The RwGeo has a RwBool if it has normals, its 1 for every specular geo

pegperegogaucho

But there is also another material flag

pegperegogaucho

I think its a value >65535 for asterix and obelix

pegperegogaucho

That's what I found out :pausechamp:

pegperegogaucho

But even when I imported a new mesh with normals and everything with the proper flags etc. It still only would have specular effects on the original material :HmmChamp:

pegperegogaucho

Maybe I am missing something

pegperegogaucho

Or something does not get deserializied

pegperegogaucho

But I think you are more knowledgeable about the graphical aspects than me

pegperegogaucho

I hope you are able to fix it!

The problem is that, even by exporting the DFF and reimporting it (without using Blender), the specular effect disappears.

adrientd

It could be a problem with the splitting/merging functions

adrientd

They do care at keeping normals whenever possible (for example, merging a geo with normals with one without normals would just give zero vector normals for the merged geo)

adrientd

I did find a potential bug that could disable the normals flag if the first geometry to merge didn't have normals, but for Obelix, the first material is the specular one, so that shouldn't be the cause

adrientd

I did a comparison between original Geometry and Splitted Imported Geometry, and the flags and normals are still there, the only exception is that the BinMeshPLG extension (used to store optimized indices for the models) is gone

adrientd

So I wonder if putting the BinMeshPLG back might fix it

adrientd

In case you're interested, left is original geo for Obelix's specular part, right is when reimported and splitted with the Editor

I saw there were indices after the materiallist, not sure what they are for. But it would be weird if those would fix it :HmmChamp:

pegperegogaucho

But yeah reimporting can sometimes remove the normals (like the boss node)

pegperegogaucho

Hmm why do the geoflags change :pausechamp:

adrientd

Nice
