Stan` Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Texturing has, and is still my weak spot, so I'm always trying to improve there, because I intend to give the flora some love. Today I experimented translating a tutorial from http://www.oggyart.com/tutorials.htm a CD Projekt Red environnement artist to blender. I found the link on Khaganat so I thought I'd try it out. In the end I didn't manage to get much of the workflow in blender, but if someone can make it more straighforward please let me know. For now, I just take a vertical picture of grass planes just like he does. Reusing game grass textures I managed to get some new terrain textures. (Files are at the bottom for people that want to try it in the game) I can upload the blendfile on request. grass_texture_1.zip 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted August 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Another attempt. This time with mixed grass. untitled1.png.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 You don't want it to be too directional because of the various camera angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I like the very first one. A mix of that and the last one might yield a pretty nice texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted August 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 So I have been experimenting with Substance Designer and tried to learn as much as I could. If you never heard of it, check it out, the results are awesome. I bought a license to be able to use it with 0 A.D. Textures are 16bits though, shouldn't be hard to convert them back. (It means smoother gradients which improves the final) result. rocky-mud-1.0.7z 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some observations: The biggest thing you'll notice is that these tile badly. They don't tile correctly at the edges and they have a dark spot in the corners. Fix that and these are on their way. The blade size is too big in scale. Grass blades should be much smaller in scale (for standard grass), especially when compared to units. A few variants with bigger blades are okay though, maybe for tropical grassy fields or for punches of detail. But on the whole, "grass" blades should be smaller scale. Would be nice to have variations where there are plant shapes thrown in and variants where there are different grass colors mixed in (not just all one color) to blend between the different shades of grass.

Stan` Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Tiling will be a bit hard because it's a 3D render but I have some ideas. Intermediary textures should be doable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
