Solved Metallic slider does nothing when skin is applied

Hi,

I've been making skin mods for cars, and no matter what it is, it seems like whenever I apply the skin the metallic slider in the "paint" customisation tab stops working, and the car stays matte even when roughness is at 0 and metallic is at 100. I've also set chrominess to 80 but that just makes the skin whiter.

Any idea what causes this? I like metallic paints... thank you!

 

I'm not very experienced in modding, so I copied the json straight from the original file and now it has a metallic factor.

However, I realise that all the paints settings do not work at all anymore. Perhaps I need to make it colourable? Will that involve the colour palette map?

Thanks a lot.

 

I see In that case, would the color palette map have to be fully red?

 

yeah, a fully red color map will make every paintable part of the car colourable via the first colour slider

 

Hi, sorry for the super late reply, but I've managed to make it work by adding the metallic and roughness factor in the materials.json file. Thank you for your help!
