Hi, so i have some buildings from wow, ive added team colors to the roofs. Problem is it looks like there is colored seran wrap over the roofs instead of the roofs themselves looking like they were painted that color. Looking at SC2 buildings they look like they were painted the team color, how do i get this effect. I just applied alpha as team color in 3ds max for the roofs so not sure why this is happening. As you can see in the pic on the yellow one can barely see the roofing on parts of it.
That looks like you are using the Team Color Emissive Add blend type for the textures. Either change that or try to convert black to transparency for the emissive texture.
Thanks very much for the reply, could you elaborate more on that i know very little about this stuff. What should i change the emissive blend to it is on add as you said. What to you mean convert black to transparency. I made the roofs light colored as if they were black the color was visible underneath the team color. How do i convert black to transparency.
Edit: I tried changing the emmisive blend but it didn't help.
I actually don't know much about modelling, it just looked to me like various Protoss or Zerg models, which glow in team colors when the emissive texture is not fully or mostly transparent. If changing the emissive blend type didn't change anything, its probably a different issue.
Thanks for these they are very nice. How did you get this effect, how did you get them to look like this? I use gimp but any direction would be nice. I already have units made and have team colored them similar to my buildings, i may go back and redo their team colors to match these if i decide to use them so knowing how to do this would really be nice.
thanks again.
Edit: I thinki figured it out, doing something like colorify white, retinex, invert colors, color to alpha, and then invert colors again will get you an effect similar to this.
As for doing team colors the regular way i guess you just colorify white, and then convert color to alpha with an appropriate value, i used a shade of gray.

Use these textures for Human structures.
