"How many pictures from the same poses can you take?"

"yes"

[felidae-sims]

Look what I found! This tool is so good.

Found it through github, it produces all types of maps. Haven't seen it being mentioned anywhere... I used a Maxis floor as an example. It produced very nice results on images of floors I got online.

Simsxolove Hairs - Alternative Versions

Store FunFlower and MSS RoSweet

It was brought to my attention by @notgonnapostanythinghere that some of Simsxolove's conversions ended up with a multiple of their intended polygon count. Most likely this happened because the five morphs were accidentally merged and then TSRW created new morphs for that mesh.

Long story short, there was no way to fix it but to reconvert the hairs from scratch.

So strictly speaking, the child-hairs aren't fixes, they're entirely new conversions. I converted the FunFlower hair with the flowers. They can be removed in the second preset.

DL: RoSweet SFS | DB // FunFlower SFS | DB

Two hairs from Island Paradise BGC were also reported for multiplied polygon count. So I reconverted those too.

"WetMess" is pretty much the same as the original. For "WavyAfro" I added the face-scalp- and specular-textures that were missing from Simsxolove's. I also made a normalmap, which the original IP hair doesn't have. So the filesize is larger than Simsxolove's, but the polygon count is EA's as it should be. This makes my version a shade lighter than the one in game. Personally I think this brings out the curls better with dark hair-colours.

alleeee i love your work!! quick question: i was scrolling through youre gamedev tag and i love how the environments look... i was wondering, do you paint the textures for your environments or are you using photos? i love the overall look and i wanna try replicating it with my own work :3 thank youuuu <3

The environments are primarily photos! Mishmashes of stock images I got from awhile ago now. Details like small prop posters, signs, etc are painted however

What's also helpful for me is to use this normalmap maker if you want some tasty crunchy normals: https://cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-Online/

Adele's Ramsay Living for TS3

2 years ago, on a fateful evening, I decided to convert this set to TS3. Although this had already been converted, I had my reasons to do my own conversion. Long story short, there were things that I didn't like and things that I liked.

One thing that I liked in the previous conversion was the effort to make the table tops glass. So I experimented with the Basic Shower which is supposed to have frosted glass. I don't know why EA use horrible textures; when you replace the NormalMap with a proper frosted glass texture it looks amazing.

So, using this knowledge as a base, I worked on the frosted glass table tops and after countless failures, I finally managed to have the effect I wanted. The key is having the right values for UVSelector parameters in the shader.

I also changed the textures for the bottle; tried to recreate it as a multiplier. Then made another version. Bottles are semi-transparent glass and recolourable. Don't ask me how I made them - I don't remember. But I if have to guess, there is this tutorial that I know of. The first part is about recolourable glass.

I wasn't feeling Adele's art for the painting. So, I used the recolours made by @timeparadoxsims. The artist is @len-yan and the art is amazing. If any of them want me to remove the painting from my downloads, I will do so but cry inwardly. 😢

I know people hate reading and just want to download but THIS IS IMPORTANT: Several items share textures. So you need to have the 'masters' in your game for the 'slaves' to work. I will group them and explain further.

The Loveseat is the master for the following objects: Armchair, Sofa, End Table (Solid Top), Coffee Table (Solid Top).

Loveseat, Armchair, Sofa -> 4 Channels - 2 presets with second being Adele's black overlay & metal and wood parts still CAStable.

Loveseat Polycount -> HLOD: 1746 MLOD: 702

Armchair Polycount -> HLOD: 1578 MLOD: 726

Sofa Polycount -> HLOD: 1962 MLOD: 1096

End Table, Coffee Table -> 3 Channels - 1 Preset

End Table Polycount -> HLOD: 710 MLOD: 444

Coffee Table Polycount -> HLOD: 1322 MLOD: 720

The Cushions for Loveseat is the master for following objects: The Cushion for Armchair, The Cushions for Sofa.

