Hi there, I have a problem related to specular maps in Makeup. So I was trying to create a matte lipstick with version 3.1.4.4. I created a DDS texture in 8.8.8.8 BGRA 32 bpp with Nvidia Tool Exporter and everything worked ok until I popped the file into the game. My matte lipstick has a specular shine like a lipgloss I want to get rid of. I got to know from Feyona that removing a specular map is a bad idea therefore I re-made my .package file with the correct specular map. My lipstick looks like this: GIF picture from imgur. It has a shiny "line". What should I do to remove that linear specular map to make this lipstick matte and not break a file? Any help will be much appreciated.

Try saving in .png or .dds with BC3 settings. As far as I know, 8.8.8.8 BGRA 32 bpp is needed when you save the file for LRLE resources.

Unfortunately .png texture does the same. the newest version of S4S doesn't allow me to upload .dds with BC3 settings. :( I have figured out a work around this issue without blanking a specular map. So I left the overlay untouched and I blacked out the mask layer so the lipstick texture looks like this: photo from imgurThis way round lipstick is matte and specular maps are staying put. I most likely do something wrong where but this is my only solution to it without blanking the specular map.

This way lipstick's specular will cancel the specular on all items on the sim, not only on the lipstick.
