Post #121
Kinda hard to explain or teach. Basically you make the texture and then make it seamless. (To make it seamless I just use a paint.net plugin called seamless texture helper and then patch up tiling errors with photoshop patch tool) Making the texture itself is a bit more complicated, can't be bothered to explain it in detail it's 4am.

Aww, the texture creation part is what I wanted to know xD
If you care to when you have the time, I'd appreciate it :3
-
pfft.
I go oldschool pixel by pixel.
Also speaking of tiling, I did the plank texture blind, and just today I patched couple of them together to discover that I managed to do it without tiling errors.
Edited:
don't know about the rest, tough
Edited:
also if you guys happen to need an artist or something, I'm up for the job since I really don't have anything to do
Edited:
they are pmuch photos cropped to size and the grass-dirt one is grass overlapped with dirt, grass layer cut and drop shadow applied as far as i can tell
-
At this point we really only need the textures, but we'll keep that in mind for when we get to a point where we think "Damn, we really need an artist!"
-
I sent your mate the updated stuff
-
You beat me. But that dark area on the wood doesn't look nice.Here's my contribution :
Edited:
I have no idea how these would look ingame so sorry if they look like shit.
Edited:
And that hole in the dirt.
-
It would look so much better with some lighting and a bit of AF, the textures start to look a bit rougher when further away. If you got mipmapping working too, that would be nice.Your textures:
Another good texture look, and no tiling errors as I can see. Great! Thanks to Satane, juGGa and 3v3ryb0dy for devoting their time to helping us. I will talk to the other developer tomorrow, and then we'll discuss exactly what kind of textures we want for our engine.
-
That's exactly what I did. I used like 3-4 family photos for each, just overlapping them and changing blending options until I thought they looked good (and have a bit of a minecraft feel to them). So basically the stone texture is made of mountains, asphalt and some buildings, same goes for everything else (sand is actually made of not only sand but also the ocean, to add that wavy look)
Edited:
I can easily fix those if they go for my textures, we haven't seen 3v3ryb0dy's after all.
-
I made two different log textures that fits with each other or with the same texture.
-
This looks amazing. Thanks for posting a link in the Wiremod forums, or I would've never found this.

Have been making some progress in the landscape-generation department. I'm using trilinear interpolation to generate caves and possebly overhangs soon.
Here are some pics! (The heightmap here is simple bilinear interpolated, not very pretty)
Just caves, no heightmap
Caves with heightmap
Slightly larger caves, might use these in certain areas
Finally, a very dense cave system (this was acctually a bug, there's way to many faces to render. Look at the FPS
)
As an extra treat, here's some pics from the very first verson of the engine... They are about 5 months old
-
Luv it
-
so the problem when you scale down the block size is that the large amount of faces to render will lag?
-
Look at the size of that thing
-
The dirt layer seems to be too equal. Add variations in height.
Also in the first versions the hills are at 60fps but the current version is 30fps. Optimisation loss?
-
-
would be super cool if the generator managed to create random bridges in the caves
-
z = depth y = up x =left/right
Edited:
dude that looks beautiful
-
So have you guys decided about the textures yet?
-
We're working hard on porting the graphics-engine to OpenGL.
We'll release a playable alpha as soon as we've solved this little problem:
Along with some other small issues
As you may see, textures are not really a subject right now
-
Success!
-
Looks like Mirror's Edge Title city
-
I can't wait to mess around in the alpha
-
so, about my textures?
-
Yes, about them... There were missing a couple of rows and colums in the grid. The 3x3 block grid should be 192x192px
-
Umm, guys... We just had a meltdown at our local power plant...
-
Silly Matte, trees can't grow on the sun.
-
Oh look, a sea of piss.

Do me a favor and keep the trees packed that dense, there's something neat about a sudden thick treeline.
-
You mean something like this?

I finally figured out how to do the textures! Here are a few pictures of our engine in OpenGL:

Preparing to release a very limited trial with OpenGL in about 10 minutes.

Looks like you're adding faces to chunk boundaries with that there water.I finally figured out how to do the textures! Here are a few pictures of our engine in OpenGL:
-
We know what this problem is, and have a solution... We just need to code it in OpenGL
It will be present in the following teaser release, but will be fixed before the first real alpha version.
Matte is uploading the teaser now
-
Here is a (very limited) teaser, with almost everything disabled. The reason is that we just ported the engine to OpenGL (which should make it run on any windows computer with .net 4), and haven't had the time to enable all the features yet.
Enjoy the Umbra Voxel Engine 1.2 teaser!

Test it and post your results here!

Facepunch forum-to-world generation.

If anybody wants to replace the texture file (in the Content folder), the file should be a .png with 16x16 textures. The individual textures can be any with as long as they are equally big. The location of the blocks are the same as in Minecraft.
-
ummmm
-
What manufacturer is your card? This happened on my testbed computer as well, and a driver update fixed it. Try downloading and the newest driver anyways. I don't trust windows on graphics card drivers, and I never will.
ummmm
BTW, the engine requires at least OpenGL 3.2
Not anymore. New links should support anything from 2.1 and up.
