Yes, because if you don't you will have incorrect lighting on the texture. Like the wrong shadow placement.

[@NunoSilva3d]

Open the targa file again in Photoshop and confirm it has the alpha applied correctly.

You need to have Lumion 10.3 to use Custom Displacement. But note that the workflow is the same, without the Displacement.

Hello Nuno. I did exactly the same as the tutorial but maps doesn't match correctly, also when I scale them, it scales the albedo map only and it looks weird. Do yo know how to fix this? I think this issue is coming from Sketchup, but I am not really sure...

Hi! Without checking the project itself it's hard to tell what's wrong.

[@alangoncalves889]

Nuno, may i ask why you didn't use the roughness inside the albedo as previous tutorials??

You can either use Roughness on the Albedo or Gloss on the Normal map. Just use one of these options.

Hi, Nuno! What I should do when I have both maps: Gloss and Reflection?

[@NunoSilva3d]

Hi! You should only use one. Gloss and Roughness are the same map, just inverted. Some apps take the gloss, others the roughness. In case of Lumion if you find just the Roughness for example, you can invert it and still apply it on the alpha channel of the normal map.

[@project_residential]

@@NunoSilva3d thank you!

In beginning I try to use Gloss as alpha-channel in Normal map, and render wasn't realistic. When I used Reflection render became much better.

Greetings, you have mentioned one has to invert a normal Poliigon map before using it within Lumion. Does a gloss map be inverted as well whilst using it with a normal map for Lumion use?

[@NunoSilva3d]

No, you can use the Gloss map as it is. You only need to invert the Roughness if you want to use it as Gloss map.

[@tchanka3433]

Thx for this tutorial. 1 question : I saw some videos were people's put the AO into the Albedo, and others put the roughness into the Albedo. Can you explain me in wich case i have to use the AO or the roughness ?

[@NunoSilva3d]

Hi Nicolas! The AO is to give some contact shadows in the Albedo. If you get a diffuse map, don't do this, because usually they already come with contact shadows. In Lumion you can either use Gloss or Roughness map. They are the same texture, just inverted. If you use Gloss, put on the alpha channel of the Normal map. If you use Roughness, put on the alpha channel of the Albedo. :)

You can always manually adjust the sliders in Lumion until it looks "right", but it won't be as accurate as if you had a Gloss Map. Next week I'll post a new tutorial on how you can make your own maps from scratch. :)

[@Trimanonymous]

​@@NunoSilva3d is that means there must be a accurate sliders' number,the only thing i need to do is as much as possibile to get close to it？and it wound be the same result?

Hullo, there is some possibility to ad to the Diffuse/Albedo/Colour mat an alpha channel with roughness/reflection/metalness map.

Nuno Silva hi, noticed one change in this version of 10.3 as against the 10 tutorial u had explained before This time u totally skipped using the roughness texture map which u used to put in albeido alpha channel. So is it that due to the new displacement.. The roughness is not useful anymore?

[@NunoSilva3d]

Already replied on Facebook group, but I'll leave it here as well :) that part was not clear from my part and I cannot add notes to KZbin video anymore - you can either use the Roughness in the Alpha Channel of the Albedo or use the Gloss in the Alpha Channel of the Normal map. Roughness and Gloss map are the same map, just inverted. It's just that some Software uses one, and another uses the other. :) But just use one. Either Gloss or Roughness.
