The power control should reduce the roughness value just like it did when driving the specular value, regardless of whether the texture is inverted or not.
Roughness with inverted textures
Moderator: face_off
I'm seeing an inconsistent behavior with inverted image textures when using power. In the example below, I have a black glossy material. The specular map is being driven by a grayscale wood texture. As you see, even when inverted, when the power of the image is reduced, it basically blends it with black (value of 0). However, when plugging the same map into the roughness channel (spec set to 1.0) the opposite seems to happen. Lowering the power on an inverted texture here blends it with white (value of 1).

John - is this happening in Octane Standalone too? (I'm trying to work out if it is a plugin or general Octane issue).The power control should reduce the roughness value just like it did when driving the specular value, regardless of whether the texture is inverted or not.

I exported the ORBX file into Octane Standalone. Same behavior. Perhaps a larger Octane issue.face_off wrote:John - is this happening in Octane Standalone too?

In that case, can you pls post that ORBX file to the Octane Standalone 2.02 release thread with details of the problem and Otoy can look into it.I exported the ORBX file into Octane Standalone. Same behavior. Perhaps a larger Octane issue.

However, add color correction to the roughness slot, then inverted texture works normally.
