The random model thread!

In short: it's a shader that allows you to texture terrains for games without unwrapping and seamlessly.

That looks damn nice, I'm a big displacement fan.

Here's an entry I did for the 3dtotal speed sculpt competition. About 4 hours work on an anthropomorphic Rocko from Rocko's Modern Life

Also, the first person view of a lug wrench

I need to find out those keyboard shortcuts / manipulation techniques he is using.

THAT IS TOTALY AWSOME !

i am playing uncharted right now and they definitely use some sort source engine like blend texture transition between all their materials. and i was wondering how they get it to be so fucking seamless and so distortion free ... and what the work flow for that stuff would look like

and here you are answering the questions =D

Thank you so very much for sharing that harefort!

Call me a noob, but what do you do with it though? Do you get a model with a UV-map that you can use in a gameengine? Or does this method have to be built in to the level editing package? I have a hard time grasping how I would get the model and texture from the 3d-app ---> ingame.

Looks like an awesome method anyway. I could really have used something like that for the cave-level I'm making in UED3 right now >_<

It's a shader that you can implement in your game.

From 3Dsmax you get a mesh with vertexcolors, which you then import into your game and apply the shader to it.

The shader basically does the unwrapping at runtime, so you can deform the terrain at runtime in any way you wish.

Think Red Faction 3 or so.

Ah, thanks for enlightening me

A little lift I made, the final model was rendered in 3ds max. By the way, does anybody know how I can set up a glowmap in 3ds max? Right now I did paint the glow of the lights on the diffuse map, in d3 I would have a seperate texture for that. Couldn't figure out how this works in max

Paint a separate texture, open up the material editor, click on the little grey box next to "Self-Illumination" and pick your bitmap.

Nice model btw =)

Awesome stuff, one more image for my "Inpiration" folder!

great job as always BJA, you'r env art skills are evolving a lot!

[BJA]

Ah, thanks Mino that's what I was looking for

@HP: Thanks, but I still got a lot of things to learn.

[Sentura]

that lift is awesome bja. it makes me wanna pick up 3dsm again.

Small prop for my INS level.

Dear Mr. Minos, you forgot to tell us the tri count, the texture size's, wheter or not you used specs or normal maps, and if you did, you should post the texture sheets.
