[WIP] Ground texture mod

[Cobra8472]

Ali Fish, your screenshots actually give me a more realistic impression than what is currently in game.

I hope you ARE treating these as diffuse textures however. Do not expect shaders or normal maps to add all the detail for you, most of it is always in the diffuse.

You need to fill those tiles out with detail and or real image overlays.

Keep it up, in any case.

Ali, can't you release at least the darker trees first, please, while you're working on a full terrain mod?

pretty please

the thread titles Forrest Green is a darker trees mod. no point in having 2.

they are not so good as the ones I've seen in your mod, sir. The replacement tree model is not fitting with the rest of the trees.

PS: the ones from this post, please

Hey Ali,
I catched your secret! U re not alone anymore!
..just some test to evaluate how shaders alter the color palette...
I think googled picts are a good base to start.
I have some rudiment in 3dsmax and renderings, I think the 'Field' material in Clod is too much reflessive, it should be a matte material.

but I have no idea how shaders work

I'll post more later

haha good stuff i like those colours. bit low res but the googley style images in there are ok colour wise. we cant have trees in the texture though !.

shaders :

diffuse = texture
alpha of diffuse = NO IDEA. maybe lighting orientated (specular brightening ?)
_N variation files are the normal channells. (RGB specific) and they produce an element of height mapping to the texture from the general lighting.

I think that shows that the colour has to be tweaked a lot to fit in the game, as to me, the colours from google-earth don't look very realistic. It's hard to explain how you'd expect the colours to look; you really have to flie over the terrain in real-life for yourself, but the ambience is similar in some respects to RoF.
