Cobblestone PBR

Shuaws

Hey guys I worked on this tileable texture and this is my first PBR texture let me know what you guys think.

Ged

looks good, get some more interesting lighting on it as its hard to tell if its working nicely

Shuaws

Alright when I get home I'll try some other lighting in marmoset

Shuaws

Heres two more screenshots with different lighting

Ged

cool, by interesting lighting I meant like this https://www.artstation.com/artwork/pbr-wood-floor-material-study

it still looks very flat, place some omni lights around the mesh in toolbag to get some specular highlights and show off the materials and depth in the normal map.

WarrenM

Yeah, what Ged is getting at is that the flat lighting you're using isn't doing anything to bring out your normal or roughness work. This could be a non-PBR material at the moment. It's hard to tell it even has a normal map in the current lighting set up.

Shuaws

Ok I see what your saying, to be honest this was an older texture im just trying to convert it to PBR now should I be doing certain things, i was reading up on the marmoset website on converting old textures and trying to apply it here

Chimp

it's not the lighting, those IBL boxes are totally fine, its a lack of specular/gloss interest

Fwap

Can we see some texture flats?

Shuaws

Here are the flats and some omni lights

Norm/Alb/Rough and just used black for the metalness

Ged

ah thats better looks a bit wet and slick now but at least we can see the height, normals could be better if they had different heights/slants per stone tile rather than all being pretty much flat.

Shuaws

Hmm ok ill try rebaking the normals. Do you know of any other way of tweeking the normal without rebake?

WarrenM

Rebaking is the way to go. Anything else is going to result in an inefficient workflow.
