Was just a really quick texture, really didnt think about it all that much :P



well, anyway, ive finished my second entry, as im doing this to improve my own skills it doesnt really matter what the content of the posters are. However if you must know, its the project my team are currently working on.

What sign/billboard competition would be complete without a Wall Drug billboard?

Reference Wall Drug sign.

For those that don't know what Wall Drug is, here's a little snippet off the Wall Drug Wikipedia article:

Wall Drug has been featured in Time Magazine as one of the largest tourist attractions in the north. They have over 500 miles of bill boards on Interstate 90, going all the way back to Minnesota. Wall Drug spends an estimated $400,000 on bill board signs every year.

Here are my 3 maps.

I started off in illustrator recreating the above reference sign. There are other cooler Wall Drug signs (like ones about homemade pie and free ice water in 120 miles), but I'm not as familiar with illustrator as I am photoshop, so didn't want to make it more work than it had to be. I didn't count my time in illustrator toward the texturing 'cause...well, everyone else seemed to be getting a downloaded image for the sign itself, and it took me a while to figure out how to warp the text like that.

Once I had my sign I threw it over the top a sign with the previous words painted out. Then I cut up some wood texture off cgtextures for the boards, and added bolts and stains to both the sign and boards. I painted a mask for the paint and put a gray layer below it, adding some random noise/details to both. The specular was made re-using a bunch of layers from the diffuse, and same for the normal map (nvidia filter).
