OctoTex - Texture Remastering Tool

[left orchid]

Yup

[strong root]

I assume I can use the AI separately and then just grab the roughness that it makes and have the best of both 😛

[left orchid]

But the normals should be in PNG format

[strong root]

Yeah that's no problem

I already prepared that much

Thanks for the answers

[left orchid]

Oh then there's no problems

[left orchid]

No problems

❤️

[left orchid]

Yeah

[left orchid]

You can basically put albedo textures to diffuse folder

Then select the texture that you need

And generate roughness separately

You can generate only roughness for all textures, but through cmd, there's no GUI implementation yet

[strong root]

What would the command be, I started using this when there was no GUI at all so lol

I think I need to update

Also, will it retain the folder structure? I have these textures mimicking the actual game directories to make it easy for people to change things and know where they are later

So the usual is subusds/textures/diffuse,

I have subusds/textures/path/to/material and then in there it has _metalness.dds, _roughness.dds, _normal.dds, etc

[left orchid]

ooooh i forgot

it was in old ui

[left orchid]

It does not saves the folders structure

Only the filenames

[left orchid]

Oh you mean that

I do not recommend you to write to the existing mod

It'll create a new one when you're writing

By default

Mod will be called OctoTexGui

But the files will be in their directories

Like subusds/textures/roughness/75hfy846vfu_rough.dds

[strong root]

Ahh okay

[left orchid]

Yeah, experimental tool so

[strong root]

I'm a little scared because some of the textures have the same name but in different directories, for example the level textures

But I will mess around and do it piece by piece

[left orchid]

Good luck

I just didn't thought that someone will be messing with the tool like that

I was just like... load, upscale, PBR, write

💀

[strong root]

It's no problem, I realize I'm asking all these questions just for the upscaling portion of it and even then have a bunch of conditions attached hah

[mental wasp]

got it working @left orchid thanks

[sly rampart]

Where am I supposed to have the textures in the Octotex directory?

[left orchid]

OctoTex/textures/processing/diffuse

[sly rampart]

Well they appear but it still isn't properly loaded

[left orchid]

if you placed them by hands, do not press load button

octotex should be in the game folder

where rtx-remix is located

[sly rampart]

alright, is it supposed to stay in dds format?

[left orchid]

no

you should place them as png

otherwise, do not coy anything

just place octotex to the game folder

open octotex

and press load

and move all the textures you've placed by yourself back

[sly rampart]

also how can I fix this

[left orchid]

you did not checked the pins right?

#1146726031022108752 message

[sly rampart]

'pip uninstall pytorch' wasn't uninstalling pytorch i had to use 'pip uninstall torch' to get it to uninstall

[left orchid]

oh ok

[zealous basin]

Yeah, the name of the package is torch

[left orchid]

I've continues old models training

will see how that looks

for now i gonna add material properties

[strong root]

Unfortunately the thing completely destroyed the normal map when it upscaled, looks like a painting. All good

[left orchid]

did you used RealEsrgan?

[strong root]

Is that the default?

[left orchid]

i can't remember

im changing it alot now

[strong root]

upscale_model = "models/RealESRGAN/RealESRGAN_x4plus.pth"
selected_mod = "captured"
transparency_as_reflectivity = True```

Here's the default config

[left orchid]

yeah probably

default one

[strong root]

Alright

[left orchid]

that's sad

[strong root]

It's alright, like I said, pushing the limit here just out of laziness mostly

[left orchid]

i'm doing some cool stuff rn for OctoTex

👀

[jaunty kindle]

Wait

You can load in models or

Is this using the translucent function

mdl_translucent thing

[sage hare]

Referenced that coach's material to AperturePBR_Translucent

[left orchid]

HMM

how to make it editable in real time? T_T

AAAH

i understood how to do that

YEAAAH

IT UPDATES WITH OCTOTEX HELL MAMMA MIA

[sage hare]

What you have changed

[left orchid]

i just need to update mod.usda to show remix that something has changed

i dont really need to change anything in mod.usda

just update it

[sage hare]

I think I've said that

[left orchid]

ah

then im blind

[sage hare]

nah I wasn't so clear

I said rewrite the mod.usda

I meant write the file again so it is "changed"

[empty knot]

God damn octotex updates faster than I shit in tacobel

[left orchid]

duuude

[sage hare]

Nice!

How do you make the frame?

Is it a separate mesh

[left orchid]

it is a separated mesh

[sage hare]

That's awesome

Put something inside and view from angle 👀

[left orchid]

i've added ior

let's try it

woah

oh i thought ior is a power of refraction

ooops

[sage hare]

Yes kinda

[left orchid]

but it just made my reflection powerful

[sage hare]

But better name it as simply "Index of Refraction"

ior is the conventional name

Also a small reference box would be great

[sage hare]

like
Water: 1.33
Glass: 1.5
..

