Title: XFrog's RGB-files
Post by: Volker Harun on July 05, 2007, 11:11:41 AM
Hi,

I downloaded recently the 30 day evaluation of XFrog and XTune.
Both come with some marvelous samples wich can be exported easily.
Some of those models have .rgb-files instead of .tiffs which is annoying. I am not able to open these rgbs to reduce saturation.

Any idea?

Volker

By the way - I want to thank Greenworks for having a 30 day full working trial with lots of models to be modified, exported created and so on ... For somebody with some spare time, that would be many plants, wouldn't it? ,-)

Volker,
If you use the .rgb image as the colour image (under colour for a leaf say), and use the .png image in the opacity tab, set opacity to 1 and tick the alpha channel on. you'll get some nice results.

Oh, and set the diffuse colour to 0 in the colour tab.

The free (and excellent) XnView (http://www.xnview.com/) ought to be able to open, adjust, and save/convert those files.

Hi Kevin, thanks for your support.
That model did not have any additional graphics for opacity or alpha, just that RGB-file.
I was able to reduce that oversaturation by adding a colour-change-shader and increasing the gamma. Then I needed to darken it again ,-)

Hi Oshyan,
that was in fact the information I was seeking - Hugggzzzzzz!
