Fun Textures
-
I have been busy with a lot of projects lately, besides the day to day Arch-vis stuff I am also compiling a texture and alpha image library for a certain software distributor.
Anyhow I got playing with some textures and mixing, blending etc with some cool results.I used displacement, Sub-surface scattering, bumps, and blending masks for the following results.
Marble and Amber
Glass with metal bands
Magma
Snowy Mountain
Red cracks
Fragile glass
Chocolate Egg
Rusty Alien
Caged
Red Ribbon
Coral reef
Raspberries
Freaky frog

Wonder who...
Still only letting the cats out - not the dogs...
But these sure look good, Pete...

I can honestly say there is not a single texture there that I don't like.
Really cool! -
I also love your texture tests Pete. These really look nice. You need to put together a package that is for Podium, I'll be the first to purchase.

...And i'll be the second

These are very good pete. We have to try some of these with Kerky

With the current version of KT, these won't work, since most of these use displacement maps...
But this will be available soon... -

Too much teasing, Kim!
Even the silence under the Non-Disclosure Agreement of SU testers is better than this! -

Didn't mean to spill the beans... -
These look promising (love the raspberries)!

Wow!

Pete,
Where do you find the time to explore and develop these things? I hope you have some time to enjoy the simple pleasures like free time to read a book, take your bride to dinner or just sit and stare out the back door and do nothing.
Of course, I love seeing what your mind creates.
Thanks,
Allen

3D art is my enjoyment, when I am not using it to earn my living I am playing around with it learning new methods, easier workflows, new techniques. As for reading a book, I have not done much of that recently, however reading this among many other forums is pretty much the extent of my daily reading and it certainly is a lot of fun and informative reading.
Now as for spending time with my better half, she and I have similar interests, being a builder and designer we enjoy many of the same things, we discuss the new Dwell magazine and other similar publications over a glass of wine, attend exhibitions as they debut, spend hours working on our projects together, etc, and every so often we take a weekend and just get away from it all together.
Now staring out the back door...no time for that one unfortunately, I store all those staring moments for the get-aways, as I believe it's more fulfilling to stare at a sunset over the ocean than the cat grooming itself outside the back door (as seen this moment while staring outside).And thanks, because I do love creating and exhibiting my works too.

There are moments one can become jealous....
This is one of those.Great work Pete!

Pete,
Thanks for taking my comments as compliments to you and others (like Kwistenbeibel) who have advanced the nature of what we do as architects to produce visual imagaes of our ideas in ways we didn't have 5 short years ago. Whether in the photerealistic arena or (take a bow Susan Sorger) the non-photorealistic modes, we are all far better off.
Wish I had tbese tools years ago but happy to have them now.
So thanks Pete for challenging us all, teaching, cajoling but mostly for sharing. Ever up in north Jersey, drop in and I'll take you to lunch or dinner.
