Re: texture: reflective latex for baking
if you really want to do this as a baked diffuse rather than a realtime shader then set the material to be black and about 90% reflective. Then set up a floor plane, medium gray in texture, and about 20-50% self illuminated. Make sure it's big. Put another small plane or 2 out well in front of the model in positions for… -
Re: texture: reflective latex for baking
Yeah you can't do this effect just with a diffuse. A bright specular on a dark plain diffuse might go some way towards faking it, but you really need a realtime environment map of some sort to pull off the effect - even Quake 3 could do this so I'd be very surprised if you can't use this effect for whatever reason. -
Re: texture: reflective latex for baking
For only being a simple diffuse texture, the elite guards from RtCW gave that shiny leather/latex look rather well. -
Re: texture: reflective latex for baking
Remember -those are studio shots with studio lighting and white backdrops. If the same shots had been taken in yellow room, you'd have a yellow tinge. Outdoors you'd end up with a slightly blue tint. Since you are wanting to bake your reflections into the diffuse itself, consider your reflections colours a little. -
Re: texture: reflective latex for baking
Good advice, all. I should make clear, though, that the goal of this is actually to have raytraced reflections baked into a diffuse map. I know, not the most ideal situation, but the environment it's headed for acknowledges this. NOT a modern 'next gen' engine, I assure you. Vailias: That's the kind of suggestion I needed,… -
Re: texture: reflective latex for baking
Reflections need to be done real-time. The diffuse texture should not have highlights or reflections in it (ie, you cannot "bake" them). With the right normal map, and cube map, writing a reflection shader is relatively easy, and will look similar enough to those models. EDIT: The eye shader on my website would be somewhat…
