I can see the zentradi windows!

I'm no mapper, but that looks like something of a nightmare to work on.

Can we have a shot of the ship with that bake?

sigtau · **Reply #407 on:** October 17, 2010, 07:36:53 am

I spy ambient occlusion.

So do I. The file is called MainHullAOgreebled.png

I jest.

I would also like to see regular update screenshots. Could you keep them coming at at least the current rate please?

This, basically.

I'll want to do a first pass on the textures before I render out. You see, I have a system for texturing this that shouldn't take too long to do! I also have more work to do on the UV map as I'd like to reduce the amount of wasted space.

I hope your diffuse is going to be 2048x2048 otherwise your detail won't be good.

Even 2048x2048 might not be sufficient.

The E · **Reply #413 on:** October 18, 2010, 03:57:32 pm

I'm guessing that there will be two versions of this. One 4096^2 map for the advanced mediavps, and a 2048^2 version for non-advanced.

isn't it better to use two 2048 textures than 1 4096? I recall some cards cant even render correctly 4096 textures...

The E · **Reply #415 on:** October 18, 2010, 04:29:41 pm

Correct, but those are by far in the minority. In the end, it's GalEmps' call

Galemp · **Reply #416 on:** October 18, 2010, 04:38:50 pm

I'll be using 2 2048 maps, one for the hull and one for the greebles, and one 1024 map for the debris.

chief1983 · **Reply #417 on:** October 18, 2010, 04:56:44 pm

2x 2048^2 maps != 1x 4096^2 map

Zacam · **Reply #418 on:** October 18, 2010, 07:58:37 pm

That beats the 17 texture slots taken up by the current Colly, regardless of what their individual sizes are.

I like.

Galemp · **Reply #419 on:** October 18, 2010, 11:51:02 pm

The nice thing is that the second 2048 map won't be used at all past LOD0.

Anyway, I've rearranged the UV map to eliminate wasted space, so the texel ratio is approximately 8% higher now. Cheers!
