Title: Artstation – Roof Tile Texture – Complete Workflow From 3D Modeling to Photoshop by Thiago Klafke
Info:
In this tutorial, I show how you can quickly model tiling textures using your preferred modeling package, finishing it up in Photoshop.
Summary
I will start with a simple roof tile, and lay it out in a tileable pattern. I then create variation by duplicating and tweaking the original tiles, and randomizing each tiles position/scale/rotation.
Next, I fix any overlapping errors by hand. Once my high-poly is finished, I bring the baked maps to Photoshop, and use a combination of photo sources and hand-painted details to finish the texture.
Workflow
If you are familiar with other software, such as Zbrush and Substance, you should be able to integrate them in different parts of the workflow (for example, you can leverage SD’s procedural tools to create masks, and Zbrush to sculpt the individual tiles).
This workflow can be used to create all sorts of textures: Sidewalks, stone or brick walls, tile floors, you name it.
This is how I create most of my textures for Overwatch, and the goal of this tutorial is to teach how to make hand-crafted textures like this.
Software used
Maya, Photoshop, nDO, XNormal
Requirements
Basic knowledge of a 3D modeling package and Photoshop.
Warning:Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus, and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the installed app. Some of the materials posted here are grabbed from CGPeers, so it could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link (higher than 30% positive result). Thank you.
