Ashura's Texture Practice

[AshuraDX]

Heyya everyone , I recently started trieing to spend atleast a hour a day working with substance designer to improve my texturing skills

anyway I thought that some of you guys might have requests for textures that I could probably take up here

 

it doesn't matter wether the textures are needed for jedi academy or something else or just random suggestions for things I could try

 

here's the product of yesterday evening :

[Angel Soul]

Nice!

[Asgarath83]

Cool!

Mossy Tree bark, 100% procedural

still a bit too painterly right now - might stick with this one for the next 2 days or so - if I can find the time to do so D:

Since my new Graphics Tablet arrived I just had to do some stylised texturing, enjoy my handpainted 256x256 Wood texture !

I also changed the title, as this was not done entirely using substance designer (only used for the render and to process my painted Height map into a normal map)

That wood texture reminds me of World of warcraft  -- low poly textures and models, that would look nice on JA

@@AshuraDX what kind of tablet did you get, I'm thinking about getting a new one soon.

Huion H610 Pro probably the best you can get for 70€

Dragonborn Helmet by ashuradx on Sketchfab
ooooh yeah more handpainting

[Ruxith]

That's really cool

I use Bamboo, though I would like to have a more powerful tablet. It works differently for Mac and PC, so I am still undecided what to do. =) But it helps creating textures and pictures nonetheless.

 

Do you use Corel Draw or Photoshop? Or maybe something else?

 

I really like the clean look of the wooden texture.

Dragonborn Helmet by ashuradx on Sketchfab

 

 

 

 

I want this on Kyle's head

[AshuraDX]

@zeƒilus that helmet is sooo lowpoly - it'd look extremely crappy XD

[AshuraDX]

wooooow been a while since the last post but here comes another one :

based at one of @zeƒilus concepts
 
Texture breakdown (25% of original Resolution):

I'm starting to like Substance Painter a LOT.
 
Also : don't ask me to convert this for Jedi Academy - it's not exactly easy to convert PBR oriented textures to a legacy diffuse/normal/specular system
it's possible to do it quick and crappy but doing it good takes some time

 

EDIT : found a way to convert them quickly with some substance designer experimentation

[z3filus]

That looks fantastic. Wow..

[AshuraDX]

Once again I decided to model a hilt @@Rooxon is modeling aswell - but my version is built for practice and therefor will never make its way into JKA - it's just below 12k tris

 

still WIP, the textures are currently just a bunch of colors combined with my bakes and a bit of noise for the roguhness to break up the highlights a little

now it's time to take this thing into substance painter to add dirt, scratches and a bit of color variation for the materials

[z3filus]

I like this one, too bad it can't be used...

[AshuraDX]

texture breakdown will be added later - thanks for finding that design @, it was fun to model

[Delmi]

That is damn pretty.  Nice work!!

[AshuraDX]

Mesa is a filthy liar

gonna take some more time to get it done though and it's still pretty heavy for a saber with 1736 vertices and 1929 tris

but I couldn't accept that it was impossible to work in JKA at all

[AshuraDX]

I like substance Designer - did I mention that before ?

[z3filus]

you should apply to Pixar,  I can definetly imagine Woody and Buzzlightyear standing next to that!

Maybe you could post rend2 screenshots of things you make - curious how that brick wall would look

Good work!

hmmm - difficult

first : I'm not a mapper but that is the lesser of 2 problems here...

second : this was once again made using a pbr workflow - so it won't translate well to legacy systems (even though I could run it through the substance file I create to convert PBR textures to Jedi Academys old renderer - but i'd have to alter that a little to work for map textures...)

 

EDIT :

I quickly adapted my PBR2JKA substance for map textures

and this is the result I got after pushing the brick material through :

this is what it could potentially look like
