Converting Image to BaseColor

Anonymous — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 05:43:24 GMT

Hello Everyone.

Is there a way to convert a Picture to base color image?

Or an image to diffuse color?

Doesn't matter which software, I just want to convert.

Thank you

Hi!

What do you mean, re-paint the image with only 1 color based on an average of all pixel values?

Photoshop: Filter -> Blur -> Average

No no no,

What I mean is to convert images to diffuse map or Base Color map.

Remember the "Use Flat light" option in Maya lighting? How it convert images to something like diffuse map, I want to do Something like that with images.

How?

Thank you
