Problem with Strat cas files....

**PROMETHEUS** · 02-15-2006, 19:04

I have a problem ow a weird whitening on some points of the unit , it happens only when in strat map and I have no idea of what can cause it , anyone knows what can be?

as you cas see there is a sort of gloss or highlight , but it is asymmetrical and not due to any elemnt , poligon problem in original model ......

I have noticed the same thing, and have no idea how to fix it.

Try making an actual gloss file for that model but just don't put any gloss on it, or put it an a safe small location where it would not matter.

I have had problems with battle map problems where models that didn't have gloss files are getting the gloss file of another model's. I fixed it by the method above.

I had that with my castles. I don't know for sure but I believe I added extra faces on the bits that had too much shine. The shoulder armour for example could be divided into more faces. And I tried seperating the model into more elements (so less merged vertices). I believe it could be partly fixed but it surely is irritating.

So u suggest I subdivide more the model's faces exposed?

Only at the problem areas. Note that I don't remember it very clearly. I had the shining bits at the corners of my castle. I believe I made the faces that lie right next to the edge very small by dividing the surfaces. I also tried disconnecting surfaces that connected on that edge. I don't remember what worked exactly.
