first try at moddeling normalmaps:

thats a bit blurry can you upload a render?

another one , inspired from the old hl1 texture [Blocked Image: http://schmung.nupo.org/images/gratething.jpg]

diffusemap

specmap

normalmap

Thanks peris , yeah i'm using lightmaps for each diffuse maps of my textures, that's a pretty fast way to have some kickass shadows.

The technique which consist of using 3ds lighting to make normal maps is way more efficient than the NVIDIA filter imo, at least for the geometry of the texture, for the little reliefs i used the NVIDIA filter and merged the two normal layers in photoshop.

like this

another one before going to bed

that's another hl texture, one from the lab

@ Koko5oVar

Your really making good work with those "next-gen" Textures How about giving the source-image?

@ m4d1n

Very nice work. And im glad to see you here too

Wfr, Sindwiller

A tutorial would be brilliant

I cant manage to veiw my normal maps in 3ds max

Awesome stuff kokos! Especially like both HL texture remakes. Good work

I'm impressed it doesn't looks all that bad in source

at least from far ...

I thought that was doom for a moment! Cool stuff.

Just another experiment. Been messing around with detail layers (highpass another texture, make it tile then use it as a pattern stamp in overlay mode). Still not happy with the contrast / sharpness, but fun messing around anyway. I'll probably size this down to 512^2 as there's not really enough detail to warrant 1024^2.

Ah nice to see all these lab stuff

good work ppl

That's awesome koko

Holy shit, great stuff guys

some more crap

I think the dirt around the floor panels to the right is a bit too uniform and noticable over all the panels. Probably won't notice in a small space but it doesn't seem very tileable.

Ah yeah well thats a bit of the problem as I'm keeping the size down as much as possible. But I believe the spec removes quite some of that problem tbh.

And rather have that then remove the dirt.

A pic of them heavily tiled.
