Kbird1 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Thanks Rene , I am assuming you need the 4x16 Tile Material I made by altering the std Chief "White Tile" ? the Grout lines are bigger than I'd like, but that is the best I can personally do. calibz added White Tile - Subway 4x16.calibzFetching info...

Kbird1 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Kirk Clemons of Chief Architect has also Created a Tutorial for those willing to try making there own it is here: https://kcclemo.neocities.org/creating-height-and-normal-maps/ Chief Architect also has a KB Tutorial on how to Apply Maps here: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01807/using-bump-maps-to-make-realistic-water-effects.html And hopefully Kirk doesn't mind I made a PDF of his Tutorial too... you'll still need the Internet for the Online Map Mapper and GIMP - an Image Editing Program.

jtcapa1 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I've tried using that online tutorial and got all the way to the online Normal Map generator and everything worked and look fine, except when I downloaded the image and looked at it on my system is was all black. Wondering what I missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering what I missed. Expand Could be a browser issue. I generally use GIMP for all of my normal maps, but it seemed simpler to write the article using the online generator as installing the normal map plugin and working with layers seemed like it might be a little more complex than the majority of users would be willing to go. Maybe I'll write a second article or create a video some time showing the method I use all within GIMP. But, if you have access to Photoshop, then it is worth learning how to take advantage of it.

cerodgers Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 All Thanks for the great tips, I did utilize the GIMP normal map and was happy with my outcome it was quick and easy. I will attempt to do a normal map in Photoshop. Thanks again attached is my first try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Kirk - would be interested in the process(video?) in Gimp. I do not have photoshop and just downloaded Gimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkClemons Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I don't have a microphone so it would be a video with captions if I can find the time to create one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
