[Tutorial] making minerals, rocks.


Recommended Posts

I had a hard time sleeping yesterday, I was anxious, after seeing the designs planted by Wowgetoff... and the art team.

so I started to look for blender tutorials to keep learning.

i found this one in 2 languages, the first one is very fast, it's in one minute. i'm still slow and newbie in blender.

i decided to share the modeling process first. then the rest.
 

 

tutorial in Spanish.

in the second part they will need a texture.

Image texture... then load your texture.

I try with another texture right there.

then Shift +D to duplicate the texture image. (orange window)

if you need to convert any texture to normal map I leave you a tutorial.

I am going to leave an image of how to do it in Photoshop

the idea is to make it look like the rock I saw on one of my trips, if you took the photo or know what the texture looks like you can modify it to your liking.

now that you have the image loaded, the normal map version.

can switch to render view mode and see the difference. note that I added a light source to see this better.

again duplicate the color textural once more. shitf + D

here another tutorial for next texture.(optional  )

As of today, 0 A.D. does not use the rougness map.
I will use the one that comes in the tutorial.

the next step would be to create maps that work with 0 A.D such as Occlusion...etc.

At the end Stan will make some recommendations for us to follow to get it ready for the game.

I don't want to create something complex or even in the game.

but at least to learn from this technique.

If you make a lowpoly version of it (Google retopology), you can use Xnormals to bake the curvature map, and use it on top of one of the new fancy stone textures to generate erosion on the sides.

 

 

I'm still learning, thanks for the heads up. I figured I should do Bake.

which by the way that terminology should have a basic glossary on the wiki.

now come my questions.

How do I generate the other maps?
With retopology you say I will generate all that is needed?

You should show me tutorials so I don't get complicated.

Anything I should download?

Please allow me asking this question that is not specific for these great posts and very interesting links that @Lion.Kanzen has kindly provided, but more in general terms about Youtube tutorials:

The voice-over and consequently the shown video material - or vice versa - are very fast. Maybe I am overseeing the obvious, but I could not imagine to always press the pause button in such a video and then on play again to get along with the high speed. Is there maybe a trick I am not aware of? How do you guys get along with this?

Again, sorry for asking this here, but I have very hard times watching and understanding these "rock" videos. :blush:
