Outdated tables (cross-reference only)

These are a few pages/tables that are included for cross referencing for the sake of older mods and setups, and should not be used when doing things post dawntrail. they are being saved for archival's sake, but I will not be formatting them in a pretty way, sorry. These are taken from the Textools Reference doc made by sel.

Further Notes

SE's Gloss implementation is very unique, and doesn't adhere particularly well to most modern PBR system's assumption of Gloss. (Closer to non-PBR Spec-Gloss)
In particular, their Gloss layers in the textures are really more like [Specular + Gloss]. To get a true Gloss-Only variance, your best bet is to blend Colorset Rows.

Endwalker colorset row reference table

Colorset Reference Table

When working with normal map Alpha channels, your Greyscale Color space should be set to sGrey. (Ctrl-Shift-K in Photoshop for color space settings)


Row #	Greyscale %	Photoshop Greyscale %	sGrey Value	Hex Value	Color
Row 1	0.00	100.00	0	#000000
Row 2	6.67	93.33	17	#111111
Row 3	13.33	86.67	34	#222222
Row 4	20.00	80.00	51	#333333
Row 5	26.67	73.33	68	#444444
Row 6	33.33	66.67	85	#555555
Row 7	40.00	60.00	102	#666666
Row 8	46.67	53.33	119	#777777
Row 9	53.33	46.67	136	#888888
Row 10	60.00	40.00	153	#999999
Row 11	66.67	33.33	170	#AAAAAA
Row 12	73.33	26.67	187	#BBBBBB
Row 13	80.00	20.00	204	#CCCCCC
Row 14	86.67	13.33	221	#DDDDDD
Row 15	93.33	6.67	238	#EEEEEE
Row 16	100.00	0.00	255	#FFFFFF

Colors will blend in pairs of two going down the rows.
(Ex. Row [1 & 2] can be blended, but row [2 & 3] cannot, and will snap to the nearest colorset row)

Sub-material information does not blend, and is determined by discrete value that is closer. (Ex. 3% rounds to Row 1, 6% rounds to row 2)

Photoshop uses Black as "100%" and White as "0%" for some reason, ergo the percentages are reversed for Photoshop.