All Cushions -> 1 channel, 3 different multipliers - 5 Presets with 2 of them being overlays. You don't need moveobjects on to place them on their appropriate seating. If you use alt to place the seating you need to use alt to place the cushions as well.

Loveseat & Sofa Cushions Polycount -> HLOD: 160 MLOD: 80

Armchair Cushions Polycount -> HLOD: 80 MLOD: 40

The Glass Top End Table is the master for The Glass Top Coffee Table.

Both tables have 1 Channel & 1 Preset. Polys are same as the solid tops.

Decorative Bottles

Both have 1 Channel & 1 Preset.

Polycount -> HLOD: 242 MLOD: 119

Decorative Vase

3 Channels - 2 Presets

Polycount -> HLOD: 446 MLOD: 344

Large Frame Painting

1 Channel - 18 Presets

Polycount -> HLOD: 82 MLOD: 64

I've also included the collection file which comes with its own icon for easy recognition. As always, I might have missed something; if you find anything weird don't hesitate to tell me so I can try and fix it. I hope you'll enjoy this beautiful set by talented Adele. Happy simming.

Some Tips for new DBH modders

This will have 2 sections :

1 . QUANTIC dream textures - getting them stable throughout the game

2. Handy tool I found for normal maps.

QD TEXTURES - MY TOOL KEEPS BREAKING?

this is for the 2 ppl that actually mod Detroit and want to make their mods public and usable the entire game. and don't know abt this.

As you probably know, models ( containers ) share textures. So when you update a quantic dream texture for 1 model you need to update every single container/model that shares that texture or else it'll look black and crash your game. Why? because your game is expecting the file in qd format for that container when it's a dds file now.

But I'm sure youve noticed after the 3rd or so containers texture being 'refreshed' ( inserting the texture for each use of it in the tool) it just breaks. The only way around this is to tell the game it should expect a dds format manually.

Ok enough yapping. Here’s the tutorial :

Add your texture like you normally would in the editor. Do this for only one model, u can do it for more just before it crashes if u want too it shouldn’t affect it, I haven’t tested it tho.

Enable editing for all the containers/models that use that texture. So it clones it.

Now,, Repeat these steps for every texture that needs to be made into dds format other than the ones you changed in the editor:

1.Using Rk900 (INTO_3) as an example, I swapped the connor into_2 model face texture so now we need to tell the game to expect a dds for nines face. Get the offset of nines’ face  texture. It’s SUPER important that the INTO_3 container is cloned as the offset will be different.

2.go to ( ctrl + g ) to the offset in d26 file. (so 80F5B90F)

3.change the following : we start at ‘0E’ for this example.

Change the 14th and 19th bytes (02) to 01 . it should look like this now

The hex code will change for each texture, but it will always be the 14th and 19th bytes.

4.Repeat for all textures and models that use them :)

Your tool will now load the containers correctly ( they will appear black still, but it will work ingame.)

USEFUL TOOL FOR CREATING NORMAL MAPS:

Normal maps are what gives flat surfaces fake 3d-ness without actually being there ! An example of this is the pores of dbh characters. Normal maps basically allow us to use less polygons which is good for efficiency:))

How do normal maps work ? Well all digital images contain 3 color channels : Red, Green and Blue (RGB) , what normal maps do is assign x,y,z values to these channels. So red would be the x value, green is the y value , blue is the z value . These give us the fake 3d values for each pixel that alter how our game calculates the light ( surface normals ) .

I use this website to generate my normal maps from height maps :

Height maps are black and white images that tell us the height (z value) of each pixel, typically white is high,black is low. Here is an example of the sylus mask I made :

IMPORTANT!! 99% of dbh’s normal maps DONT have a blue channel ( z value) so you HAVE to remove the blue channel completely after generating it from here.

This was how my modified face texture looked like after nuking the blue channel ( in gimp you have to go to colors -> Components -> decompose and delete the blue channel then recompose it )

^^ basically i overlayed the new normal map over connors original one.

