Hi all, So first of all I hope this is the right thread to post the two questions that I have. These questions relate to Environment and Prop Artist work. Okay so my first question is which website do you all use for your textures to get high quality textures? Is their a website that has high quality texture images, or…
@rexo12 Ooooo true it probably would be easier to just make a height map for some of these more complicated shapes. Wonder how well they'd work with such a small texture size 🤔 @iam717 Yeah definitely agree, think I've been staring at it too long to notice. I've got space on the sheet to break it up, will definitely fiddle…
Hey its my first post here. Hope this guide will help yall ! Couple of months ago when i started playing with Ue4 i was obsessed with terrain mesh blending. So i started searching but couldnt find any tutorial on how to do it. After some search time and experimenting i finally found a solution. It was already there but i…
When creating textures for a game environment, I understand a lot of objects get independent textures (IE Weapons,Characters,etc) but I was wondering when I should SHARE the textures. Is that just when creating large buildings that use the largest textures? Or is it in general, IE this small lamp should try and share the…
Hello there. I did search for a similiar topic, found none. I am mainly a texture artist, i make both environment stuff and model textures. i do have some experience in concept art and basic game prop modeling, but compared to those my texture experience and workflow are much better. However during the time when i was…
Hi, I have done a project for uni which involves creating some hand painted tile-able textures using 2 different methods. The first is just painting the texture the normal way in Photoshop, and the second is using Zbrush, or any other sculpting software to create the 3D sculpt of a texture, then baking out the AO, normal…
Hey, everyone! I am working on a project with a few specifications and I had a question concerning how texel density correlates to tiling values. Here are the specifications: -4k texture -256px/meter texel density -The texture must tile My initial thought was to tile the texture 16 times because 1/16th of 4096 is 256 and…
Hey guys! First post on polycount! I Wanted to share this piece, I hope you like it! Introduction I love games like Dead Island or Requisition VR. For this portfolio piece I wanted to get inspired by the crafty, impossible yet believable weapon designs of these games. What better than C4 attached to something like a…
I know there's many ways to make textures and I just wanted to know what other people's opinions are on making textures and to clear up any assumptions I have. I more talking about materials to be applied to world geometry rather than making them for models/uv. So here is a list of what I think are the different ways.…
Hell, i'm making a large open world game with a plan to have many villages and towns. Currently i have made a few building, some small hut sized buildings, and some larger semi detached two story ones. I'm confused as to which way would be best to texture them. My first idea is to just unwrap it into a very large image…
