zBrush/dDo Tiling textures and meshes

shrogg

Hi all, just thought I may setup a thread for me to post my tiling textures in to get some feedback.

The workflow i use is pretty basic, goes like this:

1. zBrush High poly sculpt (Or maya bake if hard surface)
2. Render our Normal and Height maps (And ID map if in maya)
3. Use Knald to extract AO, Concavity and Convexity from Normal map
4. Bring all maps into dDo, use custom material setups to quickly achive a base look then make small changes
5. Bake out maps from dDo then touch up diffuse and spec in photoshop.
6. Bake height/Displacement into a flat plane then use Mayas reduce tool to get a nice low poly mesh.
7. Touch up mesh to make it tile in X and Z
8. Use bend deformer to make a tiling mesh

Here are some metal textures made for kitbashing

Spent the last hour putting together a block wall texture, Looking good so far however it does need a few touch ups in some areas

Great looking textures Shrogg. I do see some seams, especially apparent in your second rock texture.

Btw, Have you tried out my method yet for the tiling textures ?

Thanks!

Second rock is actually seamless, Just that mesh was badly done (UV was slightly off) and I think Maya has been displaying Normals all wonky for me.

And no, not yet. Been super busy trying to land a job However I will definitely give it a shot once I am more free with my time!
