WARNING - Paint does NOT have working reflective maps currently.

[Valhalla Awaits]

For the love of god, don't waste money on painting skins. The preview for what paint will look like on skins is "NOT" what it actually looks like in-game. I painted my Ajax skin gold/silver/red, reflective metal paints. Looked AMAZING in the preview screen. Then after buying an applying it... I ended up looking NOTHING like that in-game, the colors were wrong, there was NO reflective maps on the textures so it looked like I was wearing trash painted (poorly) with a spray can. I'll post a screenshot of it here after work. It's insane.

DO NOT BUY PAINT

No the reflective "properties." of the paint. All of the ones that have them. Such as metallic ones. They DO reflect light in the preview window, but "NOT" in-game. This makes all the colors wrong and look flat.

I took screenshots, but forgot to upload them to steamcloud before leaving for work.

I think its just the stark difference between the set lights of the paint room and the global lighting of the game world. It annoys me how different your character looks in game compared to the paint screen. They definitely still have specular and GI reflections in the real world, they are just far more diffuse because of the type of lighting

In BDO they have 5 lighting presets you can switch between when painting your character so you get a better idea of how your character will look, but its still off compared to when your in the actual game.

It'll help when I can post a pic of before and after. But no, I mean there is "ZERO" light reflective properties. """ZERO""" I'm honestly struggling for an example since everything in the real world is more reflective than these.

Chalk. It's as reflective as colored chalk.

Updated with screenshots as evidence of before and after. May need to zoom is to see the worst aspects of it, but as you can see both in the light and in the shade the real-game reflections don't exist for paint, it's just a flat color. And a different shade of color too.

You can see which paints are used in the pic above. But they are all "metallic" paints. Yellow/gold, red, and silver.

Edit: My bad the red is matte colored. As the metallic one is not red, but pink. Red looks normal, as it's not supposed to have a reflective texture. The devs just screwed up and didn't apply reflective maps to the textures outside of the preview window.

so its called metallic red and such? dont want to use them
cool skin ajax rox

it does seem a bit weird like the lighting in the scenes is totally different. I mean from the design standpoint, obviously its different but you prolly get what im saying . What if you turn off global illumination, does it at least get its specularity back? The global illumination off will make everything dark as ♥♥♥♥ but im just curious how it affects the look in your case

I tried that. Went to a dark dungeon instance as well, it's identical. I have every setting at max except ray tracing turned off. (It sucks in this game.) And lumin looks and runs better.

I gotta get to bed now, got work in 5 hours. Will respond at work.

Thanks for sharing man, love it

This 100%

It's definitely a real problem. I grabbed a couple of the paints I used during open beta, which I saved pictures of, and now the paint doesn't look the same as it did in open beta, let alone in the menu.
