I'm blown away by how great the entries on this thread have been so far. Like many on this thread, this is my first time entering a speed texturing competition.

C&C is welcome.

wow, awesome stuff so far here - as a longtime lurker i'm impressed. this is so much fun that i'll might go for a third entry. something more sci-fi.

and i noticed that most of you guys seem to be quite fond of crazy Bump which i feel is horrendously overpriced. i guess we all stuck with it after the beta. personally i use Shader Map Pro for which $20 seem a fair deal. i can't tell how good it is with shape recognition and stuff (and is also doesn't have a live preview) but apart from that i am really happy with that piece of software.

hey, i hope this doesn't count as spam! if it does just delete it.

Nice Kendoran,

you asked for C&C so thought I would just give my thoughts,

Im not sure if you created your spec in crazybump or something but it looks kinda funny with the white areas around bricks, and I think the graffiti should also be included onto the spec as it is a different material from the brick and usually looks less reflective.

Maybe make your normal map more instense, or just play with the lights to make it stand out a little more, and I would make the normal of the brick appear through the poster a little bit, realistically putting a poster onto the wall, it would sink into the shape of the wall as you stick it on.

understandably time was limited, so something to consider when you next make a wall

My entry. Took 90 minutes to complete. Still not happy with the normal map.

The plane doesn't really matter in this competition at all. The reason they can only use a plane is simply so that others don't gain advantages using complex models along with their textures. So in other words, what they're doing ain't just texturing a plane, but creating a wall texture

I love the way Doylle's viewport shader works. It looks just like an in-game screen shot.
