Mansion Textures

[Renzatic]

Figured I'd go ahead and do a few since I came across some damn good Victorian wallpapers..

 

 

I need to get ahold of BT's textures so I can make sure they fit well together. The only problem I can see with these is that they're wallpapers, and will therefore look pretty damn dumb with a detailed normalmap. We'll probably have to rely on furniture and props in conjunction with these textures to keep the environs from looking too plain.

Geez, that's so totally neo-classical, maybe even Romantic era

Looking good though. I guess a normal would only need a very low profile to give it a thicker look.

[Renzatic]

Not so mansionish, but very Doory...

 

[Ishtvan]

Nice! For some reason it looks "Cathedral-esque" to me

[Renzatic]

The one on the left most definately. I'm thinking about converting the right into an indoor panel, though.

[Renzatic]

I've finished one more in the meantime, and have almost finished a 4th cept for one problem...

 

The trim along the arch is discolored.

 

And I have no idea how to fix it. Anyone got any advice?

Looking good!

the doors look good, but they're not game-ready. imho the colours aren't strong enough and there are still quite a lot reflections on them. (especially the left door wouldn't look very good ingame because the bright reflections all over the wood will make it look washed out)

 

 

edit - it's bit hard to explain, so I did it myself in PS to show you what I mean:

just rise the contrast and saturation (not sure if that's the right name - it's the thing you get, when pressing ctrl+u in PS) of the picture

 

 

you see the difference? of course it needs better tweaking and you have to remove the reflections on the metal dots by hand - that was just 10 seconds work to show you what I ment. sometimes it's hard for me to explain things like that in english

Renz: use burn and dodge to get rid of the dark bits, etc.

[Renzatic]

I've already tweaked the metal bits, I actually replaced em with the least reflective one on the texture so I could edit them a bit easier. I've also gone ahead and removed the shadows from the knockers as well, truth be told I'm thinking about getting rid of those altogether and using a model for them instead.

 

The wood door looks a helluva lot better.

[Renzatic]

 

It's hard as hell getting the highlights and shadows off the metal bolts, but I'm getting there.

[BlackThief]

looks already a hell of a lot better, but I'd make the right door even a bit darker.

[Renzatic]

Comeon, it's gotta look at least a little weatherworn.

[Renzatic]

I've gone ahead and uploaded the doors and wallpapers for everyone to mess around with an/or make normalmaps for (FANGERNAIL!). They're under textures/newset.rar

[Fingernail]

Will do when I get home...
