Texture Presentation

[Springheel]

It's just a regular brush. That thing in the center is actually a small window. I have a version that's lit coming up, but I noticed the normalmap seems to be reversed so I need to fix that first..

[Renzatic]

Nice door, Spring.

 

Hey BT, quick question...how did you do the moss on the bricks? Goldfish was wondering about it, and I figured I could do the same with my floorboards in the pagan map.

Hey BT, quick question...how did you do the moss on the bricks? Goldfish was wondering about it, and I figured I could do the same with my floorboards in the pagan map.

well pretty simple - googled for a high-res picture with moss and put it onto the bricks with the stamp tool

[Springheel]

Here's a decorative brick floor. Might be useful for outdoor areas surrounding the mansion.

 

[BlackThief]

looking good, but I think it'd look even better if you add some dirt

[Springheel]

I could, but then that limits it to only being used outside. I'd rather use decals for adding dirt and things to textures just to keep our options open.

[New Horizon]

Ahhhh, lets go for broke. Lets have a clean and dirty version.

[sparhawk]

Yeah. We should have most textures also in a dirty version as well. Cracks, stains, etc.

[BlackThief]

Didn't know where to post it since I'm not allowed to post in the beta-forum, so I write it here:

 

I have a problem with that texture tbh, it wont tile on the y axis there is a definate line where it repeats. But yes that could do with being smaller

 

just to clarify: that pavement texture isn't my favourite as well, but it definitely is tileable! just tested it again in PS - there's no problem at all. I'd like to see a screen of the problem though, maybe it's just the lighting.

I haven't tried tiling it, but just from looking at it in PS I immediately thought it wouldn't tile properly up and down. The bricks appear to be cut off slightly on the top (from memory).

[BlackThief]

it definitely isn't perfect, that's one reason I don't like it very much myself, but it tiles nevertheless does the beta-release include the other cobble-stone texture? if it does then I think he should use that one instead.

 

here's it in PS. there's one stone that's a bit cut-off, but you see it only when you're really close.

The release contains everything that was in CVS. I removed some stuff, but all the reorg textures are there. I only removed stuff that was old, or I not yet finished (like the AI stuff) and all the maps.

[BlackThief]

haha I totally forgot to tell you that I was in Strasbourg yesterday. a friend of mine, who owns a 6 mega-pixel Canon mirror reflex camera, was with me I think the results speak for their own:

...man I love those normalmaps (everything is just ONE single brush)

 

 

more textures from Strasbourg will follow....

Absolutely fantastic!

[Renzatic]

Oh mah gawd..that looks slick as hell.

 

I want a digital camera now.

[BlackThief]

thx.

 

I want a digital camera now.

well that wouldn't help that much in the US anyway you're simply lacking of nice, medieval buildings

[Renzatic]

Bah, I could still get some good textures here and there. Specially some nice victorian or steampunk based ones.

[New Horizon]

Whoa...those pics are simply stunning. We need more of that for sure.

[Macsen]

I made a few textures a while ago, gave them to Renz. I don't know where he put them. They have no normal maps yet I presume.

[Renzatic]

They're still around, Mac...but currently in normalmapping limbo.

[Macsen]

That's OK. I wasn't accusing you of throwing them discreetly off a bridge in a dirty bag. :lol:

 

The Bafford's one might be good for Demigod to have though.

[Fingernail]

My normal for this texture (BT's Strassbourg window) is at:

[BlackThief]

not bad - the windows have more depth now, but the lattice in front of the window doesn't fit properly to the diffusemap anymore.

 

made another framework texture - (you can see it on the right)

I think it'd be a good idea to replace this poor screen with the one above on our website

[New Horizon]

Looking great!

[Renzatic]

Is there any way you can clean up the lumpiness around the trim designs on the normalmap? It mars the diffuse texture up and makes it look a little weird.
