maxwell_graf: tyvm!!

maxwell_graf: oh and how do you upload a complete material ?

is there a tutorial from scratch ?

Edit PBR Material is greyed out

When you export the material in the GLTF format from your program of choice, it saves all the different texture files you will need for the final look of the material in SL, so when you choose that material all the albedo, normal, metalness and roughness maps come with. That is the primary benefit of GLTF. Personally, I am an ENFP.

Not sure if the SL viewer has that implemented yet for import all at once, but I believe that is the purpose of this specific one, thus naming it the GLTF viewer. Just not sure if they work that way yet, have not tried this latest one.

ok in the Upload menu, "Material" is greyed out

I have to say shadows and stuff already look so much more intense in this viewer

yeah, how light "works" in general is greatly improved.

yeah, you may have to import the material the old way still, separate maps, or you may be able to upload the material all at once the old way, separate from the model.

Eventually the idea is to export your geometry and material at the same time using gltf. This would then be imported the same way to SL, all at once, and be applied to the model already.

I don't get texture slots in the Build menu either and applying them directly on the faces doesn't seem to work

Additionally, the idea of having everything packaged as a "material" makes it possible to use the material on other things, so you could package and sell them for others to use all ready to go. Drag and drop.

how do you do it on your end ?!

That is different than the last time I used it.

which was a couple versions ago looks like. Sorry.

ahhh ok!

What is the little icon on the right that has the down arrow next to it.

?

it's copy/paste

ah, that may be the way.

not sure.

if you go to upload a material now maybe it does it all at once.

but you have to have a gltf material to use on your computer, ready to go.

I feel like that might be to copy-paste a whole material but I can't upload or apply a material

I exported a gltf from Painter quickly from an old scene

but I can't even try to upload it, "Material" is greyed out in

Bulk upload cannot upload it either

I honestly would hit up the SL discord, someone can answer you there in 2 seconds.

they have the content -features chat in the creators room.

maxwell_graf: oh great! Would you have the address of the Discord server, please ? Sorry, so out of the loop, didn’t know they had one now. 😆

Sorry I can't help further.

sure, one sec

gah, not finding it.

sorry

oh well thanks anyway for the help! 👍

LiliB I think you have to be at one of the Rumpus Room lands. Did you try there?

carolineapollo: thanks! I'm there now.

still kinda can't upload gltf but at least I can see other people's stuff!

it's pretty good but I see it's still doing that thing on certain materials

where the protruding bits in things like stucco are lit too strongly

FroukjeHoorenbeek: where do you go ? I went to Rumpus Rooms and it ungreyed one menu but I still got an upload error and the other PBR menus were still greyed out/locked. Is there another special region I should go to ?

These I think Materials1, Materials Adult, Rumpus Room 1 (through 4)

Thanks, I will try those !

Good luck!
