Slightly off-topic: how does relief mods actually work? Does depth info is taken only from height alpha channel in spec, or from height and normal combined? Relief gets completely screwed at brush edges, unless borders of normal are at highest z position and flat. I'm asking, because i'm wondering if making edges flat of only height map would make relief proper while normalmap edge details would be still present, could work for tileable wall panels.

The heightmaps were poorly autogenerated from the normal map using some sort of finite differencing scheme. The problem is that the generation program had a nasty tendency to 'dip' the top left corner down somewhat, resulting in weird dents that resemble stairs somewhat. This has nothing to do with the algorithm, just sub-par art assets.

Please consider my humble request to generate Ambient Occlusion maps as well! Or you can bake AO into diffusemap if you want to like Rage. Storing AO as a separate texture would allow people to apply the AO based on direction of the light. Also, ambient lighting done using AO maps would be much more accurate.
Ambient Occlusion either baked in diffuse or as a separate map(that requires a small shader change) would give nice illusion of geometric shape due to natural soft shading.

I don't use relief mod for now. As I remember there were some strange distortions near the edges of my textures when I used my high maps with relief mod. I can give u few of my textures to test it. Modelling and drawing and job takes a lot of my time, I just can't test my textures in all ways at that time.

The alpha channel is already used for a couple of different things, would probably be best to just either include the AO as a seperate greyscale map, or to bake it into the diffuse color. Including it in the alpha just risks creating incompatibility issues.

Okey. I'll bake it into diffuse. It's not hard.

Well that's the nature of relief maps
, as i wrote earlier, there will be artifacts, unless edge of the texture, which lands at the edge of the brush is not at highest, zero point of depth. relief simulates 3d object from height map by taking the highest point in the height map and 'pushing inside' the rest of the texture. So if the edge of height map isn't at absolute zero z position (full white), edge will be 'pushed inside' and reveal the "pushed inside" edge of another tile of the texture. Luckly i get holiday break from hospital to go home and i'll check, both the look of height map and is there way to just draw unwanted dent's white, so edge won't be pushed into the texture. I think i tried it earlier and shader actually did not see that and pushed inside the detailed edge from normal map instead of height o_o, but i have to recheck that.

there already is
, check the topic IDtech4 shaders pack, made by Sikk, there are 42 flavours of shaders, with two different models of ambient, self-shadowing, relief, parallax, you can choose which ever You want with all the features You want. i wouldn't suggest investing in parallax though, it's mess and give You artifacts too. Relief is much better and the way to go, if You want to invest your time in height maps.
Also, while we are at it, what ambient occlusion stages actually do and what's the benefit of having them?
Theftbot@Posted: Thu Dec 24, 2009 1:44 am :
TRSGM@Posted: Thu Dec 24, 2009 2:06 am : AO is a complicated topic, mostly because there's surprisingly no actual (direct) basis for the effect in reality. Instead of launching into a complicated monologue with lots of fancy words, I'll let
Wikipedia do the talking for me. It even has pictures!
Unfortunately we can't do a correct implementation of the effect as it stands, but generally you can make something that looks close by 'baking,' or pre-applying the technique into the diffuse texture. It isn't identical, but you get a lot of the same visual cues.

I'm working on the tutorial... By the way, I can understand that I can't redraw all the textures of Doom3. It's inpossible. The count of the textures is more then 2000
But...
I did 100+
I will redraw 200. I'm sure I will.
It's 10%.
If I'll be not the one...I hope...

This is first part of the tutorial.
"Modelling the textures":
http://slil.ru/28504905In a few days there will be the second:
"Baking the textures"
and the third:
"Drawing the textures"
As vertex007 said and I think it's great idea. I will post here the name of every texture that is allready made. So anyone can join the project without redoing textures that anyone else already did. I gues there's should be the way of transfer textures with those, who is working on it. I don't want post all pack untill it's all done. Thinking about all of it.

You don't need to use black and white spec maps, infact, I would say NOT using them for most surfaces as it provides a much cleaner result. Also, even if you DID wnat to use a B&W spec map, you shouldn't save it as 32bit, as its not needed. Save it as an 8bit greyscale, zero loss in detail but a much smaller file.

as for installing them, easiest way is to unpack the files in your D3 base folder, then make sure you have ultra high quality in the game menu and useprecompressedtextures 0 in your cfg.
reko@Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 3:31 pm : Using Precompressed textures might affect the gameplay.

.(wish I had a card which supports super-sampling AA to get rid of aliasing caused by relief mapping)
I am running it with Super-sampling on my GTX 295, using nHancer. 2x2 SSAA is just perfect because i can still manage to keep over 40fps with the brilliant highlights mod included, gonna try the HDR mod by sikk but i think my fps will go down quite a lot with the effects/techniques he use in that mod...
Though i can't seem to run 3x3 or 4x4 SSAA because only the SSAA+MSAA combined modes are working, thus 2x2SSAA+2,4 or 8x additional AA. And i've heard it's because Id Tech4 is running in OpenGL, so ive heard.
But hands down, Doom 3 with this texture mod + additional shadermods or mod packs such as the HDR mod here, makes the game look fantastic! even compared or better than todays games...

Maybe there's a way to implement tessellation? I know little of that area so... Anyway what we more need is optimization or faster gfx cards. Cuz i can't stay over 20 - 25 fps sometimes when soft-shadows are enabled. And that's on a GTX 295 card.

Slightly off-topic: how does relief mods actually work? Does depth info is taken only from height alpha channel in spec, or from height and normal combined? Relief gets completely screwed at brush edges, unless borders of normal are at highest z position and flat. I'm asking, because i'm wondering if making edges flat of only height map would make relief proper while normalmap edge details would be still present, could work for tileable wall panels.

The heightmaps were poorly autogenerated from the normal map using some sort of finite differencing scheme. The problem is that the generation program had a nasty tendency to 'dip' the top left corner down somewhat, resulting in weird dents that resemble stairs somewhat. This has nothing to do with the algorithm, just sub-par art assets.

Please consider my humble request to generate Ambient Occlusion maps as well! Or you can bake AO into diffusemap if you want to like Rage. Storing AO as a separate texture would allow people to apply the AO based on direction of the light. Also, ambient lighting done using AO maps would be much more accurate.
Ambient Occlusion either baked in diffuse or as a separate map(that requires a small shader change) would give nice illusion of geometric shape due to natural soft shading.

I don't use relief mod for now. As I remember there were some strange distortions near the edges of my textures when I used my high maps with relief mod. I can give u few of my textures to test it. Modelling and drawing and job takes a lot of my time, I just can't test my textures in all ways at that time.

The alpha channel is already used for a couple of different things, would probably be best to just either include the AO as a seperate greyscale map, or to bake it into the diffuse color. Including it in the alpha just risks creating incompatibility issues.

Well that's the nature of relief maps
, as i wrote earlier, there will be artifacts, unless edge of the texture, which lands at the edge of the brush is not at highest, zero point of depth. relief simulates 3d object from height map by taking the highest point in the height map and 'pushing inside' the rest of the texture. So if the edge of height map isn't at absolute zero z position (full white), edge will be 'pushed inside' and reveal the "pushed inside" edge of another tile of the texture. Luckly i get holiday break from hospital to go home and i'll check, both the look of height map and is there way to just draw unwanted dent's white, so edge won't be pushed into the texture. I think i tried it earlier and shader actually did not see that and pushed inside the detailed edge from normal map instead of height o_o, but i have to recheck that.

there already is
, check the topic IDtech4 shaders pack, made by Sikk, there are 42 flavours of shaders, with two different models of ambient, self-shadowing, relief, parallax, you can choose which ever You want with all the features You want. i wouldn't suggest investing in parallax though, it's mess and give You artifacts too. Relief is much better and the way to go, if You want to invest your time in height maps.
Also, while we are at it, what ambient occlusion stages actually do and what's the benefit of having them?
Theftbot@Posted: Thu Dec 24, 2009 1:44 am :
TRSGM@Posted: Thu Dec 24, 2009 2:06 am : AO is a complicated topic, mostly because there's surprisingly no actual (direct) basis for the effect in reality. Instead of launching into a complicated monologue with lots of fancy words, I'll let
Wikipedia do the talking for me. It even has pictures!
Unfortunately we can't do a correct implementation of the effect as it stands, but generally you can make something that looks close by 'baking,' or pre-applying the technique into the diffuse texture. It isn't identical, but you get a lot of the same visual cues.

