Battlesuit Texture

Post by Viech »

The current battlesuit texture shows artifacts during animation and needs an improvment or replacement:

Well, first -- they are aliased a lot. You can notice a lot of "ladders" all over diffuse texture(same for others, but it's noticable on diff the most). Second -- some weird noise like black dots are here and there. Third -- parts that are going to be deformed a lot use small pieces of texture space so they get distorted A LOT. I'll try to walk around the last issue, but that would make sense only if we get fixed first two issues.

So there are two options for the retexturing. Ideally, you would receive the model source and unrwap it once more, so that bigger islands are used for areas that bend a lot during animation and texture it from scratch. Alternatively you can receive the texture (sources?) and fix the ladders and black dots, maybe give it a general touchup on top.

You can follow the animation thread for more details on the issue and read the model thread for former artistic direction on the battlesuit and its texture.

Stannum will receive the high poly model from lhdc and retexture the battlesuit.

Could someone give me a quick briefing on the current state of the battlesuit texture?