Ok thats it. idk if this helps anyone but here u go :P

Pls correct me if I’m wrong abt anything, I’m small brain tbh

theres a grass texture found all over the screenshots and footage from 2006

something it appears to still be in the game, such as grass_side.rw4 and grass_top.rw4 here, from Spore_Graphics.package/animations~

what actually looks more similar is these two textures, 0x71604B37 and 0x90156C6B. the one on the right is similar to the left one but with differently applied shading

theres more unused grass textures. 0x1387C5B8, 0xCE8D1CC5 and 0xE7CB4C7B have this rather blobby looking grass

theres also shanGrass-textureMap and shanGrass-normalMap, MIPgrass-textureMap and normal map. those seem to be the only grass textures with normal maps. though the shanGrass normal map texture is completely opaque compared to the other one, and the texture map is brighter on shanGrass than MIPgrass. all of these also appear to have mipmap textures

theres also smallGrass_terra and mediumGrass_terra

and theres some more unused grass

anyway as you can see almost all of it is rendered as a 3d model initially, and then baked into textures. the final grass has some renders from the flora editor too (shown with the middle row grasses in grass_organic) but

a good amount of them (grass_claymation and grass_coral shown) appear to just be drawn as 2d art already, in a sort of similar artstyle to the editor backgrounds

curiously most of the used grasses have images like this with a square of 9 grasses, and a vertical strip file. then theres an unused grass_tallgrass_strip that doesnt have a non-strip variation

EDIT: this posts a big milestone

Guide: How to Make TF2 Water Animated

(Images by hisanimations)

A guide on how to make TF2 water animated using hisanimations' map pack resources. As well as how to animate TF2 waterfalls and other water that uses scrolling textures.

A brief history on TF2 water porting

A previous version of the TF2 map pack port by hisanimations worked differently with handling water textures.

hisanimations: "Texture Scrolling - Waterfalls, vortexes, spooky portals, they all have a Geometry Nodes nodegroup to control the scrolling. If you find one missing, you can report it, or add it yourself. The scrolling is tied to time itself, so no matter what framerate you have, the speed will always be the same." -May 2023 TF2 Map Pack announcement: [link not available for Tumblr]

As of the October 2024 update of the TF2 map pack (now renamed the SEBC, or Source Engine Blender Collection), materials are set up differently to help animators and artists save up on file space. However, the water_animation folder (containing image frames for the water's normal map) is no longer included in the maps folder, which was used to animate the water. You'll need to do some things to restore it.

This guide is to help recreate the water animations from the previous TF2 Map Pack. It is basically a description of the method hisanimations used for the TF2 Map Pack.

Making TF2 water animated

hisanimations: "By default, the water is not animated, but there is a way to make it animated. Within every water material, there should be an animated texture node. To apply it, select the world mesh. Go to edit mode. Select the mesh that has the water material. Localize the material and swap the node links. Enable Cyclic and [Auto Refresh], and it should now be animated." -[OUTDATED] I Ported EVERY TF2 Map to Blender [OUTDATED], Chapter: The Improvements: Water Animation, 6:14 of video.

This section is for large bodies of water, like the water beneath the bridge in the map 2Fort.

First, download the water_animation.zip folder.

[file: zip download not available for Tumblr]

Extract it. Make sure the image frames are directly inside the folder, with the folder named water_animation. Place this folder somewhere you'll remember, like inside the _materials folder of your SEBC folder.

Open the .blend of the map you want. Select the part of the mash that contains the water. In the Material Properties tab, select the water material slot (if the slot list is long, uncollapse the little triangle button to unhide the search text parser and type in water to narrow down results).

In the Shader Editor, select Add > Texture > Image Texture to add an image texture node. In the new node, select Open. In the new window, find and select the water_animation folder and select the first frame of the image frames inside (tfwater001_normal_00.png). Set the node from Single Image to Image Sequence. Set Frames to 60. Checkmark on Cyclic and Auto Refresh. Set the Color Space to Non-Color.

