You need less tiling, or at least not literal tiling (that looks like my bathroom wall). Get a larger texture from somewhere, or paint your own with just some darkening around the edges or something (maybe cracks or wear+tear). Look at actual photos of buildings if you want something realistic.

Anonymous at Fri, 18 Jun 2021 18:08:18 UTC No. 833777

>>833745
That particular texture tiling is bad so you need to make it seamless for a start. When people make buildings they usually make one wall and duplicate it. You can break the texture up with different grunges then.

You don't need 4K textures for low poly assets- 1024 is enough, maybe 2048 if you really want detail
>Then I import them in blender and position the UVs all over the texture
This workflow is going to make it harder for you. Model -> UV -> Texture. Painting over top of the UV is how you tune your texture perfectly to your model

Normal map and everything else except albedo / diffuse should be set to “non-color” and not “srgb” like you have right now.

Overlapping UVs don’t matter because your engine will create a second UV set for lighting (not sure about Godot).

You should use tileable textures, not this weird atlas, because you’re wasting a ton of resolution that way and not even 64k textures would be enough. Textures.com and Polyhaven are websites you should google.

I’d write much more but it would fly over your head so these are important basics for now.

Texture atlases work better on modular construction, next building you make make it a modular design, think valheim or rust or w/e game does that. It saves a lot of texturing headaches, even rock star does this in reddead 2 except of course taken to the next level.

This is why game companies hire artists. Anyone can make a mesh and slap a generic texture on it, it takes an actual artists to create a texture that looks realistic.


What you're doing is essentially what Substance-painter noobs do, apply a smart material and call it a day.

If you want to make something that looks good , do some research. Look at building pictures and see how the materials are used. You wouldn't have bricks curving around a corner for example, you'd have them criss-crossing to a point.

You can't just slap textures and expect it to look good, you gotta use storytelling and reference pictures. Things like scuff marks, cracks in the paint, dirt near the base are crucial. Dont be a fucking idiot.

Anonymous at Tue, 13 Jul 2021 22:53:16 UTC No. 838767

you can do whatever the fuck it is >>837131 said (i didnt read all the way through) or you can do this:

download latest version of adobe air
download shoebox (You can find a tutorial on youtube, look for "texture ripper tutorial"),

go on google street view and look for any useful textures you might want, (windows, doors, walls, signs, anything thats more or less flat) and take a screenshot of it as close as possible.

Import screenshot into shoebox texture ripper, outline and rip the texture, save as image.

Now you can go on blender, make a rough object that matches the shape of whatever it is you want to put the texture on, and slap it on.

If you want to go a step further, google "normal map from image" or something and find a tool that does exactly that. Results will undoubtedly be COMPLETE dogshit but (arguably) better than no normal and bumb map.

Save and apply these maps.

Texture ripper tutorial will explain how to use the application better but its extremely powerful and fast if used right, and beats the shit out of spending years learning procedural texture generation and going to art school.

No it doesn't you absolute dumbass.
Using ripped textures from photos is a workflow from the 90s. It may work for background assets that never get close to the camera, but overall this is a shitty ancient workflow and only complete hacks and idiots that don't understand proper texturing and shading use. Like you Cris. Go fuck yourself.

Of course it's not going to be AAA game quality but if op were working on an AAA game he wouldn't be asking here and neither would he be producing results like this >>834157

Like it or not, for the intended use (assets for a game as stated by op) this is the fastest method providing great results with the least effort put in.

If he'd be making a photorealistic render then yes, he'd have to do it correctly and use real textures, but that's not what he needs.

Have you actually looked at the video you posted? He does a lot of additional steps with nodes to get a usable roughness and normal map out of it. And he has some talent in terms of creating sufficient aesthetic pleasing results.
All of these things OP is clearly lacking.
You won't get these result if you don't have a rudimentary understanding of how proper surfacing works and a rudimentary sense of what looks good and why, again something that OP is clearly missing.
This is a shortcut or a hack that works if you know what you are doing, like with everything you can do it AFTER you have learned the basics.
