eX textures release

not to crap on your hot dogs here but, if they're for quake 4 shouldn't they be devoid completely of highlights and shadows? You know, for the normal maps...

great set eve,

cant wait for you new one

For best results in Doom3 tech you should place light shadowing and even lighter highlights (keeping in mind the placement and use of the object or texture you're making. IE: if you're making a stationary standalone object you can certainly use more highlights and shadow since the object will always be standing).

Highlights and shadow on a normal-mapped item only exist to emphasize existing shadow and light and to increase contrast on the over-all skin/texture.

That being said, nice set, Eve.

too much blue =)

I wish that they would look that awsome in Source, cause the "plain" .tgas are boring, and hell, I do not want the crap with adding normal maps for every single texture...

This texture set reminds me of your e4, e5 and e6 sets, which was great

Great work Yves.

I fiddled around with these; they look pretty spiffy in-game.

Actually, I don't think it would be that difficult. Maybe slightly time-consuming, plugging in all the filenames and configuring the material properties, but it wouldn't be too bad. Heck, I'll do it if no one else will!

Great job =)

Spacer already did that with his Fortress forever map, that's how evillair appeared on here after IR probably told him about the praise he was getting.

Textures are awesome btw

Oops, guess I should check the boards more often. Well then, I think Spacer should consider uploading the pack for public consumption!

I've converted them as well, although I'm not quite sure that the .vmt file settings are the best. Also, I messed up the alpha-textures.

Here's a typical vmt file :

"lightmappedgeneric" {

"$basetexture" "evillair\eX_floor_tile_03_d"

"$bumpmap" "evillair\eX_floor_tile_03_normal"

"$envmapmask" "evillair\eX_floor_tile_03_s"

"$envmapcontrast" 0.500000

"$envmap" "env_cubemap"

"$envmaptint" "[ 0.5020 0.5020 0.5020 ]"

"$surfaceprop" "metal"

}

Well sir you best get on top of your game! lol jk

I would be interested to see the style you would incoprate in your usual "sci-fi" themed textured if you were to do a HL2 set... seeing how the textures would have to be approached in a different way to complement the source engine.

source not having realtime preview of specular and normal maps inside the editor makes it very painful to create custom materials on that engine... *stays far away from source*

/me gets closer to klein

Actually, there's specular preview in the editor. Not for normal maps though, since there's no lightmap view.

well you'd kinda need both
