Modular roads with unique normal
Greetings. In general, this is my first attempt to socialize among 2D artists and 3D artists. I hope for your understanding, since I am a beginner 3D environment artist. I ask for help and support. I need to make a modular road. Unusual, dilapidated in places, more like a rural or country road. In general, I did it and… -
Re: Modular roads with unique normal
Agreed. But to clarify a couple of things: Modular simply means that you can assemble a bigger object from smaller, often repeating or exchangeable meshes. Your road bits are still modular, and you wouldn't tile the texure, but repeat/switch your meshes. If you want a basic setup for a freely tiling texture (so not in… -
Re: Modular roads with unique normal
The basic mechanics of that Witcher technique are really cool. I've used the same/similar approaches for various ID related things in a few games - the huge benefit is that it's not subject to filtering and compression artefacting in the same way that texture based masking is. There are some considerations though if you're… -
Re: Modular roads with unique normal
Thank you guys, it turned out somehow like this. I'll take a closer look at everything you've offered me (unfortunately, I've been working on it for the last few days) and explore the possibilities of optimized texturing. At the moment, each such 'module' contains a separate unique material plus decals. The result,… -
Re: Modular roads with unique normal
You might re-read the part about tileable texture (and normal) and using vertex painted values to alter them to your needs.. There was also some version of not mixing RGBA but also using "steps" on the values.. I think this was about the Assasin's Creed environment .. sadly not anymore in the wiki.. ..after "some hours"..… -
Re: Modular roads with unique normal
Hello, welcome to the journey :) You might use this workflow for something like sidewalks, but for anything that needs to feel more natural and 'off-grid' you will have a lot of problems, not least is the normal map issue you've run into. A typical workflow would involve simple meshes or even just planes that are… -
Re: Modular roads with unique normal
as Noren says.. if you want any texture to be independent from another you need different UVs - eg. by using a second UV set, creating them in your shader or a combination of existing UVs and some maths personally - I'd tile an asphalt texture set in world space and blend it with the unique normals using some masks or…
