map channel 3 (uv-3)?

Can somebody explain what the map channel 3 a.k.a. uv-3 is used for in the 3D model?

Thanks in advance:Miner

Specular Map (shiny stuff), I believe.

right. so I looked at the model, made an occlusion map of it, and it shows all wrong, there is a small canoe visible on the side of the hull in the occlusion map, then I loaded the texture and it's all wrong :

I see you've changed the afterdeck from the stock one, added a small canoe aft of the bridge (the one I talked about here above).

did you make a new uv map : the deck of the canoe shouldn't be placed where the side of the hull is because then it'll get the same metal texture, etc... ?

I need a clean uv map to start with to make the occlusion map.

also there seem to be a lot of flipped textures :

before :

after I flipped the deck element :

So I think there's a lot of work to be done prior to making the occlusion map... first a clean uv map for the model and texture, then we'll go from there

Yea, there probably is more problems, it is my first time ever 3D modeling, are the small railings related to texture flipping? I had to put the life boat there because the mogami .dat would act up and do a CTD when I added more nodes for the propellers, so I attached the boat to the hull, and used it's node for the propeller.

most probably. there are always textures flips when importing/exporting from S3D into 3DS and vice-versa, here using the active shade window I can see how it looks ingame and fix those surface by flipping them before I export the object file. Like the wooden deck, and most surfaces of your life boat !

textures are one side only, so they are see-through if seen from the wrong side !

such a big ship and a lifeboat engine ! :rotfl:
