Texture Presentation

[Domarius]

No critisism here - I just couldn't help myself from posting about how awesome these textures are looking. This normal map stuff looks mind-blowing...

next texture: a new wooden door:

 

[Springheel]

Ooo, nice and thiefy, if we can get rid of the crack.

[Fingernail]

The crack adds niceness, but I admit, on all doors it would get a bit repeated because it's too distinctive.

Agreed. Sounds like two versions of the door are in order. Awesome work by the way.

[Renzatic]

 

Uncracked!

that's what I thought. the uncracked version looks great renz

[New Horizon]

Ahhh, great job. Best of both worlds. I've been downloading Doom 3 Editor Video tutorials like mad. I really want to learn this sucker and put these amazing textures to work. I should have some source photos to show sometime this week. I don't know if they will be any good, but here's hoping. I took pictures of some walls, doors and windows.

[Renzatic]

lol, the clone stamp tool is my friend.

[Renzatic]

The uncracked version is now ingame!

 

It could use some touching up here and there, and the specularmap is really rough, but this is more or less how the finished version will look.

Lovely.

[BlackThief]

a simple wood-texture, if we have to, we can still reduce the size to 512 later.

 

 

already tested it in T3:

a Builder Stainglass. I'm not sure if we can keep the hammer like that, cauze the shape is very similar to the thief one..

one thing to the door texture up a few posts:

 

try to avoid the "natural" highlight, i mean that the door is brighter on the top end than it is on the lower end.

 

it will look strange in the game especially to people like me who have an eye for it.

 

persective and slightly not down straight 90 degree angles do also look strange, for this case use the arbitary tool in photoshop

I read a tutorial about how to do this really easily. Too bad I can't remember where it is. The key words are "photoshop" and "high" and "low" and "frequencies"

 

Basically you ran a "remove high frequencies" filter on the image. Or was it low frequencies? I can't remember. Basically, one makes it really blurry, but the other seems to remove all the "shading" kind of tone data, so if you have a picture of a sign with a highlight or darkened corner, the sign actually becomes uniform in colour, as if it was evenly lit. It doesn't work for all pictures, but it can save you a lot of airbrushing when it does!

[Fjonan]

got a way:

 

Layer - > New Adjustment Layer - > Brightness/ Contrast

 

than add to this layer a Gradient in the direction you need to fix the highlights (in our door example a gradiant black from top to white at bottom)

 

now add to both layer a Filter - > Offset

 

so that the bottom line is next to the top line

 

adjust the brightness / contrast

 

add to both layers a Filter - > Offset with the same count as last time multiplied with -1

new window texture

 

I'm pretty proud that it looks very similar to the thief 2 texture. It was a lot of work, about 90% of it are drawn by "hand", but I think the work was worth it

 

 

and here the thief 2 texture:

 

test in thief 3:

 

can't wait to see it with a specular map on it

2 trims I've made in the past two days:

 

 

 

The 2nd texture should be smaller in the final version - but as long as some people might want to tweak it, we shouldn't resize it.

[New Horizon]

As always Blackthief, beautiful work. I wish I could contribute in some way to the textures as well. Hopefully I can learn.

[Renzatic]

Oooh, purdy. Got em saved in my WIP texture folder.

[BlackThief]

neeew texture was a lot of work - but I think it was worth it.

 

[BlackThief]
