T2 Style Wood-textures

[BlackThief]

Ok I'll present my T2 style wood-textures in this thread, cauze the presentation-thread is getting a bit too cramped.

 

I started today creating a wooden-wall-paneling in blender. Acutally I wanted to render it, but it didn't work for some reason (the object was always pitch black in the render-window, eventhough a light was directly in front of it). So I took the unrendered one and made the normalmap in PS. I think the result isn't bad afterall:

this was inspired by these two beautiful T2-textures:

Not bad, BT. I notice the one side is a little darker than the other, giving that tiling effect. Is that intentional?

[BlackThief]

also noticed that ingame, but doesn't seem to be the texture - here's a screen out of the editor:

It's visible there too, just not as obviously. The left side of the panel is definitely darker than the right side.

[BlackThief]

ah, ok now I know what you mean. you're right - I've to fix that.

I first thought you meant that the upper part is darker than the lower part.

Your T2 stylings are unmatched BT. I'm simply in love with them.

made a classic T2 style door texture today (thx oDDity for helping me with the normalmap). however I'm still not 100% satisfied, how it turns out ingame

Hmm, some constructive critisicm, the design is very good, but compared to the wood around it, it looks kind of dull in color and kinda flat. Possibly the normal map needs to be deeper?

[Springheel]

Something I hadn't thought of before now, but should we be putting hinges onto these textures? The handle I assume will be a model.

yeah - I already thought about the same - but if we add them to the texture, then we need hinges on a "door-frame-texture" as well, so that it fits.

 

@gimg yeah I also noticed that the wood doesn't turn out very good ingame. however I'm not sure what's the reason. IMHO it looks much better in PS....

If we do hinges, then this will affect how they can be placed in a map.

well it depens on, how we implement it. btw you can mirror the textures in D3, so you should still be able to place to door into the map, how you want it.

[Springheel]

Yeah, you can mirror the texture, so that's no problem. I think we can get away with not having them on the doorframe, as that's quite small. It's not a crucial thing at all...I'm pretty sure the doors in T1/2 didn't have them. Some in T3 did, but I don't know about all. Just a thought.

here's a versailles parquet, like in T2

another wood-wall texture in T2 style. this time a bit more stained

[BlackThief]

of course this could also be used as a trim

Hey, what are you doing with the lighting in this scene? Those are perfect shadows.

 

edit: er, the other scene above with the desk. The trim looks great!

what's so special about the lighting ? it's just one lightsource...

[New Horizon]

Wow, these T2 style textures look amazing. Great work BT.

[god_is_my_goldfish]

Keep 'em coming, they look excellent.

[Springheel]

The shadows of the desk aren't completely black. You can see the trim even in the shadow. It looks to me like you have some kind of ambient light as well. Thats the one thing that bugs me about the D3 renderer is the harsh shadows. But that picture looks perfect.

[Fingernail]

ambient light is easy to set up, and looks alright. Just a large light, the right shader, no shadows, specular or bump and a very low RGB level.

great works

worked on another trim-texture inspired by this T2 trim-texture:

here's it in D3

to be honest it turned out better (regarding depth and 3d feel), than I expected
