For example start off with vertical lines at the bottom and gradually going into more cliff like rocks at the top.įor this one I choose a mainly horizontal direction since it will be a cliff wall. If you are to create a set of modular rocks it can be a good idea to try and keep a gradient of line direction in your rocks. I bring this up because if you try to create a very deep rock texture while not having any major directions either vertically, horizontally or diagonal it will most likely turn out very weirdly looking. For cliffs they usually have a horizontal direction. This highly depends on what kind of rock wall you are trying to create. When I have previously created rocks I have noticed that you will always have to try and have some kind of direction in your textures. I basically started off using the "Mallet Fast" brush with "Free Hand" setting applied and a square Brush Alpha with soft edges. I recommend using a matte material straight away in ZBrush so you will not be chocked by the actual depths you are going to need to use during this proceedure. The workflow will be very similar except this time around you will need to really work with a whole lot of depth and high intensity settings. Just like the rough stone tutorial the base of the normal map will be created in ZBrush. So if you intend to create a seamless tiling material of this read that section (right below the "HIGHPOLY" section). I added a new section where I go through some tips on howto make your mesh tilable.
I used ZBrush, 3DS Max and Photoshop for this example. PSD file containing the texture files in this example. I highly recommend you to at least quickly read through some of the steps on the highpoly in the Rough Stone tutorial before reading this one as some similar steps are not described in the same detail in this tutorial.ĭownload link to the. This is the second tutorial covering rougher stone materials, this time we will create a cliff wall.