[sage hare]

It's not ior strength : ) just ior or more clearly "Index of Refraction"

[left orchid]

k

[sage hare]

@left orchid what about this

https://www.cgdirector.com/ior-index-of-refraction-list/

ignore the opaque materials listed there

we can't have both opacity and ior at the same time in remix

[sage hare]

not in the same mesh

[sage hare]

whoa

loving it ❤️

[left orchid]

too!

[jaunty kindle]

how is it magnifying lol?

[left orchid]

idk lol

[sage hare]

@left orchid It would be great if OctoTex ui had some preset values for common materials like glass, water etc

[left orchid]

Yeah that will be amazing

[sage hare]

Here is the website btw: https://www.cgdirector.com/ior-index-of-refraction-list/

[left orchid]

thanks

[mental wasp]

Wow like a glass u can add it for water too

[left orchid]

Yup

i did not tested it

but in theory yes

[mental wasp]

Did u planned anything for lights ?

[sage hare]

@left orchid Can the unbaker model handle these?

The baked in shadows

[sage hare]

Just set ior to 1.33 and slap a wavy normal map ez

[left orchid]

idk lets try

[sage hare]

and a blue-ish diffuse color along with a correct value of transmittance m distance

[left orchid]

nope

naah

only textures

[sage hare]

Yea it does a good job for baked ao tho

shadows are just too big and pop out

[left orchid]

let's try this one

colors washed

a bit

[sage hare]

See its great for removing ao

[left orchid]

yeah

[sage hare]

I think shadows would need masking

or a more specialized model

maybe both 🙃

@left orchid How do you train those models?

[left orchid]

wdym?

[sage hare]

Like how do you craft the training set, like gathering albedo and baked maps from the internet?

[left orchid]

yes, exactly

baked maps are mine

i did them by combaining the raw color with normals and depth maps

in some ways

wait ill show ya

and that's what im generating

theres light upside down

[sage hare]

Normals are?

[sage hare]

whoa how did we come here

[left orchid]

hahaha

[left orchid]

I've uploaded the tool

And models too

❤️

[celest ivy]

have you tried fixing this?

[left orchid]

I did not fixed it

[mental wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/lovely-actions-amitab-bachan-looking-complementing-gif-7604430269293023140

[left orchid]

Material preview doesn't work for now

[mental wasp]

u can also suggest overall best settings under slidders for noob ppl like me

[left orchid]

Okie

[mental wasp]

when i write the glass...it show.. what does this means

[left orchid]

Did you copied everything??

Create a materials folder

Inside of octotex folder

I've forgot that

[mental wasp]

and the files it is searching for ?

[left orchid]

Press F5 in the browser

When OctoTex tab is open

[mental wasp]

yea done

[mental wasp]

inside octotex not octotex/textures

[left orchid]

Yup

[drifting vortex]

Did u release the update?

[left orchid]

Yeah

New models are on the Google disk already

[mental wasp]

it is writing to all the materials

[left orchid]

That's ok

Just select one of the textures and change the options

[mental wasp]

yes i did it started to writing to all

[mental wasp]

i still get few errors when legacy pbr to all texture

theres more

[celest ivy]

white text on white background

[left orchid]

Amazing

I'll fix that later

[left orchid]

Show the results please

🤗

[celest ivy]

generating

and I will make a video when there is a fix for non-square textures

[left orchid]

Okie

[celest ivy]

for now I can only take screenshots that do not contain broken textures

[left orchid]

I recommend you to edit some textures manually

For things like glass

And using unbaker

[celest ivy]

yes, I will definitely do it

[left orchid]

Cuz unbaker is not used in the automatic PBR for now

[celest ivy]

I generated normals, but they are not in this folder, why does Octotex look for them here?

[mental wasp]

`its not writing the the code to replacements aagain.

[left orchid]

Nvm

[left orchid]

Remove all the text inside of replacements file

And write again

Without cleaning the hashes

[celest ivy]

why ai works on CPU

[left orchid]

Do you have a torch with cuda right?

It's maybe cuz of files reading converting and writing

[celest ivy]

how to check this?

[left orchid]

You did not Installed it right?

Then launch these commands in cmd

pip uninstall torch

pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

[celest ivy]

cu118 is already installed, correct?

I reinstalled it and it still works on CPU

[mental wasp]

i deleted every thing

it generates file not the code

[left orchid]

Then idk, maybe it's working not on CPU

But CPU does something like loading and writing stuff idk for real

[left orchid]

Hm

That's strange, cuz I've tested on my pc

I've removed all the text from replacements

And it wrote just fine

I need a parser...

[celest ivy]

and not on gpu?)

[left orchid]

I see

I've said, idk

[celest ivy]

[left orchid]

It should use gpu

I'll try to mess with it tomorrow

[mental wasp]

still confirming its not working....u try after deleting octotexgui folder...

