{SOLVED}CC looking weird in CAS

Hi. This advice still stands. The normal map is not made the way ts4 normal map should be made





Also, unrelated to the problem, but in the leg area you should split the mesh just like the original was. And the skirts should be vertex painted with a different color, so vertex paint is something you should also transfer

The skin looks darker because of the normal map. There is no transparency, so either you saved it as jpeg or did not add transparency mask

In the linked tutorial, the person is making a normal map in dds, which handles transparency differently

What you've done wrong was not select the mask when pasting the red channel, so it was pasted as a new layer instead of the mask

Also, in both the layer and the mask the background colors are wrong
The first gray square is the layer thumbnail and its background should be 848484. The second square is the layer mask thumbnail and its background should be 999999
These numbers refer to the exact hex code of the color



Follow this again exactly as written, no need to do anything beyond that
- open your diffuse, crop it with Image - Canvas size to 1024x1024;
- turn it into a normal map with Filter - 3D - Generate normal map;
- copy the green channel, switch to RGB;
- add a new fill layer with 848484;
- Shift Ctrl V to paste the copied channel;
- merge the pasted layer with the fill layer, hide it;
- copy the red channel, switch back to RGB;
- unhide the gray layer, add a mask ( you have already done that), select the mask, Edit - Fill - Color ( choose 999999)
- with the mask still selected, Shift Ctrl V to paste the copied channel;
- delete the purple mask, save as png
