Re: aquaboy
Well, here is my start- What I would like to know is when you texture a normal mapped model, do you guys still put strong highlights and shadows into the diffuse? As you can see above, i have some pretty strong shadows and highlights. Whats the best way to go about texturing a normal mapped character? (in terms of shading… -
Re: aquaboy
the diffuse map by nature is simply colour information though it tends to be gud to have a small amount of lighitng in. If you got doom3, look around all the texture files to get a rough idea exactly how much lighting info u cud put, it's minimal if any. The secret lies into a succesful balance between details put into the… -
Re: aquaboy
Beautiful work. Did you incorporate a global illumination shadow-render into the diffuse texture? -
Re: aquaboy
Dont forget Cyrtek polybumpers preview. http://www.crytek.de/downloads/index.php?sx=polybump You will also need an exporter to export to an OBJ file. Load up aquaboy in max/maya load map in the diffuse and spec channels, aissign to the model, etc. For the normal map put the normal map (the rerendered one, not the doom3… -
Re: aquaboy
Yeah Makk what Mop and Razor said... Its an exercice in itself but it becomes natural rather quickly. You really have to think just like if you'd been texturing a hirez model, which is something we are not really familiar here Break down your materials, and be very gentle with the specmap on the fleshy bits. I terms of… -
Re: aquaboy
Hey Peanut I'll do the saphire one too when time alows Second part of the sdk below: http://www.pioroberson.com/files/sdk_part2.zip You'll find an OBJ and a Max7 file in that, and a special PSD I've put together that shows how to fake a normalmapped result with a 100% self illumination texture. You basically put all your… -
Re: aquaboy
Makk, usually I think when a character is normal-mapped and specular-mapped, you really don't need much painted shading at all, especially not highlights. The diffuse map of a normal-mapped character usually appears pretty flat, since the highlights aren't painted on, it's mainly hue and colour variation of a basic… -
Re: aquaboy
Cheese, it seems like the built in Doom3 normalrender handles that pretty well. Check Vahl's tut and models Vahl, yeah it's super easy and never fails. I've made some more samples using a camera stand, they are even sharper! Hawk, tutorial here : http://66.70.170.53/Ryan/nrmphoto/nrmphoto.html I'm not following the exact… -
Re: aquaboy
Well it's a bit of an issue in Doom3 Daz. Out of the box the engine is not supporting it by default, hence the way to fake it is maybe to use stronger curvature on the hipoly mesh (like on the eye here, which is a strong shape hence 'concentrate' light somehow.) The highlight shape is not tweakable tho. It can be faked on…
