Texture Issue with a Checkerboard
40 Posts
Posted Feb 19, 2012
So I'm doing some skinning and was testing out some skins and found that when light was applied to one of the skins I was planning to use (without the light everything looks fine) the skin gets a faint checkboard pattern over the skin (not the pink and black style but a checkboard none the less, any thoughts on why this is happening or maybe a solution?
mat_fullbright 1 (no lighting effects)
mat_fullbright 0 (lighting activated)

i think that is a problem with the texture itself. i also wanted to use that texture but didn't.

this is a long shot, but could it be a cubemap problem?

I think it may be referencing to a normal map that does not exist, therefore it has the checkers. If cubemaps weren't build it would be pinkish where the shiny parts of the material would be.

Bingo, your right.
The consensus for things like this:
Missing texture: pink-black checkerboard period
Missing Normalmap: checkerboard bumpmap on the texture
Missing cubemaps/Missing cubemap-deprived Normalmap: reflective pink-black checkerboard.

so this may be a stupid question, but is there a fix for this, and if so, what is it?

Get rid of the normalmap parameter in the vmt or make a custom one.
