I suppose it depends on what your working on, your budget, and the players point of view. Either way I feel you need to check out this tutorial by phillipk and how he transforms a texture on a plane into something else - http://philipk.net/tutorials/modular_rocks/modular_rocks.html That technique can be applied to…
Like this: See how there is a row of shingles that sit on top of the sharp transition points on the roof? Roofers have the same problem you do, because of the angles nothing lines up, looks pretty or is easily functional, so they cover it up the seams. Doing this on your model helps disguise that the textures don't line…
First step is to share images of what you've done so far. We have lots of things to look at here http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/TexturingTutorials Also check out Texture Baking. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Texture_Baking Have you made any models to import into a game engine? Or have you made only high-poly hardsurface…
Something that might be of interest to you Rurouni, a rock tutorial by PhilipK that was recently posted in the technical forums - http://philipk.net/tutorials/modular_rocks/modular_rocks.html
Hey Tin great work and nice site! Got a question still - how do you do get that intertwined look on your highpoly grass/roots and cables ? Just like here http://www.mutantspoon.com/portfolio/hpfrank.jpg here http://www.mutantspoon.com/portfolio/vinewallhp.jpg and here http://www.mutantspoon.com/portfolio/modularpillar.jpg…
The normal map turned out okay I guess, but I think I may have to size it up to 2048 pixels instead of 1024. I should propably have tried to build this modularly from the beginning, to get better texture res. If there is time over I might redo it, but I have to move on.
Hi man, saw your work it looks good but its all short tech demo stuff would suggest looking at industry artists who do environment art. Since that is where you want to be. Some links that might help you, last link is more about CV. http://www.thiagoklafke.com/modularenvironments.html…
Yeah, no problem. They worked really well. You can always adjust the intensity or smooth it out. The textures are part of the project files from here: http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/store/products/tutorials/vmo01/. Also, read this: http://www.philipk.net/tutorials/modular_rocks/modular_rocks.html
