This thread is intended for Mecabricks users with admin rights on the part library. It provides additional information when the process changes.
Base Materials
Until today base material was automatically detected based on the diffuse map. However it was often inaccurate and could only store one reference. It is now required to manually enter the base material references. For 95% of the parts there will be only one value, but for elements like the dual moulded legs or the Batman armour 34706d1 you may need to add additional references. values shall be separated by a comma and the first one represents the master value.
Roughness
This value is currently only used for rendering. It shall be a valid JSON array. You shall not define it yourself but only copy and adapt it from a similar existing part.
Whenever roughness values are not standard, they shall be specified for each base materials. Two parameters are available: strength and size.
{"pearlescent":{"strength":0.2},"rubber":{"strength":0.3,"size":15}}
@Scrubs
Nope, i mean old decorations before i created my own template for minifigs
and before metal and bump maps appeared)
Yes these old old ones will require even more work 😃
Just to draw from scratch 😂
@Stas, Yes! I have begun with the parts that has been converted by Scrubs, but I still have some to do... 😉 My first decorations will need to be redrawn since i've modified my workflow a lot since then!
I'm now preparing all non-converted part decorations with the new transparent background and data file so I easily can just update them when Scrubs converts the part.
I realise this thread is intended for admins, but if you want I would be happy to help "redraw" old decorations so they work with the new system.
Expanding on @XForce198 's comments. I would also be more than happy to work on updating old textures if needed
I am currently redrawing some old decorations.
@CustomLEGOBrick Probably best to check with the original decoration admins before starting work on each part. They may have acess to the original file themeselves.
Yes, at least for mine I have all the vector files so probably not the best use of time to redraw them from scratch 😉
In that case I think will just recreate the ones not made by you Scrubs. 😉 I've got the recreated parts submitted for approval.
