Title: Strange shader warning
Post by: David on January 31, 2021, 01:12:25 PM
Hi, I haven't touched Terragen for a few weeks but upon opening, this greeting popped up 258 times! 'SetParamFromString: Unknown parameter: "convert metalness image to linear" in class: default shader'. Has anyone encountered this unexpected warning?

The number may reflect the quantity of objects in the scene. Other than these warnings, the scenes seem to render perfectly. I tried 2 older iterations of this scene with the same result, so it suggests to me that something has changed on my system. Baffled! Any ideas greatly appreciated.

This is ok to ignore and I believe if you resave the file it should be fine. This comes from changes with the new roughness settings i believe.

Thanks WAS, you were spot-on, re-saving it did the trick. :)
