Ok,
now you have find a nice texture on
the CD but you need another color
in your scene...so this is different
way to cheat with the texture color,
the first image shows you only the
color channel, in this case I put
a 60% opacity layer in multiply mode
and I choose a more yellow/orange
surface color this time. In the second
image I just add the diffuse channel,
like before you can play with the
opacity.
Then, I add the bump and specular channel,
nothing special here, I used the same
process as the previous scene, and this
is the new wall......but now let's play
with a gradient layer and you will see
how you can radically change the color
of the object. In the image 4 I added
a gradient layer in the color channel
and choose Bump to the input parameter,
you can see it in the next screen shot.
I put black in the low bump parameter,
green in the midle, and beige in the
high bump level, and totally neutralized
the other key with a low alpha input.
All these walls are made with the
same layer, I just changed the colors,
alpha Key value and input parameter
for the last one. (previous layer)
Here you can see the same texture
in a simple environment, just 1 light,
and radiosity enabled ;) The stairs
are created with the same displacement
technique as the previous scene, the
barrel is a cylindrical mapping with
another texture from the CD, no UV
map were used.
And
now, I would like to thank the 3D
Total team for the best european 3D
resources and particularly Tom for
his patience ;) and for letting me
try these 3 awesome CD's. I I hope
volume 4 is coming soon, because I
really think it's a good way to learn
how textures work in 3D, and a way
to have nice results quickly and "easily"
without having to have a lot of experience.
And
finally the last one, still the
same wall....maybe i'm addicted
now ;)) Hope you enjoyed this basic
tutorial..... and understood my
"random" English ....
Happy
texturing.
These images were created using
a few of the hundreds of textures
from the Total Texture CDs
- very comprehensive texture collections
priced with the hobbyist in mind.
