totally random texture thread

[ElectroSheep]

Hey, I just made a stonefloor texture with some photos like this I took :

http://www.mineralit...go/DSCF0256.JPG

I put it on csgo with a blend mask :

Unfortunatly I made spec maps but we can't use them with a blending shader

Looks nice ! But under the snow, does the pepples aren't supposed to be wet (darker in that case because you can't use spec you said) ?

[ElectroSheep]

Yeah, it could be cool if there were a wet transition ^^

Are you using WorldVertexTransition? If you are, you can use $normalmapalphaenvmapmask 1.

Example from l4d2:

WorldVertexTransition

{

$basetexture "concrete/blacktop_ext_01"

$basetexture2 "concrete/blacktop_ext_02"

$ssbump 1

$bumpmap "concrete/blacktop_ext_01_height-ssbump"

$SSBumpMathFix 1

$surfaceprop concrete

$surfaceprop2 concrete

$envmap env_cubemap

$normalmapalphaenvmapmask 1

$envmaptint "[.1 .1 .1]"

"%keywords" l4d2

}

For some reason, they use "LightmappedGeneric" for blend texture now in csgo, but it looks the same as "WorldVertexTransition".

Also, $normalmapalphaenvmapmask works but kill the blendmodulatetexture

My material :

LightmappedGeneric

{

$basetexture2 "de_summitStoneFloor01_diff"

$bumpmap2 "de_summitStoneFloor01_nmap"

$surfaceprop2 "stone"

$basetexture "de_summitSnow01_diff"

$bumpmap "de_summitSnow01_nmap"

$surfaceprop "snow"

$blendmodulatetexture "de_summitStoneToSnow_blend"

$envmap env_cubemap

$normalmapalphaenvmapmask 1

$envmapcontrast 1

$envmapsaturation ".5"

$envmaptint "[.1 .1 .1]"

"%keywords" 3Dnj

}

Try $envmapmask

It should work with blendmodulatetexture according to this

• Incompatible with $normalmapalphaenvmapmask (use $envmapmask instead).

Lol, I was on this page early but I didn't see that : Incompatible with $normalmapalphaenvmapmask (use $envmapmask instead).

I will try this thanks.

Well this sort of has to do with texturing

I found that when photosampling for tiles, I got a good result by taking a whole bunch of random squares in the image to break up some of the coherent details. This would take a long time for textures with a whole lot of tiles, so I wrote a tool to do all of it for me. You could even use it for bricks (or anything square-like.)

This is a good test case: (clearly not a production texture, just as a test)

[Kedhrin]

can you share the tool

[⌐■_■]

yes please

[kikette]

Sounds really cool !

[keres]

Absolutely I plan on doing some more work on it today, including adding a little GUI with Qt. I'll see where it can be uploaded after that is done.

Edit: Screw Qt. I tried all this morning to get both 4.x and 5.x running with vs2010/2012 and mingw to no avail.

Edit again: it's a command line tool. Nothing wrong with that! Windows build is good to go, and I plan on compiling the mac version either late tonight or early tomorrow and then I'll upload it all in one zip.

You can download it here on sourceforge:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/batchsampler/

The source code (released under WTFPL, probably the most flexible license ever) is also available if you aren't faint of heart

I made the following texture this morning with the tool I made in just a matter of minutes

It's not my best work, but it's definitely something that would have taken me longer than thirty minutes.

Now to write a tool that generates a grid of rectangles of arbitrary shades...

[PogoP]

Nice idea
