totally random texture thread

what should reducing the texturesize bring? except let it look more blurry? can you precise what i should make better?

it looks to perfect

or to big, it just doesn't look right in the upperleft of your first screen, it looks great though..

I working on a texture set for XreaL.

The arch is a mapmodel... ~2000 polies

hessi: Looking great

ReFlex: Nice, very Quake-a-like.

i made a concrete wall texture for a WW2 bunker too

if i don't make a map with those textures i will release a nice texturepack

small update:

floor, metal and lava

[Blocked Image: http://www.huizkistn.at/rumplkistn/maps/xreal/shot0035.jpg]

the lava need specularity/reflectivity! the rest looks kind of monoton/ut99 like :X it is all big stones and even more stones. but somehow i don't know what you could add there. maybe windows or something that emits blue light or maybe some greenery would be nice.

Im working on it. fist:

Next model will be a window.

...and wood metal stuff.

- Did you try ?

- Make the texture sharpen should be the best way to go thought !

- Think about the amazing work u've done with de_corse ! Plz blow my eyes one more time ! :wink:

I've made few texture for fun, each had few variations. I decided to post one of concrete walls.

edit:and yeah i see that top stripe would be too much repetetive, fixed that arleady.

CGTextures

Much better than hessis texture!

well his texture doesnt tile very well in vertical direction. though he used a photo and only removed perspective. ((( i still like mine!

No, only 1 layer is from cgtextures (rest is ofcourse my stuff and env-tex ) and it is the white stains overlay, it's not a tiling verticaly texture and it's composed from ~50 layers, it's not a photo, good to hear it looks photorealistic

Nice work buddy the designer.

I've been working on gothic theme lately. Here are some of mine. The top one is similar to the bunker you guys made, but it's actually for a pillar.

-Method

This is a result of my latest invention called "Illumination Condition Processing", it reads photo-data and generates results like the example given above.

Nice invention ...

but I just hate stuff like Facegen and alike since they kill all of the artistic-side-of-things, it's like you would create everything with a press of a button, I wouldn't be really satisfied after creating model/tex/whatever using app like this, it just sucks and should be banned.

Making heads by hand sure is cool but after having done 150 of them (like some of the modelers were assigned to do in The Darkness), you get pretty sick of the iterative process. In a professional production with limited time there are two things that matter: output and efficiency. This method gives a better output than 6 days of manual labour (standard time line), requires one click and about five minutes of processing. This gives modelers opportunity to focus on other time consuming tasks with greater precision.

Was that technique used in The Darkness?

No, it was not. This is something I am currently developing in my spare time

awesome! Seems like you have the hand for doing new techniques. How far is the Normalmap-Digi-Cam thing acutally?
