Coeff/taa files

[AlexXII]

Can anyone explain what the taa kit files do please? In the past there's only been colour, coeff, and normal files. If coeff is still for reflectivity then what does the taa image affect?

Thank you, that's a helpful demonstration. As far as I can can tell taa images just make areas lighter or darker, which could be done on the colour image itself. I'll play about with it but won't put much effort into them, just stick to coeffs I think.

I just wanted to politely disagree with your assertion that the taa file is a redundancy. It solves a limitation of the coeff file: the coeff alters the color ... not just the brightness ... of the texture. It - like the taa - applies its effect in a manner that cannot be achieved on the texture. Let’s consider the use of the coeff to create a shimmer to on some part of a kit. If using the coeff alone, the shimmer will also create a change in hue; however, when a less impactful hue is used on the coeff while also applying effects using the taa file, one can create a more subtle effect that does not rely upon light refraction.