[left orchid]

Did you used the latest version right?

Ughm

[mental wasp]

with the new verion i did evrything from the start upscled generated legacy pbr then write

[left orchid]

Ok then, I'll write a parser tomorrow

It'll fix all the writing issues

Sorry that it takes a lot of time to fix that

[mental wasp]

plus it doesnt even copied the materials it generated

[left orchid]

Wdym?

You mean that it does not write the dds files?

If so, that's probably because it saved that they've already been written

You need to clean hash, if it does not saves dds files

[mental wasp]

it does i am talking about glass materials it created

[sharp canopy]

try use these Commands with cmd python install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

[left orchid]

Wait wait

Wdym copy then?

[left orchid]

updated materials preview

[left orchid]

Monkey

[jaunty kindle]

Frosted glass

[left orchid]

that's hl2 water

just imagine perfect chaos in sadx with this

[jaunty kindle]

Is it animated

[left orchid]

it's scrolling

there's a stop button at the left top corner

[left orchid]

haha, gmod prop

[proud ore]

Можешь показать как эта текстура выглядит?

а то мой Окто сьебался

ибо мне винду пришлось переустановить

[left orchid]

ща

я могу просто так

[mental wasp]

Yes there are 3 links in the requirement...and any of it doesn't install with dependencies

Doing all together

[proud ore]

ну я говорил про ПБР

Я про то как она выглядит в твоем Окто

[left orchid]

Ну это уже когда мне интернет дадут

[proud ore]

Понятно

[left orchid]

Сижу на работе, твари инет вырубили

[mental wasp]

oh so i have to copy the materials manually but still did u fixed writing

[proud ore]

Both translations are incorrect

[sage hare]

That's why you should use english here

[proud ore]

Thats why i can use russian instead

[sage hare]

So we perceive your colleagues as "creatures"

[proud ore]

Wat?

[sage hare]

#1146726031022108752 message

google translate says I’m sitting at work, the creatures have turned off the Internet

[proud ore]

Oh

He was talking about that someone turn off his internet

And he naming them like Bastards

Creatures not really fit there

Its direct meaning of word "твари"

But its just mean like bad people

[sage hare]

Aside from joke why not speak english while you can ?

[proud ore]

I can speak

[sage hare]

Yea you all guys can

[proud ore]

But with him i can speak in russian because its easier

Kritischer Motorschaden, Bewegung ist unmöglich.

[mental wasp]

I should also speak my mothertongue

and kill some animals

[left orchid]

[mental wasp]

u got the water too gb meh th update

[left orchid]

i dont understand what are you saying

[mental wasp]

did u updated git hup for thwater too

[left orchid]

it's jsut a glass

marked as water in remix

lol

[mental wasp]

does it work properly

[left orchid]

yup

[mental wasp]

dayum

[sage hare]

ior?

[left orchid]

MAAX

hahaha

[celest ivy]

does water work in remix? nothing changes for me when I mark the texture like water

[left orchid]

nah doesnt worked too, maybe cuz the game is already trying to animate the water

[sage hare]

It's not supposed to turn that material into "water"

Its for animating its normal map

for waves

You need to do material replacement to get that translucency

[mental wasp]

u need to to attach the matterial too

[celest ivy]

I have a more interesting task, the game has animated water consisting of 10 (or more) frames, instead I need to make a seamless cyclic animation of waves with a height map for the same number of frames, how is this even possible?

[sage hare]

You make heightmaps for those 10 or more frames?

and assign AperturePBR_Translucent to all

[sage hare]

sorry normals

I don't think it supports pom

[drifting vortex]

i have a Qs that is confusing me, when i like configure a material, do i have to use the "write" in the Material tab or just using the "write" in the Main tab will also work and save the settings for materials aswell

[left orchid]

hi, is it possible to change power of normal maps per texture?

[left orchid]

they are mirrored

doing the same

[drifting vortex]

for sum reason its not writing one texture

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'webui/textures/temp/121BCA8EA418C5BF_normal.png'
Converting...: 99%|████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████▌| 129/130 [00:56<00:00, 2.30it/s]

[left orchid]

it hangs?

show the logs file

[drifting vortex]

tis one?

