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

Thanks but I found something I like better, $envmaptint. Basiclly I just dulled it down.

well, are we going to see a screenshot?

Sadly no, I had to get rid of reflecting all together. At least until I make a much more even normalmap, it won't reflect well.

ATM my normal looks really poor. Good in idea, bad in practice. I need to make it so only the dots reflect, that's gonna take awhile.

So only the dots reflect? That shouldn't be taking a while at all; mind posting the alpha you used as the spec map and the texture's .vmt?

Oil?

Looks like a melted emoticone.

'course none of you know what that is (it isn't a misspelling) so instead i'll say:

Looks like a rainbow puddle.

Hi. First post on interlopers. Really like the place. I'm totally up for next map battle if it has a theme.

I'm experimenting with some textures made from photos of mine. Think I need to back of a bit from my subject or I will have to much repetition. Cobble isn't tf2-ed ofc. Anyways:

Cobble:


Lumber:

So I've pretty much read through the entire thread, and it made me jealous of you guys' talents. Any chance you could point in the direction of a great learning source for creating textures?

http://www.cgtextures.com < texutures
http://www.interlopers.net/tutorials/Texture_Creation < tons of tutorials
http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/design/photoshop-tutorials-textures/

Just to name a few.

Thanks! Hopefully I'll have time to mess with this soon

Your lumber seems a little too rounded. I assume you used crazy bump?

Consider using something like mudbox (available to students for free) to model the lumber and bake it as a normal map. There are a few tutorials on the net to do this and the result will be much more satisfying. Like the cobble good looking texture

I like how that post was from 11 months ago.

normal mapped texture in UDK. My first tiling texture as well.

looks nice bro
