Tech Floor 3 Roughby *soulburn3d

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Objects / Technology Related

One of a number of starship hull test images. I made these images to explore variations in greebling and hull plate shapes and configurations. The tests are a little less practical and a little more abstract, but they have been really helpful, and should be a great source of inspiration and practical experience the next time I decide to make a full fledged 3d model of a starship, space station or even a mechanized planet. Parts were modeled in 3dsmax (many wires were done using my wirebundler script), rendered with brazil, some was painted in photoshop (so the image isn't 100% 3d, but the majority is), and many patterns were inspired and produced by Darktree, Bercon Noise and Filterforge procedural patterns.

This Tech Floor series would make an amazing textures package for mind blowing 3D works if only they were tileable: please, consider it

*soulburn3d Mar 12, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

Maybe Ill do some tileable ones at some point. But they'd have to be far more generic, as these ones, even if tilable, would look too obvious repeated again and again. But thanks for the suggestion.

have you thought of running these through ndo2 and ddo?

*soulburn3d Dec 3, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

That would be cool, except the images have a lot of 2D hand painted stuff, in this particular image, basically the pipes in the middle are the only 3d objects in the image.

*mikemars Dec 4, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

it works on 2d images. it works inside ps. no 3d needed

*soulburn3d Dec 4, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

But it requires normals maps / occlusion maps etc in order to do it's texturing magic, correct?

*mikemars Dec 5, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

no. it makes them based off 2d images and shapes from photoshop.

*soulburn3d Dec 5, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Oh ok. So I've been seeing the ads for their new product dDo, which you mentioned in your comment. That one is the one that requires normals maps to already exists. But their other product nDo, which you also mentioned, that one can create normal maps from stuff like 2d images, sorta like crazybump does. Interesting idea. Wonder if it'll also create displacement maps? Then again, I could also just color correct the different layers to basically create my own displacement maps if I wanted to use them as displacement textures. May be worth running one of them through the trial just to see what happens. ANyways, thanks for the suggestion!

*mikemars Dec 6, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

yeah i was thinking ndo2 with your stuff would blow some minds! its does make displacement maps also. and AO as well, and spc and... but the result your ndo2 stuff then put through ddo would also be amazing too. i'd just think its a natural fit. i'd like to personally see what the result would be. i think it would be very interesting. especially to see it lit!

keep up the cool stuff!
