I’ve got heaps of really cool M4 textures, but I would like to convert them to M5 for use with M5 SSS/Translucency textures and to mix them in photoshop as I like to mix and match and make my own personal use creations.
Is there some sort of converter app to do this? Manually Warping and scaling to line everything up is a bit of a nightmare. And yes I am aware I can set different material zones to another UV set, but that doesn’t help me.

Those converters (Texture Converter in particular) work for Gen3 ->Gen 4, not for Gen4->Genesis

Immediately I thought of these, but realized generation 5 was not supported :(
I wonder if generation 5 will be supported in a future release? There are sooooo many great gen 4 textures and so little gen 5 at this time. I’d hate to think all my collected gen 4 textures couldn’t be converted. :(
Hmm, I thought the whole point of having M4 UV set was so that M4 textures could be used with Genesis the same as V4. I just tested and saw that isn’t the case. What is the purpose of M4 UV for Genesis in that case?
It’s great to change UV’s IF you want to only use M4 or V4 or what ever… The issue is you cant use a M4 uv dif texture for eg on the face and have a M5 face bump map, it don’t work, and that’s half of my issues.

Thanks for any help
If you compare the SSS maps for M5 to the Elite Spec Maps for M4, they are fairly similar. You could make your own versions by smudging, dodging and burning.
Gedd all M4 and V4 texture will work on Genesis…but you have to go in to the Parameters Pane and set the Uvmap.
Spyro’s issues is that he wants to use M5 SSS and Translucency maps with M4 texture maps.
That’s half of it… If it was possible to convert a M4 texture to M5 or vice versa… I would like to be able to mix them together in PS… for instance, I like some of the diff texture ‘details’, and M5’s hair, but want to take them and use it on the M4 textures I love, which I have put alot of work into already.

That’s true! I’m rather new to the SSS and the translucency thing. I quite like the idea that light behind the ears will reveal light through the ear like in the real world.
