arttem 1 Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) It's not important what version of photoshop you are using. There is no any reason to draw red/pink/orange BIS specular (smdi) map by hands. When you convert your regular spec map to *.paa it will be looking red. Note. Yes, you can do it by hands. But here you need a knowledge with what channels and how it works. As for me - BIS Tools all you need. Here you can find explanations about TI map from Vespa - http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?148130-Arma3-Characters-Modding-Tutorial/page10 Edited April 2, 2013 by ArtTem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