[left orchid]

yup

unable to open image 'textures/processing/displacements/FF4AAA3F9D7E854C_disp.png': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/3569

do you have files inside displacements folder?

btw it may not write cuz theres some error in the code

i already fixed that for me

i'll upload soon

[drifting vortex]

yus

[left orchid]

nah

btw pom on the footsteps looks good

[drifting vortex]

da heck is he doing to that orange hedge

[sage hare]

There are global ones in remix menu for translucent and opacity but other than that no

[drifting vortex]

dang i never tried to see how gun shot decals will look with pom in gmod

[jaunty kindle]

He's not a hedgehog

[left orchid]

nah globals are not interesting for now

[sage hare]

For some reason every single normal map I slap onto translucents cause some sort of flickering, reducing the strength helps

[sage hare]

noice

[left orchid]

maybe normals too powerful

[sage hare]

I generally use the one from portal, it has that issue as well

[mental wasp]

this is glass why its not transperant

[left orchid]

it does not set's glass material automatically

you need to set it by hands

in the material tab

[sage hare]

Yea there is no way to confidently determine

[left orchid]

yup

[sage hare]

some games even use shaders for the glass effect so in remix they're black-gray-white

or cubemaps

[left orchid]

or white-ish strange mess like in source games

like water normals but gray

[celest ivy]

I need to generate a cyclic seamless animation of water, split into ~10 textures (frames), and generate normal maps, heights, etc. for all these textures, and the height map should look like waves

I can't imagine how to do this at all

[sage hare]

I think heightmaps don't work on translucent material

pom

[sage hare]

Octotex will generate normals for you

or you could use the portal's

PortalRTX\lss\gameReadyAssets\SubUSDs\textures\T_Water_Toxic_normal_OTH.dds

[mental wasp]

nfs has that conversion to glass goin on

water has 12 to 16 textures not exactly remember

[left orchid]

btw i have another question

does the scene captures into usd.dds file?

[sage hare]

?

[left orchid]

that's what i've got

[sage hare]

uh thats just a thumbnail

[left orchid]

ugh

[sage hare]

it should be inside captures and named something like %date%.usd

[left orchid]

i have no anything else

[sage hare]

The new builds have two options one of them only captures the assets

[left orchid]

ik

i've captured the scene

[sage hare]

Hmm weird

do you have usd files in the materials folder?

[left orchid]

yup

[sage hare]

if not check the .trex/usd folder

[left orchid]

wait

wait

[left orchid]

usd in the materials?

[sage hare]

yea for each texture

[left orchid]

ahmm

[sage hare]

check the .trex/usd folder

and logs

[sage hare]

does it have somehting like failed to load lss plugins

[left orchid]

where's the logs?

[sage hare]

hl2_d3d9.log

[left orchid]

like bridge logs?

it's sonic

[sage hare]

not that one

[sage hare]

is it 64 bit?

[left orchid]

sonic is 32bit

i never had these usd files

[sage hare]

whatever, there should be a gameexe_d3d9.log near the exe

[left orchid]

i didn't know that here's should be usd files

i have this

[sage hare]

why its named message lol

what else do you have

[sage hare]

there should be one for the dxvk-remix

[left orchid]

nope

[sage hare]

sonic_d3d9.log ?

[sage hare]

where is the exe

maybe its extension is txt for you

[left orchid]

that's a search

[sage hare]

weird

[left orchid]

these are all d3d9 files

those two i've sent already

[sage hare]

can you check if you have a hl2_d3d9.log file for gmod

[left orchid]

nope

wait, maybe ik what the problem is

what if i try to launch the game as root user

that sounds strange ik

[sage hare]

uh, do you have the environmental variable DXVK_LOG_LEVEL

set to none or whatever

[left orchid]

those are controlled by steam

[sage hare]

override it somehow?

[sage hare]

yea because no one would want to have tons of log files for each game

[sage hare]

like can't you just do something like export DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=debug

not sure if that's how to set env vars in zsh

[left orchid]

that'll work

[sage hare]

uh I just realized steam will override it again upon launch?

do proton logs are get written to the game directory?

[sage hare]

yea

permission issue

[left orchid]

ooh

how can i fix that...

[sage hare]

no idea mate

[left orchid]

that cringe

[sage hare]

you have an idea?

[left orchid]

nope, googling now

[sage hare]

sudo chmod -R a+rw /dir ?

[left orchid]

Cuz I did not wrote a parser

I'm a bit busy

[mental wasp]

how is it working for u

[left orchid]

I've already granted full access for everyone to test that

[sage hare]

oh

[left orchid]

Same question, how it does not working for you

[mental wasp]

can u check my console logs whats wrongs

there are some errors

[left orchid]

There's nothing wrong

[sage hare]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamPlay/comments/jvxk35/proton_games_cant_access_external_drive/
STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS=/path/to/unexpected/folder %command%

what about this @left orchid

[left orchid]

It's on the same storage, and it writes the textures lol

[sage hare]

I would give it a chance no matter how silly it sounds

[left orchid]

And located right in the steamapps folder

[mental wasp]

after generating dds it doest not do anything

[left orchid]

nah same

[sage hare]

[left orchid]

YAS

[sage hare]

so this is an issue with the usd plugin they use

[left orchid]

yup

[sage hare]

So a solution posted?

[left orchid]

hahahaha

no

[sage hare]

I think you should open an issue

in rtx-remix repo

This is something they should be aware of

[mental wasp]

is the writing works for u ?

