Add invert button/option for Smooth?

Open ZacWolf opened this issue 5 years ago • 9 comments

Thanks for updating Materialize!!!

Any chance you can add a button/function to invert the smoothness image that is loaded via Open or Paste? I'm working with Roughness maps, so I'm having to invert them in image editing software and then paste that in.

THANKS!

This has been added Im putting out a new build for this. In the mean time here is a drive link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yx-VTJfvo4TWsVUE6FEZP0-87kV4ptYp/view?usp=sharing

Ninja Edit: Created a new release for this. https://github.com/mitchelldmccollum/Materialize/releases/tag/3.2.3

Opps, I closed before testing. Now, none of the Paste options are working for me. I copy my image from Photoshop, and when I press the P button, nothing happens. When I go back to Photoshop and create a new image and past the paste happens just fine.

Fixed. It looks like during the Linux port the code was removed for Windows. Release has been updated.

OK, I can now paste an image, but since you added "Invert smoothness" to the CREATE form, I can't invert an image that I paste, as using the Create button overwrites any image pasted via the P button.

This would be useful if you create your smoothness map in materialize, and then invert to copy back into photoshop or to save-as roughness vs smoothness, but I actually use Materialize more to preview the work I actually create in Photoshop (except the normalize map which I use Materialize to create).

Would it be possible to just add an "I" button to the current ("P" "C" "O" "S") buttons, that would invert whatever image is in the Smoothness Map Buffer? THAN KS!

I will look into it.

I have added a button for this. There is still lots to iron out but heres a build that will work for you in the meantime. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yx-VTJfvo4TWsVUE6FEZP0-87kV4ptYp/view?usp=sharing

I know this might be a pain, but instead of the "invert" button, could it be possible to create a swap function between Smoothness and Roughness which also updates the preview of the material with the correct workflow?

Many games uses Roughness now, and Materialize has some hidden power in materials processing that lacks from many mainstream apps of the same kind
