Wall rounded edges like in P.T.

DennG · Jan 2015

Hi folks,

I just wanted to know how I can achieve rounded edges like in this screenshot of P.T.:

I can't imagine that it's only the texture. It's looking good from all angles.
Maybe a little bit of beveling?

Furthermore I wanted to know how create the detail on the edges, when I'm working with tiled textures.
Is this even possible when using tiling textures?

best regards
Dennis

ps. programs I'm working with: blender,xnormal,ps,quixel suite,unity5

Texturing:
I can imagine this:

Model:
Probably a simple supporting or bevel.

Beveled edge + Alpha texture on duplicated geometry on above the edge.

Follow the guy above me's link, maybe read this too. (Cryengine but should apply to most engines)

I was thinking a bit more on this, and here a are a few more answers. Yes, it can be done with tileable texture. Also, depending on the engine/shader, you could blend different textures together, so then you dont need extra planes and alpha technique. Then you would use the tileable texture for the wall, and you would blend the damages to on top of that, based on a second uv channel. Its quite the same thing visually as what you can see in the link, just it doesnt use transparency, but a lerp between 2 or more textures.

Maybe you could do it with a decal as well.
