totally random texture thread

Hey there !

Your texture is far too dark. It'll be a pain in ass to light a room with such a texture since it'll "drink" all bounces.

Futhermore, for now, it looks more like a metal overlay put on a basic modelisation more than a real metallic texture. You need to add more details (seams between plates, screw, scratchs, etc) to make it more credible. The dark yellow splatter you put isn't appropriate at all too =s

Try to study how shiny a metal could be according to its roughness, it could bring a lot into your work =)

Check out my bricks bros:

Really nice texture. An entire set like that would be great for a CSGO map

Thanks, still messing with lighting setups and materials masks in zbrush for that texture... Not a whole lot of photoshop work done to it yet.

2nd go at it, think it came out a little better this time.

Too generic imo . You should put more details into =)

Now that you have come so far with these three buttons, can't you just make a really good remake of HOMM II or HOMM III? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?!

EDIT: Also, nice to see some retro stuff.

That would be awesome, however that's probably really really difficult to do, I can't see myself or anyone I know for that matter top the px-quality of Heroes 2. And the gameplay is pretty much nailed. The only thing I see that it needs is a better multiplayer, like sim-turns and a tech that works better on new comps.

Yeah those sprites are really insane! Pretty, pretty dragons!

Also, I agree the multiplayer is what needs to be fixed somehow. HOMM 6 had some good things going for them, such as being able to buy all your Units from any castle you control, thus removing the need of 20 "transport-unit-heroes", which was really stupid. There are some other stuff that really needs fixing gameplay-wise too, but boy do I love that game-series.

Agree with you there, Kikette! I've moved on from the texture but you're definitely right, needs more interest.

Here's another attempt at rock, think it came out too soft, might try and get some more prominent edge highlights to help reverse the soft look.

So I vectorized it

Randomly picked up two marble textures on google and colorized the vectorized art

I need to learn how to make better normal/bump maps.

I like some of the stuff you guys posted look like HQ work!

Made a optimized texture for a mobile game app.

Turns out it seems to be a bit overkill when it comes down to color blend.

Here's the shader layout looks like;

My first attempt in making tileable textures. I didn't make normal maps yet. Maybe i'll do them some time.

I'm satisfied with them for my 1st attempt, although i think they could be done a bit better.

You shouldn't use pictures with direct lighting information. It makes textures look really ugly and out of place ingame since the ingame lighting will probably never match the texture lighting

That's a good point. I'll keep that in mind for my next texture attempt

Just felt like I needed to share my newest creation. I'm pretty satisfied how this wallpaper turned out in the end.

Looks cool man. High res tho? 2048?

This. It isn't so hard to paint out the light on the photo though if you use the clone stamp carefully and paint over the dark areas slightly whilst leaving enough light information to look natural.

Usually lurking, but I flet like sharing this one today.