I'm working on the tutorial... By the way, I can understand that I can't redraw all the textures of Doom3. It's inpossible. The count of the textures is more then 2000
But...
I did 100+
I will redraw 200. I'm sure I will.
It's 10%.
If I'll be not the one...I hope...

This is first part of the tutorial.
"Modelling the textures":
http://slil.ru/28504905In a few days there will be the second:
"Baking the textures"
and the third:
"Drawing the textures"
As vertex007 said and I think it's great idea. I will post here the name of every texture that is allready made. So anyone can join the project without redoing textures that anyone else already did. I gues there's should be the way of transfer textures with those, who is working on it. I don't want post all pack untill it's all done. Thinking about all of it.

I am really looking forward to playing through Doom 3 again when you have a lot of textures down and Sikkpin releases the updated version of his mod with fully working soft shadows. With better textures and lighting I think Doom 3 will look like a whole new game.

It is not exactly tha same that I do.

You don't need to use black and white spec maps, infact, I would say NOT using them for most surfaces as it provides a much cleaner result. Also, even if you DID wnat to use a B&W spec map, you shouldn't save it as 32bit, as its not needed. Save it as an 8bit greyscale, zero loss in detail but a much smaller file.
Theftbot@Posted: Sat Feb 27, 2010 10:07 pm : Alot of the specs in doom 3 are colored. -you would be surprised how many.
AluminumHaste@Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2010 6:10 am : Amazing work, I love the extra detail provided, just one question: When can we download this?
Monoxead@Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 10:36 am : I'll try to finish testlevel mcity in a month.
Monoxead@Posted: Wed May 05, 2010 3:24 pm : Added link.
vertex007@Posted: Wed May 05, 2010 9:22 pm : Monoxead, you are doing a FANTASTIC JOB !
just walked through the mars city levels with your pack installed and all I can say is WOW
awesome textures, no glitches or issues so far, very clear ,detailed yet completely faithfull to the originals this is a dream come true and a tremendous addition to the D3 modding community.
thanks again, now I just wish you could do every other textures with the same quality in a timely manner but I know it is a damn demanding job.
I tried following your tutorials but I am not really the texture guy myself, so for now I can´t really help you but I hope someone as talented as you will join your project soon in order to speed up things a bit.

vertex007@Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 3:02 pm : the depositfiles link still works, too bad the main page is down though, lets hope Monoxead just didn't stop working on it, it would be a real shame ....
as for installing them, easiest way is to unpack the files in your D3 base folder, then make sure you have ultra high quality in the game menu and useprecompressedtextures 0 in your cfg.
reko@Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 3:31 pm : Using Precompressed textures might affect the gameplay.
seta image_useprecompressedtextures 0 in the .cfg
Z008MJ@Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 5:21 pm : Ok, i got the link to work, however, i already use a mod that requires precompressed textures, how do i go about this then?
vertex007@Posted: Tue Aug 24, 2010 2:12 am : someone has saved his tutorials by chance ?
his whole site project is gone ...

.(wish I had a card which supports super-sampling AA to get rid of aliasing caused by relief mapping)
I am running it with Super-sampling on my GTX 295, using nHancer. 2x2 SSAA is just perfect because i can still manage to keep over 40fps with the brilliant highlights mod included, gonna try the HDR mod by sikk but i think my fps will go down quite a lot with the effects/techniques he use in that mod...
Though i can't seem to run 3x3 or 4x4 SSAA because only the SSAA+MSAA combined modes are working, thus 2x2SSAA+2,4 or 8x additional AA. And i've heard it's because Id Tech4 is running in OpenGL, so ive heard.
But hands down, Doom 3 with this texture mod + additional shadermods or mod packs such as the HDR mod here, makes the game look fantastic! even compared or better than todays games...

yeah. looks awesome (+sikkpins mod

we only need better models (more polycount).

Maybe there's a way to implement tessellation? I know little of that area so... Anyway what we more need is optimization or faster gfx cards. Cuz i can't stay over 20 - 25 fps sometimes when soft-shadows are enabled. And that's on a GTX 295 card.
ViolentVocalist@Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2010 11:43 pm : Hey Monoxead!
I just wanted to say that your textures are awesome! impressing how great this game could be with your textures!
I tested mcity with all quality features enabled and it's running smooth on my machine (8800gt).
are u still working on this!?
greeetz
