I am trying to create some pilot patches for a livery I am modding. I can create the basic pilot patch file, but I dont know how to create the NORM or the ROUGH files, if I leave them out I get the "default" patch overlays which is "ok" but not quite right. And setting "empty" seems to have, missing texture effect?

 

Can some one point me to a tutorial? Or walk me through the steps you go through to either create the norm and rough files or remove the effects of the "default" ones?

 

Thanks in advance

I haven't done much with patches (yet, getting there), but for something so incredibly small, does it even matter to have a norm, or even a rough met map? I'd imagine for a pilots patch, the good ol' diffuse map will do just fine. Besides, I haven't seen anything for a norm or PBR/roughmet for a patch anywhere, so as far as I know, it isn't done.

thanks, it's for the f/a-18, I'm trying to do some fictional royal navy patches, I think I am pretty close with the patch layout it's just either negating the effects of 'default' rough and norm maps
