Quake3World

Looks like a Valve dev texture =)

Tech Noir/Cyberpunk styled...

This maps done - gameplay vise - tested many, many times. But it might take a while to fix the graphics...
(Ps, I know the "trash texture" on the ground looks very bad, it's also very temporary =))

My failed attempts at creating textures.

Upside-down shadows on the bolts in the lower picture?

Errrrr. thanks, was wondering what was wrong with the bottom section
sec. lemme fix that

Similar problem with the top one. Looks like some of the bolts are getting lit from the north, and others from the west (compare the top two bolts on the right side, for instance). Other than that, they look pretty cool.

Here's the first texture I've tried to make. I'm having a hell of a time getting the cloning tool to behave properly but this is what I've managed so far:

I'd really appreciate it if some of the pros here could give me feedback on this one so I can get this ready for use ingame

I'm...confused? I assume that's not a shot of the actual texture, but of the texture tiled 3 x 3?

Correct. 3x3 tile.

I like that texture

Thanks. Here's the actual texture (non-tiled) with its normal and specular maps as well:

256 x 256 saved as 24 bit TGA






And another brick texture I'm working on:

512 x 512 saved as 24 bit TGA

Can you post a render view of them as well?

Still a bit modular but I'm very happy with it compared to how it was.

it is way better, but i feel it needs that center-piece decoration before that wall becomes significant. i totally agree with previous thoughts on a large vehicle bay door, maybe even damaged so that it no longer works...

Wattro I think you should push it a bit out from the wall

Take the following with a grain of salt, I'm no texture artist. I like it, but I would be inclined to break up the orange a bit. It's pretty darn orange. Maybe take the shinier, brighter "cross" part and color-shift it to a tan, or a brown, or maybe even a bluish-gray? Just a thought...

Ok so added a see-through type door that Im going to go back over later but I'm considering blowing a small (crouch) hole in the door and opening a new route to go around the building through it.

silicone:

make it massive, like 2-4 times bigger...it looks like it's no wider than your stairs. i wouldn't worry about see-through or an alternate way out because then you have to do more work, but that's just my dev-fu at work...

instead of the ramp you got, just have the loading bay area depressed down a foot or two, that'll give the ground a breakup and create some interesting gameplay over more of the room instead of just one small area.

if you want an extra path, just pretend it's a garage bay and have a way to get to the parked vehicle from underneath...

This is just a small test I did today. The diffuse it's just an image I slapped on for tests sake. It's quite high poly atm (7k) but it could probably be optimized down to 2-3k.This is just a small test I did today. The diffuse it's just an image I slapped on for tests sake.

Pretty cool wall. Pretty cool wall.

Do rocks normally intersect like that? Shouldn't there be mortar or something

Well no they don't do that normally
Although I found some images with rocks just laying on top of each other without any mortar and they looked nothing like this ether

but as I said this was just a test and I think I learnt a bit from it

What you're possibly thinking of is something called "drystone walling" whereby the weight of a stone (+shape/size) is all that's used to hold it in place; the UK has a huge amount of this type of wall boundary to denote borders between fields and farm land. So technically a wall doesn't necessarily need mortar under certain circumstances.

it will probably fit better if used for a cobblestone road than a wall

If you can space out the pieces of stone ever so slightly it would look better, so the stone doesn't look like they're intersecting into each other. Whether you want to add mortar between the stones is up to you.

Thanks guys. We'll see if i ever decides to try to fix it. And just to clarify a bit. The single stone row you see on the screen is the only row of stones I did and baked a normal to it and then duplicated, mirrored, rotate and that sort of stuff so it was harder to detect the repetition. That's one of the reasons to why it's a bit hard to just quickly space the stones a bit out. On the bright side however It would be quite good to use in a engine that supports efficient "reuse of models" like Unreal 3
