Awesome thanks a bunch.

AlexLeighton

That's really awesome, I thought you just had to manually tinker with a post process material to try and get a close enough match to your Photoshop visuals, this will save me a LOT of time, thanks a bunch!!

Strkl

Wow ! I'm totally astonished by that LUT feature *_*

Ace-Angel

Fucking ACE! I always wondered how people managed LUT, thanks!

Oniram

Glad you all like it. I thought i was a bit late to the party when i learned it but as it turns out i guess its not such an uncommon thing for people to not know. glad to help.

odd_enough

Thanks for the tutorials!

I have been building up a personal library of LUTs lately. Had this bright idea to use After Effects and the Magic Bullet/Colorista color grading plug-ins to have some fun with it. Was thinking once I have enough of them, I might make them available to download for use as presets.

LUTs were a fantastic realization after having spent too much time getting mad at the manual color grading inputs in the editor.

Fantastic tut Sean, that LUT shit was boss as fuck!

Quack!

Lut is going to be infinitely useful for our current project, great stuff.

Jesse Moody

Yeah LUT is awesome Sean you unleashed it for everyone lol .... Nicely done.. Broke it down about as simple as it really is to do.

Such a powerful option too as you can drastically change things very quickly

Seirei

Yeah the LUT one blew my mind! It's so simple and easy, yet it has such a gread effect on the overall scene. Thanks for that!

Oniram

thanks everyone. it means a lot to me that these are actually being seen as something useful. the first video mind you is more of just a demo but it will have a tutorial soon. i hope to have quite a few more mini tutorials of fairly common yet overlooked things such as the LUT in the future.

CHON

Thanks a lot for the LUT very useful !!

Alberto Rdrgz

ah badass!

pinkbox

cheers for taking the time to make these! much appreciated

chrisavigni

Killer!

SirCalalot

Thanks @Oniram!
You have a good tutorial voice :P

mixeh

i know it's not the focus of the tutorial, but will you be showing how you created the tilable stone texture?

Oniram

cheers everyone.

@SirCalalot: thanks. a lot of friends used to tell me i should go into radio. lol

@mixeh: thats already done. theres a thread with all those vids. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95166 however if you're referring to the specific rock wall from that video, no. unfortunately i wont be showing how i did that. it was pretty much a quick 1 hour doodle while i had some down time at work. and i thought it worked better than my current stone (from the full tut) for a test demo. that is just a quick demo showing what im going to try and achieve for the last video (give it about 2 weeks for that one to be up). the final vid will walk through that process from start to finish.

mixeh

oh that's a shame... i'm not really sure what you mean by the full process? that won't include the creation of the specific rock texture from this tutorial will it?

i actually love that result from your quick doodle, don't know if there's any decent tilable rock tutorials out there

Oniram

full process as in creating the material. blending a 2nd texture (snow/sand/moss) by vert painting and upvector blending. utilizing dx11 features.. and general other material things. if you're looking for tileable rock wall guidance, id say take a look here.

the tut from bobby rice that he links is probably the best one ive seen as far as zbrush rocks n things go. i think he's made that pretty standard for most environment/texture artists who use zbrush

Autocon

Cant wait to see your break down on how you achieved the vertex blending of tessellation. I find that really quite interesting and had been hoping that would be possible but wasnt sure. Hope the tut comes out soon and will need to get a DX11 card to mess around with it

Oniram

Its surprisingly a lot easier than it seems. though because i did go about it in a super simple manner, that could be why im having issues. ill try out some other methods but regardless of whether or not i figure it out, ill still show it.
