Re: WIP: Building Environment
I Know Vig had an example once about how to uncontrast repeating elements in a tileable texture. Trying to find it now. -
Re: WIP: Building Environment
Hehe yeah as an architecture student, I have to consider all that including rain. I'm not 100% sure on this, but the gravel could act as a natural filter for rainwater, the water sips through and probably be connected to a drainage system (either internal or external, leaving dirt and leaves behind on top of the gravel.… -
Re: WIP: Building Environment
Having some design issues now. I really want to add the cone, but it looks pretty good without it too. The problem is considering -how- it would be afixed to the building in a practical, real life, example. I have been looking at various buildings online, and not coming up with much. Enclosed are 3 shots for comparison.… -
Re: WIP: Building Environment
Probably screwed. Lol To answer your questions the best I can: -Light Maps are stored in a second UV channel in objects. So for example you export your model to Unreal. You would make a second UV channel with properly laid out UV's. You could auto unwrap or even let Unreal auto unwrap a simple object, but your best option… -
Re: WIP: Building Environment
@ Vig, I really want to thank you for taking the time to comment on my work. I have some counterpoints that are -not- meant to be an attack, merely as a means of further inquisition. Pers vs Ortho: I can see why this is disorienting on the large scale; should I also avoid using the Ortho view in pics that show off the… -

Unless the player is going to get on the roof and get close to the AC units, they've been wasted. If the player does get up there, if the area surounding the AC units is a lower in pixel… -
Re: WIP: Building Environment
hehe, but can't you just multiply that banner detail in photoshop so your engine isn't having to blend two materials? Or do you have "other" overlay textures you put on the base banner textures to use them in different ways? Can you use a smaller image of the same size ratio to overlay? That way saving yourself some disk… -
Re: WIP: Building Environment
I'm going to be doing some junk items: A barrel with two texture variations, an 'Oscar-the-Grouch' style trash-can as well as a dented one, and some cardboard boxes. Do you think there would be anything wrong, professionally, with having these things all share the same texture sheet? Additionally anyone have any good… -
Re: WIP: Building Environment
Well, I did some quick research with Google images. I searched for galvanized metal, but what I wanted was the look of the metal in reality (not just the texture), so I searched for air conditioning ducts. Turns out, a lot of air ducts look like this, or this. But what you want specifically is galvanized metal ducts, and…
