Excellent work Daniel, even more so having it on Vita. I've been working with the Vita for the last few months and can appreciate the work to get environments looking that good and densely populated on it in frame.
How did you create the branch texture(TreeTopTexture) that you showcase on your portfolio?
Did you do that all in photoshop or did you model it out and bake to a plane?
If so is that the technique you used for all the plants and branches for the Uncharted game?
Thanks!
For all the texture work on my site I hand painted almost all of them after getting good normal maps from Zbrush. As for the "Branch Texture" That was all hand painted. I will tell you, doing it that way takes a lot of time. The better way is to do a mix of hand painted on a projected model that was baked from a high-rez. That way you can get a kickn' normal map. Maybe in the coming months, if I have the time, I'll post step by step how to make a plant like that
So what you would do is model the branch completely to bake a normal map to a flat plane then take that into photoshop to texture using the normal map.
I always wondered because a lot of the leaf textures in the environments of all the Uncharted games have leaves that are facing in all different directions. VERY hard to hand paint or manipulate photo sources to get that effect.

Awesome work nonetheless.

Hope that helps for now
Really awesome work. Love the color usage in the plants. Definitely do up a walkthrough on plant creation. Love to see that!
Yes this is from the PSVista
I have enjoyed indeed, looks amazing

Thanks for the info.
