Big cube map pack

kodde

Hey guys,

I spent a fair amount of hours today downloading all environment packs from humus.name. I command line processed each and every one of them to a 1024px (at mip lvl 0), pre-blurred the mips (by mip initial filter angle of 3) and saved them as uncompressed A8R8G8B8 DDSs. I also compiled a preview-sheet with a thumbnail of each cube (the Z+ face) to easier find something suiting by general color/mood/lighting.

These cater directly to my Maya CGFX shaders as they have pre-blurred mips for altering reflection and ambient blur amount, but I'm fairly certain that others might find this useful as well.

As there are 89 cube maps in this pack and each of them is 32MB, even when compressed it's all together ~900MB. I decided not to host this on my site and instead try a "free download site". We'll see how it holds up.

Enjoy!

EDIT: The "bahnhof" links are through my ISP which allows me to host my own website. Apparently no traffic cap when I phoned them about it. We'll see. Use the 4shared if the bahnhof's don't work or are slow. There's also a torrent link you can use as well(thanks jramauri).

Jesse Moody

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing...

Clark Coots

wow thank you!

gametime

great, tho 900mb is heavy. maybe u can split it up into smaller packages.

cheers

kodde

You're welcome.

I'll see about chopping it up into bits.

EDIT:
I've chopped it up into 6 parts now. Uploading part by part, transfer speed is the limiting factor here. I'll keep updating post #1 as it progresses.

kodde

Finally finished uploading the last part. Enjoy.

NICE! Thank you!

kaze369

Damn son! Thanks!

Jenessay

Thanks! this is very cool!!!

FAT_CAP

Looks great Kodde!

Looks like we have to sign up to downolad these though? Or is there a way to download without giving away my precious e-mail address?

lol i actually did this a while ago, but only distributed it privately because i had some other strange/improper cubes i couldn't find the source for. they're sized down to 512, pre blurred etc and are 12mb each. they're totally fine for regular max/maya shader use, but anything more than that and you should probably do some work yourself.

the entire package is about 700mb and here it is if anyone wants it. the fh_hdri cubes are converted improperly and are mostly useless but some of them still look kinda cool so i kept them.

edit: just sourced down the studiocubes, they're from this guy's packs: http://zbyg.deviantart.com/art/HDRi-Pack-1-97402522?

kodde

You're welcome guys.

FAT_CAP> Oh I thought you could download without registration. Damn. If anyone knows of a better hosting solution then I can set it up there.

Racer445> Nice. Great minds think alike right?
Are your cubes other ones? Or also humus cubes?

jeremiah_bigley

I don't think the registration is that bad... you don't even have to confirm the registration. Email, password, go.

Nice job man! Really appreciate it.

Racer I had also converted those same hdrs a while back... lol

Ged

Oooh tempting but Im at work so I cant download big files due to a crappy network, might have to try from home, not keen on that sharing site but most of them seem a bit rubbish.

Sweet! Thanks for doing this

BertR

VictorSantos

Lazerus Reborn

Grabbed the torrent versions of them so i can download them with ease. An im signed up with Derp@hotmail.com. Silly registration system...

Thanks for all this Koddes!

gsokol

Awesome!

Ill have to grab these when I get home from work.

Thanks for putting these all together!

simplychen

if hosting becomes a problem with 4shared, you can probably try using mediafire as well. I heard they are pretty stable.

Alberto Rdrgz

big thumbs up! thanks!

[SF]Three9

I looooooove cubemaps, thanks so much man!

onionhead_o

Thanks Kodde. this is indeed some good stuff. can't believe this is free.

kodde

I solved a new primary download source, let's see if I get an angry call from my ISP or not

Nice to see so many people making use of this

onionhead_o> All thanks to humus.name who is kind enough to share all this source material to begin with.

MikeF

most awesome. thanks man

satrio

Love the Hornstull cubemap! You are the man, Kodde!

LoTekK

Well hot damn. Thanks a ton for this!

Patrick Svensson

Really sweet! Big thanks!

Gheromo

You are a star! Thanks

AsaNYC

Thanks a lot for putting these together for everyone!

JR

Any chance to up this as a torrent file? It would be much easier to share.

Ged

nice work thanks! havent used it or anything but Im sure they will come in handy one day.

kodde

You're welcome guys. Nice to see my work not being in vain.

jramurai> Feel free to do it if you are familiar with how. I am not I'm afraid.

melviso

Just polycount wikied cubemaps.Damn,I have so much to learn.Getting hang of the concept,thanks for sharing,Kodde.

sltrOlsson

Thank you very much! Cool stuffs!

JR

kodde: Thank you very much for the pack, it´s great!

I generated a torrent file, is here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wka1rtt8gcfbjyt

Those who have already downloaded can help to seed. Just create a directory called

koddes_humus.name_cube_map_pack_v1

And extract all files you have downloaded there. This is the directory structure of torrent.

kodde

Thanks guys, your welcome.

jramauri> Cool. I'll help seeding. Adding the torrent link to the #1 post as well.

Dim

Can anyone seed? I'm stuck at 83%.

kodde

I'm seeding now, but mine is still at 99.9% apparently. Guess we have to wait for jramauri.

Dim

Thanks man! I'm now at 97%

kodde

With my 99.9% you will get access to all the cube maps, the last 0.1& are readmes and the torrent file.

JR

Even mine is 99.9%, don't know why. Anyway, all maps are there.

kodde

wtf... jramauri how can that be? Aren't you the author of the torrent package? ^^

JR

Computers are like women. We'll never understand them completely.

But I deleted the torrent, donwloaded and started again, it's 100%. I'm finally a seeder of my own torrent

Now that we can be really seeders, I'd like to ask people to seed at least until your ratio is above 4. After all, Kodde and me have to turn off our computers some times.

Dim

Yeah, still not hitting 100%, but like jramauri and kodde said, all the maps seem to be there. Not the readmes though.

kodde

Exact same issue on my comp. Still on 99.9%.

JR

You can try the same I did: Delete torrent, without deleting contents. Then start torrent again, specifying the same folder used before. If you're using uTorrent, check the field "ignore hash". It should work now.

supaclueless

i got to 99.9% too...but testing so far all the cube maps are there already.

awesome job and thanks for teh maps kodde!

mayaman

You made my day... thanks dude!

Froyok

That's awesome !

I'm getting the torrent and will try to stay a good seeder !
