Michael Betke Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi I want to share a little teaser for my new model set I work on. It will be called RocksHD and feature lots of new rocks, stones and cliff models for your game-world. This time I really want to push it further and do the best I can with my current knowledge. Each rock will be seamlessly textured, baked from a sculpted high-res ZBrush, have an individual 2048px texture map or a good looking repeating texture for the large cliff sets (maybe with decals to break up tiling). I will use Nvidia physics in 3dmax to make landslides which look naturally fallen so you just need t odrop it into the editor and have natural looking geometry. For now I set up a good workflow to bake my normals,AO and Cavity maps from it before taking it to Photoshop and viewport paint all teh stuff together. Like usually I will use it in my own projects so I don't want to produce **** for you. If you have any wishes you can add them here to the thread so I can take care and include them if its not a glwoing fantasy gem. 2 Quote Pure3d Visualizations Germany - digital essences AAA 3D Model Shop specialized on nature and environments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamecreator Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I hope you include some slightly rounder rocks too, not just the ones with sharp edges shown. Looks great though. Price it well and I'll buy these from you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I like the edges quite a lot. That's what rocks here look like, Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Betke Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 I will do a mix for different sceanrios of course. Roundish rocks will also be included.

Roland Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I also like the edges. Looks very relaistic to me. Quote Roland Strålberg Website: https://rstralberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecreator Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Don't get me wrong, I like the sharp rocks too. But these seem maybe a touch too sharp. I can understand if it helps to save triangles though. Here are what I see for these "edgier" rocks: And here are some rounder ones: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Betke Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Nice references there. Today I didn't had much time to work on the pack because of a project finishing but this evening I did the first batch of single-rocks and also a test for a dark lava-kind rock. I think it turned out like a meteroid or so. I like it for some reasons..don't know why. I could imagine it will do well with some others of this kind near a lava-stream. I will now do some land-slides and large formations with them and turn to the next batch. Maybe the round river rocks from the photo or a batch of smaller to use as vegetation support.

AggrorJorn Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Those models/textures look really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Betke Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks. I did some more lava rocks and now thinking about if I do premade rock formations which are basically a combination of the ones I made. Or if I let the user made them itself. I think drag&drop is easier. Especially for the scaling in Leadwerks its nice. Because there is none...

Michael Betke Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Here we go with the roundish grey rocks: And the formations I wrote about some time ago. Looks great in a forest and its nice to hide. Stick some old and rotten trees between the trees and place some animated birds and you feel like in a national parc. See also the other two lava-like rocks in the middle. My nice humanoid gives you a impression of scale. Now on with the desert sandstones and some other cliff stuff and its finished! Leadwerks Engine will be released first because I can upload it here Quote Pure3d Visualizations Germany - digital essences AAA 3D Model Shop specialized on nature and environments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecreator Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Oh my god. Please make those affordable. I've gotta buy them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Betke Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm not sure yet about the price. I think a bit more as the usual 20 bucks. Mabe 25 to 30 - Turbosquid more of course....Its always hard to decide. At least i lowered most prices this month on my shop permanently to normal numbers. Like 22€ to 20€ for the packs. Not because I dont sell them but I want clear numbers and not this 24,95...
