Texture Presentation

[BlackThief]

The lit versions of the windows, have a painted light in it, don't they? Or did you make them partially transparent and place a lightsource behind it?

 

But seeing the other shot on the outside walls, they look good. It's just strange to have these inside a room.

yes, the light is faked, but the yellow color is constand all over the texture - the brighter parts are lit up, by a lightsource, that is placed in front of the window.

OK. I thought that the lightsource has been painted into the texture itself.

NH asked me for a cobblestone texture - of course this is crying for a normalmap, but I couldn't push myself to create on yet. maybe DeepOmega could help, but I gues it'd be also quite annoying to model this.

Ahhh, thanks BT.

[sparhawk]

Looks really good. And on first sight it doesn't even look repetitive.

[SneaksieDave]

Oh shit, that's the stuff! Very nice.

[pakmannen]

Very nice indeed! Great work (as usual)

[Ishtvan]

Nice!

Hey there BT, any luck with that second T2 style cobblestone I troubled you with? Just wondering if you have had time to look at it.

[BlackThief]

yeah I tried to make a similar high-res version, unfortunately without success yet.

No worries. As time permits.

Those cobbles lok grat)

Is it possible to add straw and stuff with permenant decals over the top?

[Springheel]

Yeah, it's not too difficult to use decals to add dirt, straw, or other details.

Here's my contribution to the cobblestone collection....

 

 

A modeled normalmap would probably look better, this one is just from the nvidia plugin.

 

(Btw, BT, is there a trick to selecting the ground in the citytest map? All I got was a weird red colour when I tried it)

[New Horizon]

Looks awesome!

[Fingernail]

the red indicates that it is selected...

[Springheel]

Hmmm...nothing would show up on the ground in the citytest map. It was just black, even when I tried dropping in other random textures. Weird.

The editor definitely has more than it's share of problems. Many times, I can't change a texture or create a model - or at least it can't be seen visibly - until I save the work, reopen the editor, and reload the map. Then suddenly everything works. That is, if it didn't crash out, first.

[Ishtvan]

I heard you have to clone models aftr you place them to get them to display right?

[SneaksieDave]

Is that it? I shall have to try that.

[Dram]

well, with the models it works even if you don't clone them. Just that the editor has a fag and says it won't show it in there. But it does appear in-game.

don't despair NH your cobblestone-texture is on its way - a couple of hours and it should be finished

Thanks BT!! Very much appreciated.

[BlackThief]

ok first version ingame (without normalmap yet) - unfortunately I noticed, that the thief 2 texture has one great difference - the cobbles were actually brighter than the gravel (or whatever you call it) around it. my texture is the other way round and the cobbles aren't that tight. of course I can overwork this, without a problem - it's just time consuming

I think that looks fab. I don't think it needs changing really. Though as cobble stone it probably does, but it's excellent for the pebble roads and whatnot.
