Hey guys!
I hope you enjoyed your holidays, because I for sure did! :) While the last months were very busy with the deadlines of two big projects, I finally had some time for personal projects after christmas again. I decided to do some texturing practice, specifically for physically-based-rendering (PBR) pipelines, which is becoming a standard not only in offline (Cycles/Indigo/etc) but also in realtime rendering toolsets like Marmorset Toolbag, Unreal Engine 4 or the upcoming Unity 5.
So here’s the result:
Realtime screenshots, multiple angles
Sketchfab model:
And here are the maps created:
PBR Map: Albedo, Ambient Occlusion, Glossyness, Normal, Specular
Keep in mind that this was primarily a texturing exercise, so I didn’t bother to bake a normalmap to a low-poly mesh but rather only used the normalmap for detailing the high-poly version. I used the Quixel testversion to create the textures and I have to admit I really love these tools. I’m pretty sure to buy them. If only it didn’t crash that often…
January is going to be a busy month for me, expect more posts about upcoming events soon! :)
