Normal and Occlusion Maps

[o4saken]

This is just practising texture painting seams and edging in blender - far from perfect, but i am slowly getting there. I just find it very difficult to control both the model and the texture stamp and not get confused with all the buttons needed to be pushed, but practice makes perfect i guess - which i still need lots of .

The image for the diffuse i found on Google - I am not sure what its copy right licence is - so definitely dont use this for commercial works. its a very simple shirt and the diffuse texture can easily be modified - in which case the shirt itself you can use for what ever you want.

Mens ripped jean shorts - texture stamping experiment - This one came out nice, still room for improvement, but i like it.
I had to separate the normal map again as it is too big.

This is the same pants as before with just another texture and a new normal map - I have a new way of making normal maps and clothes using sculpting rather than how i was doing the entire model in edit mode... the results of what can be achieved are amazing and its so much simpler - this pants alone looks much better with all the sculpted wrinkles.

Mens long jacket - this was just a simple sculpting experiment.

MENS red leather jacket - - Another jacket sculpt - this one i put quite a lot of effort into the textures - mostly the Normal map - which is why its so big and in a seperate zip file - this has all the wrinkles and the details of the leather, a lot of effort was put into the wrinkling like around the collar etc. And i think it came out great... The zip is actual geometry, for now this is my preferred method, it just looks better than anything that i could try and do with textures.

On a side note As an experiment though after i made the clothes and saw the size of the normal PNG, i opened it in gimp and converted it to JPG, and the size was halved.... anyhow the MHMAT file is referring to a PNG so i put that here but going forward i will definately convert to JPG - even if there is a slight loss in detail.

Mens underwear - with visible bulge.

Tubetop - this is not so great, i was just playing around with textures - this has no diffuse texture, so you can make it any colour you want, mine being dark grey almost black, then it has a normal map to give height to the sequins and some wrinkles, but the most important is the Tubediff.png which is actually plugged into a factor for glossy node to give shine only to the sequins.

Night vision Goggles

This was more a modelling exercise, lots of little parts, it only has one diffuse texture, but in my Cycles render i selected the lenses, added another material using the same diffuse texture but changed the diffuse node to glass. ignore the white cubes sticking out, those are obviously from the makeclothes human model

Here is what the model is base on:

All vertices are assigned to a rigid group.

Did a little more work on the Diffuse texture, using blenders vertex painter to highlight the edges of the model - i think it feels more real and the details are much more prominent, anyways here is the render and the optional updated diffuse.

They look great and I like the details. Can't wait to try them out on Zakiya.
Thank you!
