Texture unwrapping for tileable textures
So, I am obviously familiar with unwrapping models for unique textures, but honestly I have never even attempted to work with tileable textures on a major asset. I am trying to branch out and work on this, and I am curious how you guys go about planning a model for tileable textures, while still being able to get unique… -
Re: Texture unwrapping for tileable textures
IME the process does change, quite a bit. Your example shows a single tiling bark texture. But with a packed/atlas texture, I need to carefully lay out my UVs to isolate them, so the trunk mesh only uses the bark area in my texture, and doesn't overlap the leaves part. The non-repeated trunk-base texture also needs its own… -
Re: Texture unwrapping for tileable textures
much like the interwebs, a tree is just a series of tubes, unwrap accordingly. By the way, that's the norm, you shouldn't unwrap trees uniquely, check out Adam's forest level. here's an example of a possible layout. Since the bark texture will repeat more vertically, dedicate more texture space vertically to hide… -
Re: Texture unwrapping for tileable textures
I'm running into this issue as well. A large part of our textures were designed to be tileable and reused throughout the scene, but some objects just NEED model-specific details, and at large scales, it screws with our texel density. We started planning for Mix materials; you could have a completely tilable texture, and… -
Re: Texture unwrapping for tileable textures
Well this was laid out for a unique texture. I only posted that image as an example, I'm not texturing that with a tileable one. It would be better to assume the branches would be separate meshes. Would you lay them out on the same UV sheet similar to how I have it now or would you stack the uv's on top of one another… -
Re: Texture unwrapping for tileable textures
Assuming your texture is pretty straight forward, such as one sheet for bricks, bark, floor tile, etc. Creating something like a tree trunk is no more complex in regard to work flow than making a wall. If you need to get all of your materials into one sheet, such as the one Justin posted, the process doesn't change. Below… -
Re: Texture unwrapping for tileable textures
I've seen Justin's UV layout before in textures that both do and don't tile; the key is that one chunk (the Tiling bark) extends to both sides of the vertical UV space, meaning that the texture can allow for tiling without running into an inappropriate area, but since it only does it on one axis (vertical), you're allowing… -
Re: Texture unwrapping for tileable textures
Hey Progg, I know this thread is like a year old haha, but here you asked all the same questions I have now. I learned a great deal from reading through the comments here, but just wondering if you could post that tree now? Or if you or anybody else has made another tree with a rougher, barkier (basically less smooth)… -
Re: Texture unwrapping for tileable textures
Divi is right I was just referring to spacing everything out. This was before some of the shells were scaled. I did relax the shells. The tree I'm working on is not the one from my baitshop. It is broken into a ton of different pieces for the top branches and such so I was able to scale most of the things independently.… -
Re: Texture unwrapping for tileable textures
I usually stack mine. I'm not sure if it's "professional" or not, but it saves texture space, which is the name of the game. On top of which, if it's not important enough to get it's own Texturing, it's not usually important enough to get it's own UV's. The only exception I can think of is if you're tiling something over…