[sage hare]

of captures? yes

[left orchid]

ok let's try that

[mental wasp]

can u share ur octotex files without equipments

[sage hare]

I don't have octotex right now

I was talking about the problem ALEX having

[sage hare]

👀

[left orchid]

nah same

I've relaunched proton fully

Hope it'll work

nah

[mental wasp]

can u share yours ?

[left orchid]

dud on github is all my files so

[mental wasp]

its just wasting my time

[mental wasp]

u also have on your comp share that one

[left orchid]

they are the same

[mental wasp]

give me

still

[left orchid]

bruh

it may not work for you

cuz i've added emission

[mental wasp]

i am asking all files

[left orchid]

that's the writing

sorry but im a bit busy rn

[sage hare]

do you have git installed?

[mental wasp]

yea

[sage hare]

git status ?

[mental wasp]

how to check

[sage hare]

you cloned the repo didn't you

[left orchid]

naaaaaah

[sage hare]

what did you just tried

[mental wasp]

no... thought u reefreing to that.. lets try that

[left orchid]

copied the sadx folder to the program files

[left orchid]

Ok the problem is both in USD itself and Linux

I think

Cuz it tries write the USD

[sage hare]

Or more accurately the usd library not being properly tested on linux

[left orchid]

But the wine works with drives as network filesystems ( I think so )

And boom, conflict

[left orchid]

Not on Linux but with network filesystems

That's more accurate

Cuz I'm not alone, even windows users have this problem

Just wine handles all the drives as network filesystems

THATS JUST A THEORY

[sage hare]

That makes sense, I think I could reproduce this

to test if it actually is the problem

[left orchid]

If it is, then we'll know the core of the problem

So the devs will know where to look

[sage hare]

So I have to simply run the remix run on a network drive?

[left orchid]

I think so

[sage hare]

Does it work if I mount a offline drive as a network drive?

or I could use a vm as the file server

[left orchid]

Idk really

[sage hare]

Okay hold on

[left orchid]

I'm not a windows gigachad

[sage hare]

I think no one except for those worked in windows nt is confident about windows behaviour

😄

[left orchid]

😂

[left orchid]

Maybe make a plugin for normals and roughness presets

Like a wave normals

Cloth

Noise

And etc

And btw I have an idea for real time editing

[jaunty kindle]

👀

real time editing? wdym

[left orchid]

When you selecting the texture and copying the hash, and going back to the octotex tab

The GUI will scrap clipboard

And search for the texture by itself

And if there's a match

Automatically select the texture for editing

That way you can just copy the hash of the texture in the game

Then get back to the octotex

And edit right after

And no needs for searching

I did everything this in one session without rejoining the game lol

And with clipboard feature it'll be even easier

But this will not work for Firefox

[sage hare]

Uh

[left orchid]

Yeah Firefox is like a safari parody kinda

Not in the bad way

But some css features getting there more later than in chrome

And other things

[sage hare]

@left orchid A new dxvk build just came out

it updates the usd libraries used to a newer version

[left orchid]

Oh hi there

[left orchid]

Hmmm

Sounds interesting

[sage hare]

don't forget to update it before testing

[left orchid]

Yup

I'll try tomorrow

If it'll work

Then I'm going to make a model loader finally

Ooh oh oh

With clipboard support

Maybe I'll make an automatic texture loader

Like when you copied the hash from the game

Open octotex

And it will search for the texture if the captures are loaded

If it can't find it

Then it'll search in the captures folder for dds

And if find, then convert it

And select automatically

Then you can just run the game, make capture

Copy the hash of interesting texture

And you can edit right after

Without loading the captures

Yoo, this sounds amazing

[mental wasp]

even after cloning it dosent work...it gives me some material error

if i remove mods.udsa and replacement it says cant find that file

so it was generating before mods.usda but now it require u to be alredy there

i should stop wasting time on this

[left orchid]

Don't delete them

Just remove text inside

And only replacements.usda

Don't touch the mod.usda

For real, does the new versions of octotex works for someone?

[mental wasp]

what ever u say its not working

[left orchid]

😭

[drifting vortex]

Did u update the write.py? It wasn't working for me, I can see all the configurations and reflection for glasses in the UI but when writing it, It didn't work in game

I really wanna see them in game😭

[left orchid]

Send me the replacements file

Please

[drifting vortex]

ma electricity went out 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[left orchid]

Ugh

[left orchid]

Nothing appears in the replacements.usda right?

[drifting vortex]

It's gonna come in a hour and 30ins

[left orchid]

Waiting

[mental wasp]

just a template

[left orchid]

Nah, everything is telling me to make a proper parser

I've started working on it today btw

I think tomorrow I'll fix the writing fully

[mental wasp]

and make the usda generatable

[left orchid]

Sorry, I was busy today so I was not able to finish it

[left orchid]

Yeah, it will generate usda

That's just a parsing issue

[drifting vortex]

Also I forgot to tell U but for some dang reason only the glasses of the leet crew guy was working and replacing with the new version

[left orchid]

Maybe because of writing issue?

