very nice tressel!

Actually you won't need softimage xrok1, if you read further through the thread there is a way to go directly from SU to sandbox 2. It requires you download a program called colladaCGF. Read a bit further down the thread, and you'll see it Also you could check in this thread http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=11606&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=playup&start=30 or PM zapwizard, he can explain it more clearly, since I think he pioneered the technique.

It indeed is awesome! You can use this technique here to get your stuff into the sandbox2 editor. http://www.crymod.com/thread.php?threadid=19058

thats pretty sweet, too bad it doesn't cut CO2 as well

that pretty cool, its too bad UV can't be mapped to use texture space a little more efficiently. Other than that good work Could use a little bit of dirtying up since its a military vehicle IMO

some assests i made for use in a crysis map pics taken in the cryengine 2

These would look cool in a game engine what method did you use for UV mapping them?

heres my try at it. you can use match colour in photoshop to add whatever colour you want to it

thanks so much zapwizard! i'm going to put this to use for sure. Just imported a little pagoda into the sandbox

similar to that videos method you can make bump maps with SU and kerkythea. First off model your detailed piece of engine or hull plating etc, then make a scene right above it in SU with parallel projection on. Export the model to kerkythea and turn parallel projection on in kerky. Then when you render use setting 24, depth render. Save your image and then open it in photoshop, and invert it. That will be your bump map. Also you could then run the Nvidia normal map filter with invert y box checked if you need a normal map. Heres a quick example of the little test panel i did and the bump and normal maps obtained from the aforementioned method.

hope this helps
the nvidia normal map filter is available freely from the nvidia website as well

very cool video

I requested some better UV tools, someway to unwrap models

some other stuff i'm playing around with. I'm learning kerky now as well, seems to be a great program! I like the volumetric lighting feature

Looks really good. Only thing that could be improved is the tiling doesn't line up with some of the bricks, otherwise

the trees in the first shot look marvelous! nice work with the renders

Alternatively here is a free online service that doesn't require you to download anything. They convert the files for you, and you then download the files from them http://www.zamzar.com/

yes it is possible. Once you have painted the texture onto the face, select the face then right click and go into texture > position. You should then be able to change the position, rotation, skew, and scale. Hope that helps

really nice texturing

Heres another film that expands on this idea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B04_9H7sGe0 very interesting stuff

Thanks xrok1 Heres a building from today.
