Is there any way to link different specular map for different diffuse map? Like the question asked, I want to put design on my cc and have some shininess only on the design. The problem is I want to use differnt design on each swatches, and when the specular map is replaced/deleted for a single swatch, it'll also be deleted for the rest of the swatches. I found the tutorial video from a while ago on emission map that you still have to link emissin map to the geometry manually, does that work for specular map on different diffuse too? |

Hi. In theory you should be able to add a new resource and link it to a specific CAS part, but there is an easier way.
- create a package that contains all the swatches without the shine;
- save the package;
- File - Save as under a different name;
- import the shiny specular, delete unwanted swatches, import diffuse maps, save;
- now you have two package with identical identifiers ( appear as one item in-game) but different speculars. So now you can just merge those packages into one and everything should work as you want

You can do it for CAS items for sure. I often create 2 specular maps. My steps are:
1. On the Warehouse tab duplicate the existing specular file and give it a new instance.
2. I generate instances in the hash generator (Tools -> Hash generator)
3. Import a new specular map in that newly created resource so you will know that it's a different specular.
4. Paste that instance number in every CAS part that corresponds with swatches that you created a separate specular map. Just search by the word "specular" on the Warehouse tab in CAS Part and paste a new instance number.
