Texture Presentation

[Renzatic]

What do you mean by a gradiant?

Gradiants are greyscale images that go from black to white in small steps..there's a load of em in PS.

[Springheel]

Ok...I know what the definition is, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean in this sense. How would I decide where to put them? Do you mean around the edges of the wooden frames? I think I might need an example.

[BlackThief]

the greyscale image defines, which parts are "low" and which parts of the texture are "higher". for example the brighter the greyscale the higher the normalmap. You can send me the texture and I'll do the heightmap, that shouldn't be too hard.

[Springheel]

Here's a jpg version...

 

[BlackThief]

don't forget to resize the diffuse to 512x512

 

here's the heightmap:

Thanks BT, it looks much better now.

 

Here's another decorative mansion texture:

Textues in doom can be any size you want. 765x542 if you like.

BTW, I think you should be texturing full time SH)

not really. you can load these textures, but they'll look like shit ingame.

[oDDity]

Well I'm talkig about model textures here, they look just the same in game. Never tried it with brush textures, but I can''t see how they'd look any different.

[New Horizon]

Yeah Spring, your textures are gorgeous!

[Springheel]

I know D3 compresses any textures that aren't in powers of 2 with GUI graphics, and apparently it's the same for brush textures. So anything not at a power of 2 gets stretched or compressed by the engine and looks pixelated.

[Renzatic]

I like em, Spring. Keep em coming.

[Springheel]

Ok, here's a mansion floor reminiscent of T2:

 

 

Not sure if maybe the spec should be brightened a bit.

 

(btw, I'm getting weird pixel distortion in the editor recently while I'm looking at maps...white and red pixels appearing and disappearing as I look around. Anyone have a guess at why?)

[BlackThief]

looks great

 

made another brick-texture + normalmap

 

(actually it's the normalmap of the other brick-texture. I just adjusted it for the new texture and the result looks ok, doesn't it? )

That kinda sounds like z-fighting. Do you have 2 brushes sharing the same space?

 

By the way...I want that rug.

Here's two others:

 

 

[BlackThief]

the whole thing with a bit moss on it. maybe you can use that for your pagan environment, Renz.

[Springheel]

Awesome!

[New Horizon]

Yes! Now that's the stuff! Great work guys.

[sparhawk]

Cool! I hope we see soon some map with our textures.

[Renzatic]

That's awesome as usual, BT...I can definately find a use for that.

[Springheel]

Here's a new, more victorian style door for the wealthier parts of the city:

 

[Ishtvan]

Wow, awesome door. Is that central knocker thing part of the model, or is that a normalmap?