You've said that it does not writing for you

Oh wait

[left orchid]

Try this

If it'll not work, then wait till tomorrow

[drifting vortex]

Yea it stops at like for example it's writing 120 textures it will stop at 199

[left orchid]

Give it a try

[drifting vortex]

Oh I did try that write.py

[left orchid]

Oh

[drifting vortex]

Didn't work

[left orchid]

That's hard to develop for two platforms sheesh

[drifting vortex]

Yea

Also are U working on emissions? Cause I saw a lot textures that would be cool with emissions, like there is this HL1/CS1.6 Texture that has green and yellow buttons that would look cool if they were to glow and caste light and shadows.

[left orchid]

Yeah, I'm working on emissions 😎

Already did a working slider in the GUI

Check this

The monitor is glowing

I'm too far from it

[drifting vortex]

Ohhh I see that

[left orchid]

But trust me, there's a shadows from it

🥰

[drifting vortex]

I have never played sonic but there's a sonic map in Gmod and it has that floating monitors in it as well

[left orchid]

Oh and may work for Gmod, and any other game basically

Like the lights of the car

It will cast a proper light and shadows

[drifting vortex]

Dang

[left orchid]

On the screenshot the textures was tagged as UI textures so that's why it glowing

[drifting vortex]

Man there is this neon race map, with all these reflections and stuff, it will look like NFS

[left orchid]

But I've already did a proper emission

[left orchid]

Oh yeeeah

[mental wasp]

materials also generate for every texture...

[left orchid]

Oh btw you can change the upscaler model in the settings now

Not on GitHub still

[mental wasp]

i saw that

[left orchid]

You can generate by hands

Just select the texture, then open materials tab

And here you go

[drifting vortex]

Oh I did add some glowy on some textures via world space UI but problem is some textures glowy parts are attached to there not glowy parts so when set it as world space UI the whole texture glows including the parts that should not be glowing

[left orchid]

Oh yeah

I can't fix that

[mental wasp]

yea i did that it generates material for evry texture

[left orchid]

Maybe try to add an threshold

[left orchid]

It shouldn't

You've probably pressed the "generate materials for every texture" button

In the main tab

Cuz functions for them are different

[mental wasp]

i preesed the write button under materials

[left orchid]

And function for per texture generation is not able to generate for all textures

[left orchid]

Write button does not generate pbr

[mental wasp]

i am talking about .mat files

[left orchid]

Don't touch the mat files

It's only for GUI

To save textures properties

When I'm talking about material generation, I mean a normal map, roughness and pom generation

Not the .mat files

Mat files should be generated for every texture

[mental wasp]

So mat files dont needs to be copied to remix

[left orchid]

Of course

You don't need to copy anything

Just press write button and nothing else

[drifting vortex]

here

[left orchid]

That's after writing right?

[drifting vortex]

yus

[left orchid]

Thanks for the info

[left orchid]

HELL YEAH

new update with new USD libs are working for me!

[left orchid]

yup this clipboard feature is amazing

[left orchid]

welp

im compiling usd-core

for python

sh!t

[left orchid]

Compiled succesfully

exported to PATH and PYTHONPATH

and now i have usd-core on python 3.11.4

😛

and all the things like usdcat

im happy now

[sage hare]

Now you use the usd-core library instead of writing raw text?

[sage hare]

🎉

[left orchid]

im writing my own parser, but now idk maybe use usd-core

ooof i think i can't hahaha

SystemError: type Boost.Python.enum has the Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC flag but has no traverse function

[left orchid]

sh!it ok im compiling python3.10

💀

[left orchid]

why tf is this error happens on 3.11

usd is more like fckusd

im so angry now

😠

[left orchid]

fk you usd-core

now i can use it

but now i can't use things from 3.11

like AI

and i can't run octotex in 3.10 without hese packages

uuhhh

at least usd-core is working now

i have a full fricking adventure with it lol

[drifting vortex]

Dang that new emissive option

[left orchid]

nope that's a jump spring from sonic

oh

ah yeah

[mental wasp]

I am also 3.11 is this the problem with me

[left orchid]

can you install usd-core?

give it a try

pip3 install usd-core

and show me what it throws at u

i mean screenshot

[mental wasp]

Not on pc now I wil check in half hour

[left orchid]

ok

[left orchid]

can you try it?

[drifting vortex]

is the update released with fix write.py?

