totally random texture thread

an attempt to paint ground:

something looks wrong.. stones like glass diamonds

[clayman]

thats the high spec

[Sindwiller]

So, that's... handpainted, right? Hardcore...

[Synthesizer]

Hmm, it doesn't look very natural, perhaps some smaller stones, like gravel, would help it out a bit.

[jaboo224]

needs more philk ;D

jk clayman. great job!

[KoKo5oVaR]

Yeah. i could do the same if i was working in the same company as philipK !!

Pretty sweet job clayman, the spec is indeed too strong but that's just a mean of tweakage. Which soft did you used to model and paint those rocks ? zbrush ?

[clayman]

thanx for the comments i only look to get better

KoKo5oVaR, first i made the stones in maya, i made a MEL script that randomizes my stones in size, position and rotation, so i did that to 5 stone models, and just copied them up..

i placed them on a plane, and added a diffuse to the stones and a different one to the plane, so i could bake my diffuse, alpha, normalmap and occlusion..

and then i just put it all together in photoshop.. =) this psd will be avalable on my site when im done with it..

Synthesizer, thanx for the comments its unnatural because i didnt put more work in the actual stones, my mesh in maya was about 1 milion polys, so that had to do it but i agree, more variations and smaller stones would make it look better, i will try creating the normals for the stones in photoshop

cheers

Here's my entry for a speed texturing contest at game-artist.net:

Looks nice, but the wooden part looks a bit odd, I've never come across a design like that before...

[Synthesizer]

I think it works, but maybe you could push the middle design out to the borders and get rid of the square just behind them, to get rid of the light on dark corner, which sort of looks like a baking error. I really like the pattern on the wallpaper.

Yeah agreed But I know why it looks weird, I put all the faces of the square in the same smoothing group. I'll rebake the normal and hopefully fix it.

[Minos]

Alright I modified the design a bit so it makes more sense (it lost some sharpness cause I scaled them down to 512, which is what I'm gonna use ingame)

[Psyshokiller]

I think the wallpaper could use a tiny bit of more contrast or saturation.

The wooden part looks like carved out of a single piece of wood, maybe you can give it a more coherent look by adding some kind of trim along the horizontal and vertial lines bewtween those squares.

Nice idea
