totally random texture thread

yeah looks sorta like some of the techniques of http://www.debevec.org/ ...

not completely sure, but still is amazing

Thanks

Ah... yes, the results are quite alike. However, the methods differ alot. For instance, Debevec makes use of equipment worth great sums of money and big studios, my method makes use of a cheap digital camera and nothing more. Also, I'm quite excited about the new addition. It is a program that reads any displacement/height/bump/whatever-you-want-to-call-it map and calculates a well structured model of it.

This can of course be applied to more than photographically generated displacement maps. With this tool you can for example simply paint structures that are complex to model and then convert the texture information to a model with a highly tailor-made structure.

philippK how do you render such pictures in the viewport? are theese shots from the 3dsmax viewport using a dx9 shader? ( http://philipk.net/other/rockymountains.jpg )

Not bad, but there's a little repetition there that's obvious which kills the illusion of having a seamless surface.

ehh its for a short wall and isnt going to be tiled too much, maybe twice, three times at most..

Doesn't matter, what he means is that your texture has repeating parts, which is a waste.

hmmm now i get his point, i dont think the texture is completely lost, i will try to get rid of those cloned spots. seems to be mainly located in the center and a tiny bit to the left. its still a wip so i can salvage it so dont call it a waste

[D3ads]

It seems a bit pointless making it that long too, 512 is fair enough but 1024's too much unless you completely get rid of all repetition

A half days work so far, no normal map for this one but I think it can stand on its own two legs.

he looks like the deer i hit last year

seriously tho thats awesome work

[TeddyBear]

Thanks

Just a small update before I go to school:

holy shizzle that looks quite amazingly scary there Teddy! too bad i cant see the last screenie but this is really making me anctious!

[TeddyBear]

Thanks alot killertomato! I've had a very good friend of mine here tonight, he let me do some scans of his face and body. Here is some material of this night's experimental harvest:

lol still looking really amazing teddy. Cant wait to test it out for myself
