totally random texture thread

[Steppenwolf]

dont use refs with sunshadows on it. it will always look weird ingame

[mike-0]

lol, it is the wall to my house

[csharp]

wtf, really weird wall at ur house

[mike-0]

my parents made a big deal about how protective the tiling is or something, i live near a beach, so we get hit by a little hurricane every year. Before we got the new siding, we'd lose the old ghetto wood siding and shit when one came by.

Feedback again please

I've made 2 versions now, an ordinary road and the one with damaged asphalt.

[st0lve]

it looks like a "backstage" cloth really.

and the stones in the asphalt are to big.

[DaanO]

Ok, i'll work on that

[Marcos]

Yeah, it almost look like you painted the asphalt on a paper with real painting and burned the edges(where the damage is), and then scan it heh. You should also add more visible edges on the sides

[Zacker]

That looks very wierd Dann0! How did you manage to get asphalt and ground that unrealistic? It is not like it is ugly or bad crafted, but it just don't look right to me.

[Captain P]

It's those dark area's. I suppose they represent wheel tracks? Anyway, they make the road look very bumpy so to say. Only the edges should be like that I think.

[DaanO]

I fixed that. I have to admit i had a hard time finding decent photo sources and i'm still far from happy with the ones i'm using. That might be the problem. I'm trying to combine hand painted stuff with some concrete photosources and this is what i ended up with. I still think it's not as bad as everybody is saying it is but i agree it looks weird. Time to get my own sources i guess

Oh and those black tracks have been fixed already

[Pericolos0]

it looks nice, i like the color variation

but

blurry blurry blurry. You can get twice the detail out of this, and also give some more feeling of depht at the edges

[DaanO]

Taking all feedback into account, i have fiddled with my texture. Thanks for the feedback again, people. I'm learning stuff much faster thanks to this and i'm enjoying it

In the newer version i

-fiddled with the color, contrast of the whole thing

-decreased the opacity of the car tracks

-added an overlay for the sides

-added cracks near the sides

-deleted small parts of the white stripes in the middle

-decreased the saturation on the base

-deleted a repeating pattern

[Tequila]

Massive improvement, I'd mess with the levels though to make it a bit darker.

[DaanO]

I'm gonna wait for a bit more feedback from people but i'm putting it on my list of things i'm gonna try so thanks
