your tutorials, you and your fellow S4S.
I've been studying this tutorial to remove some hair shining I downloaded but make modifications
Specular Overlay and Specular Mask and I don't see any difference.

Programs I'm using
-Sims 4 Studio, Joy 2.5.1.7
(I'll try: Sims 4 Studio, Joy 2.5.1.9)
-Photoshop CS5 Extended

Something else I noticed is that my images exported lack Alpha channel and don't know why this happens.
Could you help me with that too? Please and thank you!

Greetings from Costa Rica!


Hola orangemittens!
Gracias por los aportes que nos das con tus tutoriales, tanto tú como tus compañeros de S4S.
He estado estudiando éste tutorial para quitarle el brillo a algunos cabellos que he descargado
pero al hacer las modificaciones del Specular Overlay y Specular Mask no veo ninguna diferencia.

Programas que estoy usando
-Sims 4 Studio, Joy 2.5.1.7
(Voy a probar con: Sims 4 Studio, Joy 2.5.1.9)
-Photoshop CS5 Extendido

Algo más que noté es que mis imágenes exportadas carecen de canal Alfa y no se porque sucede ésto.
Podrías ayudarme con eso también? Por favor y gracias!

Hello there! I also had trouble understanding this tutorial !. google translator help. but I think the problem is that not enough images of the stepper. for example, I have a question. to export as PNG. interlace option leaves - none, inlaced. I dont know which one to choose!
edited in photoshop. using difusse. where I hit? in any particular channel or at all?
sorry for my English! I use a translator!

I was curious about the type of shine I can achieve? I converted Nuka Cola bottles from the game Fallout4. The way they're made, I can't really use a shader to just make the bottles glass, cause then it looks all wonky. So to prevent them from looking flat, I wanted to explore this. But I know on a glass bottle, a shine wouldn't be very soft like on clothing.

Is there something I can do about that, or would it be in my better interest to leave them without shine?

sammoyke you need to create 3D mesh (CAS ->Create 3D mesh), not recolor. All the information about bump, rles and emission map is tied to geom, so your package need to have one, otherwise your package uses specular map from original game file.

oh yea im not good any of that 3d meshing. i have the mask just set as a face paint there is really nothing to look at it cause ive done nothing spectacular , i had no hope of doing what jappy did for kakashi's adult face mask cause i just don't understand that meshing required , i was able to work with what i could make though. i appreciate the information i needed.

I have S4S harmony, and with some content, when I click "specular," the program automatically crashes before I can export, import, or make it blank. is this a common problem?
