there is only the hint of an inside where the wall is broken on the corner. Yea I modeled it all first and then mapped it, but I don't think it was any slower because I always keep tweaking it as I go so I would have had to re-map thing constantly anyway. Dosen't really matter what company it was for cause I didn't get the job

but they have pirated skinemax

lol a few blank spaces yea. This was the first time I have really had to manage uv's like this, I'm used to using multiple maps and stuff like that so this was quite a trial. The unwrapping and arranging uv's took as much time as texturing the dang thing!

I wasn't told exactly how the ambient occlusion map is used by the game engine, but I'm guessing that it acts as a filter as to how much direct light to receive when lit, which probably looks pretty dang cool.

very awesome The ambient occlusion is rendered on a different map channel i presume? I need to figure out how to do that .

watch that. The ambient occlusion map was new to me too but it's such a cool thing to use wether you can actually use it as a map in the engine or you just bake it into the diffuse map, it really provides a nice effect. The only downside is that you can't have any overlapping uv's.

I will post a few more views in a bit I think.

this is a latin american shanty building I did for an art test. Specs and maps are listed in the pic. The hard shadows are rendered in maya.

guess that explains why so many people just left.

yea, it's easy to fill in the details in your head based on how well lit and just the feel of everything.

you can just grab the ones I posted . . . I can put up higher rez ones later if people want them. Making them tile wasn't that bad, just a lot of offset filters constantly back and forth when placing stuff. For the stone and cracked dirt ones I just worked on the clumps in the middle of the image, offset, then do more in the middle, then offset again whenever I had to adjust a certain part so it was in the middle and I could work on it. I did these all in photoshop with the pen and marquee tool.

yea, these are friggin rad, I wouldn't mind having prints of some of these puppies.

yea, feel free to use them in any non-commercial project

freakin awesome. I put this on devbump

Might be updating my entry too pretty soon, but not to GBX since I don't want to be too trendy.

this is probably way old school by now but I remember in vampire we used a sine function to animate a seafoam texture on planes to slide up and down the sand.

freakin awesome

it does seem like kind of a messy mashup. Someone posted it on devbump but the purpose of it isn't really clear cut.

welcome! Oh wait, I don't work at threewave.
