Welcome to the competition hp

Oh, and btw, I pretty much failed to realize it and tell you in time for the last competition, but detail-maps are actually not allowed, as that'd be 2x normalmaps instead of 1. In that case you have to store the information in another channel of the already existing maps.. say for example, you could store a detail dirt-map in the diffuse alpha.. but no detail normalmaps I'm 'fraid.

Cheers!

how would detail maps be stored in games? as a separate file or as you said in an alpha?

oalexis · 18-09-2009, 12:15 AM

In the CryEngine 2 they're stored as a separate file, but I'm unsure about other engines

Most engines use a separate file. Unreal Engine does it as well.

Roger that Tiros!

Yep, we call it a detail map, and we use it very often in here. It's good for wood, concrete, etc.
It helps a lot especially on blurry textures.

I havent posted any progresses yet, but I hope I will soon. Lot's of work lately.
