interior texturing = unique texture map per wall?

ivaanoz

I know the common workflow for texturing interiors is using tileble textures with combination of decals/alphas, but hypotetically speaking, if you would HAVE TO use one texture for one wall of squarish living-room type of an interior (so four big textures in total), what texture size would you use for best quality in regards to today's production standards? It's a first person game. Also, do you know any games that are using this kind of texturing approach for their interiors?

I wouldn't. Unless I was using Rage technology. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/MultiTexture#Megatexture

For all other games, I'd use tiling textures and texture blending, period.

Eric: OK and technically, do you think it is possible? (without using Rage technology)

I think some or many engines have troubles with textures over 8k. So, that or lower.

Is there some technical reason this needs to be a single texture?

ivaanoz

alright and what is today standard for tileble interior texture size?
