Interlopers.net Forum - Half-Life 2 News & Tutorials

They have one of these over at mapcore and i think interlopers should have one also . That way we can all post wips and stuff of our textures and get feed back.
i shall start this off .

Ive been playing around with textures a bit recently and i thought i would post some shots of stuff

--Mexican type wall with brick trim--


--Red wall with windows--


--Vanilla wall with same setup--

you're machine. nice work

Pretty good stuff.

1rst one: The normal needs to be more subtle.
2nd one: A little too saturated.
3rd one: I like it.

Flats are always nice to see...

thanks for the crits back phil ill take a look into these things

Hessi helped me out a bit and i reworked my texture to this so far

beautiful!

Awesome !

I really like the third wall

The vanilla wall and the reworked red walls are really nice, you going to make versions without windows?

How are you getting those displayed like that?

QFT. you're a god among mappers. prick.

I agree with PhilE. I find that renders in max never really show what it will look like ingame (source wise).
So I try my normal maps and stuff ingame before I make a decision on them.
As for the rework that Hessi give you help with, its very good. but I would give more definition to the bricks around the window, but not too much. it just looks a tad flat atm.

nice work vivi, keep at it man.

edit: im just thinking, when I have been working with normals, I hate the plasticy rounded look it gets (reminds me too much of some Doom 3 engine games), try go for sharper depths when creating a normal.
Like in PS, Chisel Hard instead of smooth.

got one here, never really textured before so i thought id give it a shot



Egyptian Wall

I need help.
It needs to be:
-Longer [about 2048x128 pixels]
-More realistic
-Transparent



I don't get how you guys make textures like the ones above. Photoshop? I can't afford it :S
