Re: mikes art thread
That's a really nice normal-map on the wall texture there. The diffuse is also good but feels like it could do with a tad more detail and noise. Some more sharp dark spots to imply cracks in the mortar would be great. About painting or baking lighting into diffuse textures when normalmapping... a little bit usually helps a… -
Re: mikes art thread
Thank you so much everyone for the feedback, Ive never had better from any other forum . what you guys have said in 4 posts realy opened my eyes, very helpful stuff, ill definitly keep posting here, cheers. For the building model in the top 3 pics; its a low poly model with diffuse and normal maps baked from a highpoly… -

Re: mikes art thread
hey thanks for the feedback [email="Por@szek.:)"]Por@szek.:)[/email] Ive been doing a few expirements with grass in 3dsmax8 and getting some pretty convincing results. I started by baking diffuse, specular, normal and ambient occlusion maps from high poly geometry to get the first layer; the underlying earth and leaves.… -
Re: mikes art thread
thanks for the masking idea shape, ill definitly experiment with that it sounds easy enough to render out a map in block colours then select the colour range in PS. Some of the bricks are pretty much flush with the mortar I thought it had an interesting effect at the time, kind of a patchy look but I agree, it dosent look… -
Re: mikes art thread
Ive just been working on a few urban graphiti textures, I'd realy appreciate some critique's. Ive been experimenting with the material editor in 3dsmax. Ive multiplied several images into one material, then rendered them to texture to get diffuse, spec and local maps and then added final touches like the tagging, I still… -
Re: mikes art thread
Interesting technique and some really cool work! I can't help but think you're restricting yourself by rendering out your diffuse as a single sheet though - either rendering out separate maps for each surface type or as separate flat colours would help you make some decent masks. Using these masks could be really helpful… -
Re: mikes art thread
Hey MoP, would you happen to know anyhting about using the 'deform sprite' def on an alphatested shader with specular and bumpmaps? Ive been trying to get this to work for foliage on trees but instead I ended up just creating a 6-tri cluster model (3 planes facing at each axis) for the foliage using the same material but…