[left orchid]

pip3 install usd-core

[left orchid]

will be soon

after i done with usd-core

or

pip install usd-core

i can't remember

[drifting vortex]

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement usd-core (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for usd-core

[left orchid]

yeah

[drifting vortex]

it gives this error

[left orchid]

you will not be able to use usd-core

[drifting vortex]

when installing usd-core

[left orchid]

and load and write models

sadly

and maybe write the textures

with the new update

i need to make a multiple write functions then

[drifting vortex]

what if i manually install it there are files of it here

https://pypi.org/project/usd-core/#files

[left orchid]

files are for 3.10 python

[drifting vortex]

ah

[left orchid]

you can try to install python 3.10

but you'll need to reinstall everything else like pytorch

[drifting vortex]

yea i dont remember which python version i hav

oh

Python 3.11.5

well hopefully i can modify the textures without the need of usd core otherwise i will downgrade to 10

[left orchid]

wait i'll try to do something with it

[left orchid]

did you know that i wanted to do writing with usd-core?

i wanted

until saw that shit

with versions

[drifting vortex]

dang does that mean using the tool would be impossible for most peps?

[mental wasp]

So we need to revert to 3.10 ?

[left orchid]

k i have usd-core source code, maybe i'll be able to write my own lib for that

[left orchid]

dont do that

[mental wasp]

If you have noticed warnings properly there is going away some support for torch in future version

[left orchid]

i saw that

pls im angry now

i'll come back later

[drifting vortex]

or it could be like one of those fake warnings, like how winrar has that fake warning but is still working for so many years for me, that 30 day trial hasnt expired till today

[mental wasp]

Lol but why u use winrar...use 7zip it's way faster

[left orchid]

nah i've made only reaader for now

forget that

you'll not be able to edit the models with octotex

im making my own parser

not hte best one but i like it

[mental wasp]

why ?

[left orchid]

becuase you cant install usd-core

it's only for python 3.10, but if you install python 3.10, idk what will break for you

but something will break for you im sure

[mental wasp]

are u on 3.10

[left orchid]

i have two versions, 3.10 i compiled by myself

[mental wasp]

what if i clean install after wiping evrything

[left orchid]

idk

that's an ugly json

Lol wtf

I've been blocked?

[mental wasp]

Not u everyone

[left orchid]

Wdym

[mental wasp]

Everyone getting this

[sage hare]

Even right now?

[sage hare]

Bro uses gnome

[mental wasp]

Yea this time discord properly fkd

[left orchid]

Yup

[mental wasp]

Try resetting router

[left orchid]

oh discord was fixed

so thats the array

from usda

yaaay

now i need to convert that back to usda

and boom

perfect writer

[sage hare]

You're writing your own usda parser?

[left orchid]

yup

already wrote

now i need to save it back as usda

so after that all i can do is just iterate usda just like array

baiscally i just make usda syntax looks like a json one for json parsing

cuz im too lazy now for something better

but it works

[mental wasp]

Should I upgrade pip it's showing me a newer version to upgrade

[left orchid]

Why

Idk nothing is working for you, I'm just scaried that if you update something, everything will be even worse

[mental wasp]

I have downgraded and successfully installed usd core

Then it's showing the pip update

[mental wasp]

It's not working for others to u need to mention the versions u are using all the time codes get updated...if u give half info how is that gonna work

What version is your pip

[left orchid]

Im trying to add packages into req file

Sorry, I'm a bit angry now

[mental wasp]

me too

[left orchid]

Ok I've almost done

But update will come after weekends

[drifting vortex]

As far I can understand, in the new version of octatex u will be able to see the whole model that the texture is being used for? Like I'm able to see the Whole Counter strike M4A1 weapon model in the new UI?

[left orchid]

That's too

But models parsing is still doesn't work

But with my own USDA parser that will be much easier to do

[left orchid]

You'll be able to even replace the models

In Blender for example

[drifting vortex]

Cool

[mental wasp]

writing works now

[left orchid]

I didn't change anything

What did you do?

💀

[mental wasp]

as i told

[left orchid]

Downgraded Python inversion?

[mental wasp]

yea

[left orchid]

Wth is going on 💀

That's not the way it should work

[drifting vortex]

Wow really just downgrading python works

Imma then try that

[mental wasp]

u are buliding the code on 3.10 and we were using 3.11 does that make sense

[left orchid]

Dude, u're wrong

I can't even install 3.10 on my system

[mental wasp]

why

[left orchid]

There's no "exe" file or something

[drifting vortex]

Uff this feels like a maze

[left orchid]

Because I have no 3.10 in repositories

I'm on Linux bruh

I've compiled it from the source code today actually, so there's no way I've developed the tool on 3.10 dude

[mental wasp]

linux then in cant say anything ...i just insatalled from microsoft store

[left orchid]

Bro sorry, I can't read what you've typed

I just don't understand

[drifting vortex]

Which exact version of 3.10 are u using? Type "python --version" in CMD

[jaunty kindle]

@left orchid what are you adding in your tool?

