building facade texture

[clayman]

made a building facade, here's the PSD: http://www.clayman.se/Facade004b.zip

and due to requests for a tutorial check this out instead. I dont really have time to write a tutorial right now, busy with the portfolio thingy i hope this will do it..

if this gives you any perspective on how i work, i happy =)

if any questions whatsoever, let me know.

the texture isnt 100% finished, do whatever you want with it, i dont care

Looks great

Thanks for the PSD. It really helps us NooBs to understand the proess you pro do to create a texture.

PS:

If you have anymore I could take a look at that would be A1.

DiD you model ti first and then render out a light map.

Whats your 3D app

I made a mesh in Maya, and used that mesh for my normalmap, occlusion and heightmap..

Just made a cheaper version of your impresive building texture mate.

Thanks for the .psd file !

occlusion thats the white texture with shadow detail in it? I only have max7 is there anyway I can do occlusion or something close ?

[clayman]

yeah thats the layer in PS, yes you can get same result in max, if not even better.. i dont use max that much myself, but check google for tutorials in max on how to bake occlusion or "shadow maps" as its called.. search google for "3ds max occlusion tutorial" or something like that, and you will find it...

or check http://www.tutorialized.com, you might find it there

cheers

press 0

[p2xelgen]

I'm sure there's no way of making an occlusion map in max 7...

[Rick_D]

if you can't render to texture then no. Upgrade to max 9 or 2008. Using max 7 is like using photoshop 5.

I just cracked it:

I'm the happest man on the planet.

I've been trying to learn how to create Ambient Occlusion, using max 07. Yaaaaaa and finally I have cracked it. This will help me light models and texture a 100 folds better.

So here it is: Not much ha

Peris thought us that technique a long, long time ago. I just refer to it as a light map.

nice fonfa, thats cool, i really dont care about file size although the psd file should be kept nice and simple when i work i dont look at that, i try to put that focus on the texture itself instead :P

but hey, nice to se you have your eyes open

p2xelgen thats lookin cool crank up those parameters so you loose the noise in the render =)
