Finally got the shingles to work properly. Had to rearrange some stuff in the UV space to get it to work properly. Have started texturing the roof tiles. Now need to do a similar gradient effect in order to get the normal map I need.

Lesson learned, Crazy Bump cannot be trusted for everything.


Had been working on the siding tiles for one section of the house. Quickly found though that when Imported the diffuse texture into CB it was not exactly doing the effect I wanted, which meant it needed to be substituted for a texture that would give the desired effected of layered panels of roofing.

So began a few hours of tweaking around with that. which ended up leading to the following gradient map. . .



But Luckily I finally got the effect I wanted. Hopefully will be able to share that with you all sometimes soon. But its now early morning. . .

Textures for the main cottage section are now done. Still need to do the normal map, occlusion and parallax for one of the pieces but then this part is done. These are just screen shots of Maya since I'm too lazy to make any nice renders of these.






In other news, just for the sake of some conversation.

What's everyone been listening/watching while they've been working on stuff for Studio?

I've primarily been watching Dead Like Me while here at school, and assorted movies when at home.

Starting to get re familiar with unreal. Playing around with parallax occlusions. Also of course working on textures.

Crazy Bump is once again my best friend.


Working on textures now while playing with some normals, occlusions and the like. So here are some low res photos to give you an idea of what's going on. Kinda wish I had unreal on this comp so I could see these bad boys being used with some parallax occlusion. . .
