PBR "Repository of help"
Cube Republic replied to Charlotte Bartlett's topic in General Discussion Forum
OK I think I know what's going on here I had a similar issue with my old ryzen system. It sounds like when you log into SL you're using a lot of threads on the CPU which is causing it to overheat and crash. I looked at the specs at PCpartpicker, and I noticed you'd listed your fans but no cooler so I'm presuming you went with the included cooler that came with your cpu. These usually come with a little sqare of pre-installed thermal paste that dries after years of use causing a poor thermal interface. You might want to check that out , because when I looked at mine it had completely dried to dust and was hardly contacting the thermal plate. The system would hang every time I logged into SL after a while of playing. It handled PBR well until that point, for over a year with the predecessor to your CPU and a 1060 card. -
PBR "Repository of help"

The problem is the normal maps with materialize being direct X when they need to be set open GL. Also the colour space is wrong, and exastberated by making a material from a photograph which probably has a lot of lighting data on it and will give funky normal maps. -

Yeah if you don't calibrate the colour space and the export outputs you'll get all kinds of whacky results. Feel free to connect if you need some help -

Cube Republic replied to shireena1's topic in General Discussion Forum
In my case it's two sets of meshes becasue I use double sided for plants, then I didn't bake textures , I compiled them from various inputs, adding finishing touched and painting them in post. I don't do that now because there's no need to fake light or AO/shading. It was never the intention of LL to have creators make two sets of textures, so the implication that creators are 'lazy' is just ridiculous -
