Texture workflow for Virtual Texturing

ScoobyDoofus

I'm trying to find a good production solution to paint unique diff/norm/spec details/stamps onto an existing environment textured with tiled materials.
Very much like Rage, by id, I'm looking to create a uniquely textured environment using Virtual Texturing.

I've tried 3D Coat, which I own, but it has some limitations and doesn't play nicely with very high res files...

I tried Mari, but couldn't figure the app out well enough to even test painting all 3 channels at once.

Any ideas or suggestions?

For virtual texturing, you'll definitely want to use Mari. It deals with very large data sets way better than anything else on the market.

you should take your time then to figure out mari, most definitely. i don't think you have any real alternative for this. i hope you have the computer to match.

the tilebased workflow can be used in mudbox as well but there you are severly limited by the memory of your graphics card and also the projection tools are probably not what you'd want for environment work.
