WIP Cobblestone texture

Ognyan · Apr 2015

Hey guys,

I am currently working on a tiling cobblestone texture in Zbrush. The background plane is sort of a placeholder with some noise for now. I will add more detail and smallter stones in there

As you can see the stones at the top and bottom have not been worked on. I am going to swap those for some premade ones and add custom details later. Any C&C are welcome at this relatively early stage

Cheers!

Some progress

More work in progress. Testin it in Marmoset. Still need to do the textures and tweak the normal map.

looking good so far Ognyan. Did you use the 2.5D Canvas in Zbrush ?

Btw, Polycount should have a "show your unique textures" thread

Thanks MisterSande! I did not use the 2.5D canvas. I used an approach where I duplicate the stones at the edge of the texture and use the wrapmode set to 1 to make them tile. There are some tutorials describing the method floating around.
Thanks for the feedback

Kudos to the guys who took the time to make and share them!

Some tests in Unreal. Textures are still just placeholders. Lots of tweaking to do.

More progress...

it's starting to look quite nice

Ognyan · May 2015

Thanks man!

More tests:

Making some more progress. Need to add some variety in the space between the cobbles and work on the diffuse.

Experimenting with height:

maybe a bit soft but overall good work.

Ognyan · May 2015

Cheers mate. Point taken. I agree that some areas could use sharpening.

Ognyan · May 2015

Some experiments with blending. Polished the textures a bit. Normal and heightmap still need cleaning up:

More experimenting with vertex painting:

Ged · Jun 2015

very cool!

DanielR17 · Jun 2015

You did great! Maybe to my taste there are one or two stones that are too much not aligned with the others, if I may. But that's all.
I need to do something very similar and your thread is a good inspiration, thanks!

Ognyan · Jun 2015

Thanks guys! I appreciate it

Regarding the alignment these are not final and I agree that their placement can be polished.

Cheers
