Do you have any screenshots of the 2nd approach? Sounds like it would be really ugly, unless I'm missing something. What kind of UV do you use for that?
That just looks like they want to phase it out. I can go on greenlight right now and put a project up. They also let in another 50 games on August 2nd?
I think that you should take a Potter's uniform and change it XD But I love the big 2nd ! The little 4th is good too ! Sorry for bad english >_< Good luck !
Yeah, if you use vertex blending (or a mask on a 2nd uv channel) for wear and variation, you should be able to get a lot of use out of relatively simply tiling textures.
Made this shield today as my 2nd item for the project :) going out over the next couple of days to get a backplate. Also just an update to the sword with some actual textures.
just don`t use the multiply, plug the 2nd lerp into the 1st lerp. also your going to want to use a heightmap or some map to mask the transition between textures.
