Community Food and Drink Textures!

[sausagekingofchicago 4711]

There are some Arma assets that BI has released. Grab the environment pack and look under Misc. Textures and an .rvmat would need to be made and the packing of the object may be different but that's a good place to start.

Thanks, I've unfortunately been away recently and haven't really had access to GIMP or stuff like that, hopefully I'll be able to churn a few more out before the next hurdle in my life!

[willey.erd@oundleschool.org.uk 506]

Just gonna do a bit of a shameless bump. I've got nothing new to show unfortunately but I need others to catch on to this if it's gonna get going without me driving the whole thing. :D

Made a pull request for the textures. Didn't have a clue how/where/what to say though!

Hello there,

That would be a comment from me too. I think that one needs to really look at real life composition/design styles of cans/containers etc to get a truly real feel.

Also, wear and tear/crumples/crinkles/dents are key.

I still think its a great effort though.

[sausagekingofchicago 4711]

Try messing with the _nohq image. You can get a lot of subtle detail like crumples and even a paper/fabric effects with it. For example, the rings on the sides of the tin cans in the communityassets are simulated this way. Editing it by hand can go a long way to show you how it all works and ties together but you might need a plugin to create your own proper _nohq texture in the Gimp.

There's some decent modding tutorials for Skyrim that explain a lot of the same maps in a friendly way. They're worth watching if you want to pick up a bit of knowledge and if you just like to watch people make cool stuff. They've actually inspired me quite a bit and I'm going to try my hand at modeling in 3ds Max again when I try to mod Arma3.

[willey.erd@oundleschool.org.uk 506]

Yeah, bear in mind I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to a lot of this. :blush:

Thanks for the comments however, I'll see what I can do when I have a moment (which I currently don't).

Saying that, I'm gonna look at the ingame pasta/frank+beans/beans etc and see what they're doing!

[OrLoK 16182]

Inga, you're doing a great job. dont stop.

Same. I'm honestly not that far ahead of you on this little journey we're taking. :)

@SeniorOrlok, I have no idea. It merely pleases me to behave in a certain way on what appears to be a forum of some sort.

Haha, not a bad attempt - keep at it!

I am looking at _nohq's at the moment. Joey's cans don't seem to have any. :huh:

[willey.erd@oundleschool.org.uk 506]

Someone help me!

The RVMAT I found with Joey's cans contain no reference to a nohq - I have created a normal map for it anyway on request. How would I modify the RVMAT to recognise this? Anyone? :rolleyes:

[Private Evans 1303]

there should be two stage configs...the first one for the normal map, the second for the texture ( use "add stage" if there is only one)

[Talibambi 119]

Why isnt there a "Kevin Bacon Juice" yet? Im suprised. Genuinely.

OK, what, in O2?

[Private Evans 1303]

if you open your RVMAT (or Mat Editor in o2) you should see the stage config including your textures path, you have to add another stage config and add the path for the normal maps
