Shiny Skins

[MysteryHelmet]

Very sorry if this is the wrong place.

Another person attempting to make skins for a Gmotor game and finds they are shiny. I have played with the alpha channel, painting it black and the like. It doesn't seem to be having any effect. I still end up with a shiny skin.

So, I'm wondering if it has to do something with how I'm saving. Does it matter if I flatten the file before I save it as a .dds?

Once again, sorry if this is the wrong place...

Are you exporting the DDS as DXT1? This makes the skin REALLY shiny. You need to export it as DXT5

Interesting, I'll check that and get back to you.

Yep. That was what I was missing!