Plug this image sequence node into the water material's shader so that it replaces the $normalmap Image Texture node.

The water should now be animated as you scrub through the timeline.

Adding water reflections

This section is for creating a more accurate water effect, like for shots where you want a merc's reflection in the water.

hisanimations: "In Eevee, [in the Render Properties tab,] enable Screen Space Reflections to get reflections off the water. You can add a reflection plane to make the reflections more accurate." -[OUTDATED] I Ported EVERY TF2 Map to Blender [OUTDATED], Chapter: The Extras, 10:41 of video.

To turn on reflections: In the Render Properties tab, enable Screen Space Reflections

To add a reflection plane: Select Add > Light Probe > Plane (or Reflection Plane, depending on your version of Blender)

Change the size or scaling of the plane, and place it just below the surface of the water.

Animating waterfalls

This section is for animating waterfalls and water that uses an image texture.

hisanimations: "Things like waterfalls and vortexes in game have animated textures. Which means you'll see them shift to fake movement. This has also been implemented in the map pack, but because there's no way for me to automatically add them some models, may lack this animation." -[OUTDATED] I Ported EVERY TF2 Map to Blender [OUTDATED], Chapter: The Features: Texture Scrolling, 3:02 of video.

Firstly, download hisanimations water.blend and custom.blend files:

hisanimations: animated waterfalls - put into _materials [attached .blend files: water.blend, custom.blend]: [link not available for Tumblr]

[file downloads not available for Tumblr]

Place them in the _materials folder of your SEBC.

The waterfalls should now be animated on you TF2 maps in the SEBC when you open them and scrub through the timeline.

Animating other waters: Texture scrolling

The waterfall texture scrolling should work with any textures that tiles (example: green nuclearwaste.png on TF2 maps).

To use it for another, open the map file you want. Then select File > Append… Then in the new window, locate the custom.blend or water.blend file in the _materials folder of the SEBC. In the folders you see inside the file, select Material > custom/waterfall002_solid. Its data will now be inside your .blend file.

Select the mesh with the water/liquid you want to animate with a texture scroll. In the Material Properties tab, select the material slot for the liquid. In the Shader Editor, note the name of the current material. Switch to the material waterfall002_solid. Select and copy the nodes for the material that are plugged to the left of the #basetexture Image Texture node.

Switch back to the previous shader material for the liquid. Paste in the nodes. Plug the Add node to the Vector of the image texture node of the material. To make the speed of the animation slower, decrease the value of the Multiply's bottom-most Value property from 1.2.

What this guide doesn't cover

Below are water effects I haven't been able to make a guide for at the time of writing. Feel free to make a guide for these:

Adding water waves on shores (banana Bay, beaches, etc.) (I think it's animated using the same methodology as other scrolling textures, but I haven't been able to confirm it at the time of writing.)

Water trails (from boats/mercs moving through the water)

Water splash decals (shooting at the water)

Animating caustics (underwater light)

Rain and Raindrops (Sawmill map, etc.)

I think I can adjust the existing wing corrective blendshapes to also fix feather translation.

Longterm is make editable layers and pattern masks, and more bird species blendshapes

and a Medium wingless variant

and a talons-behind variant with attendant dragon tail blendshape

and an alt muscular heightmap/aobake/normalmap

and a gravid blendshape (waffling on this one because I don’t want people thinking of it as the fuckgryphon, but I had someone ask) (and I don’t want it added, like, badly)

and an edit to Morghus’ free dragon wings to duct tape them to the hypothetical wingless dragontail talonsbehind model.

And then a dragon face for it, in a Windstone Editions honoring way.

And somewhere in there, an IK Assist verson, that does IK on the foreleg pickup and headpuppet modes. I simply will not ever do any more IK than that on a model.