[left orchid]

Emission, USDA parser

Clipboard feature

[mental wasp]

did it again generating pbr

[left orchid]

That allows you to just copy the texture hash in the game, then open the tool back, and the texture will be selected automatically

And some minor changes

[left orchid]

It is writing and not generating pbr

As I said before.mat files are not PBR

[mental wasp]

i understand

[left orchid]

pbr is physically based rendering

[mental wasp]

generation was working before too

[left orchid]

So the normals, pom, roughness and metalness

[mental wasp]

yea works

[left orchid]

I remember that the problem was in writing

[mental wasp]

its been 3 days i was telling its not writing

[left orchid]

I remember

But I have a job in real Life

Wife, and other things

So I can't fix it right away

Sorry

[mental wasp]

not forcing u too do it now...as i said give clear and all instructions

[left orchid]

Yup I'll try

🙂

[left orchid]

I'll make a roughness slider that will work with roughness map

Cuz for now if you made a roughness map, it'll not work with a slider

[mental wasp]

when transperency is true in config it looks looks like this even worse...i have to disbale to make it correct properly

[mental wasp]

yea

[left orchid]

Yeah that's for source games, cuz source uses transparency as reflectivity

[mental wasp]

i am just tring to make glass

[left orchid]

Like for reflective windows for example

[mental wasp]

yea

[left orchid]

Uuuhh I wanna publish the new version so bad

[mental wasp]

reflective and transpereent

[left orchid]

Because you can just copy the hash right in the game, and then alt+tab to the tool and it'll select the texture automatically

That's amazing thing

[left orchid]

How's it going?

[mental wasp]

need to check in game ...there are few steps not clear about...just written glass

[mental wasp]

after copying the hash where to paste

[left orchid]

It's not on GitHub

I didn't upload it

[left orchid]

You don't need to paste it

[mental wasp]

it will automatically pick up

[left orchid]

Yup

[mental wasp]

ahh

[left orchid]

Just copy, alt+tab, and here you go

Edit, write, and back into the game

And it will be updated automatically

[mental wasp]

without closing the game

[left orchid]

Yup

[mental wasp]

it will rewrite usda ?

[left orchid]

Yeah

[mental wasp]

noice

[left orchid]

I'm making a USDA class to parse USDA

So

[mental wasp]

no idea about parse just know about parse lighting

[left orchid]

After that, I'll be able to convert USD models to USDA, then parse USDA, and with a new parser just convert it to obj for example

[left orchid]

I mean, parsing the text

To convert it into json and then to associative array

[mental wasp]

oh

[left orchid]

This will work for anyone without usd-core

[mental wasp]

nice

[left orchid]

But without Usd-core I can't convert USD to USDA

I'm not that smart

[mental wasp]

u can i know u will find a way

[left orchid]

But maybe in the future

I have the sources so

Maybe I'll understand something

[mental wasp]

hmm

[drifting vortex]

Which python should I get now? Python 10 or 11? I reseted ma c drive where all the stuff for python is cause sumthin was eating the space and also I found it easier to uninstall every single thing related to python.

[mental wasp]

3.10

[left orchid]

3.10 for now

[mental wasp]

after installing requiremnts uninstall torch and reinstall torch torchvision torch audio

then usd core

[drifting vortex]

I think resetting my c drive would automatically uninstall torch but still gonna try it

[mental wasp]

what..after installing u have to do that

no need to reset cdrive

if installed python from ms store then unistall will do

[mental wasp]

@left orchid after slectecting in game copying hash alt tabbing is not taking me to that texture

[drifting vortex]

wow now theres 80 gb more space in ma c drive i have no idea wat on earth i installed in it that made it go below 2 gb

computer iss working fast now

[jaunty kindle]

always leave like 20gb available

[left orchid]

I've told you already, that update is NOT on GitHub rn

[mental wasp]

what is this error

[left orchid]

That's webui thing, forget about it

You'll not see those errors in the new update

😛

[mental wasp]

Once i want to doing it from the clean files so i removed existing files

now 4x upscale is not working

[left orchid]

Any error?

[mental wasp]

no

after loading textures

[left orchid]

Try to clear hash In the settings

And try again

[mental wasp]

ah i forgot

yeah working

@left orchid one last think why u made OctotexGUI folder instead of gameReadyAssset

do i need to copy fthe mod from GUI to game ready assets

[left orchid]

Because gameReadyAssets may already exist, so that's kinda "fool protection"

You'll be able to write to other mods in the future

But not now

[mental wasp]

So how live editing works when it writes to GUi not the game ready asset

[left orchid]

Remix reads any folder in mods folder

😛

[mental wasp]

so i dont need to copy files to game resy asset

[left orchid]

Exactly

[mental wasp]

u need to make a long read me

[left orchid]

Yup

[mental wasp]

making it together is good later u will miss stuff
