🧠 "When your first UV map EVER has to be a complex project and end up looking just like a subway map. Baking became a full-body workout that required numerous attempts. Still, I pushed through and will be included in Greenhouse Haven Reloaded pt. 1 with 10+ swatches and BGC! 💪🎨 #blenderpain

consider for a moment the following playing card: the windows xp era queen of spades

while the face card bitmaps in cards.dll are paletted to have 16 colours, they only use your bog standard rgbcmykw 8 colours that we know and love. but I like messing with colour gamut and so was playing with this, and got struck by something of no consequence to anyone but me:

when you apply a positional dithering map to this image to reduce it to 1 bit, note how the bottom half looks different from the top half: that's fucked. These cards are an even number of pixels, but for them to actually cohere they *need* vertical symmetry, and so naiively applying positional dithering to them ends up looking dreadful.

course, that's less satisfying bc it took manual intervention to duplicate the top of the card, but it's kinda interesting to me.

The Sims 3 Material Painter Final Version

UPDATE

I've updated the painter, and with it, included some new things as well as a fully interactive tutorial on how to use it.

NEEDED Prerequisites:

Blender 4.2+

Blender Paint System Addon - HERE (you can donate to the original creator, or get it for free, great little plugin!)

THE TUTORIAL

The tutorial is extensive, done in numbered steps, and is UI and workflow oriented, allowing you to click on any relevant UI element to learn more about it, and how it relates to the complete workflow. There's an additional, advanced chapter, for people who are interested in learning more about blender texture painter's functionality and techniques.

PAINTER ADDITIONS

The Painter has been slightly fixed, with multiplier's lines and depth shading being shifted to the correct depth, and with AO being more pronounced. This will make multiplier output even more accurate. Added some new minor tweaks to UI and Color Palettes to accommodate for the tutorial.

DOWNLOAD

Get updated templates with new files HERE!

If you only want to access the tutorial, you can do it HERE.

You can access the original post below:

Been working on a tool that easily creates The Sims 3 material maps based only on a few texture layers, most of it derived from height data. This was done long time ago, but very sloppily, and it was not at all approachable.

Discovering THIS free blender add-on that lets you plaint layers in it, made me return to this project and finalize it for release.

The tool can export:

- Multiplier, RGB+A

- Normal Map, RGB+A

- CAST Map, RGB+A

- Specular Map

- Overlay, RGB+A

OLD VERSION BELOW!

//~~Get it HERE, and please, make sure to get THIS blender plugin, it's NEEDED for this to work. Blender 4.2+ is also needed for these to work together.~~//

since this discussion got brought back somewhat i feel like i should clarify a bit exactly where and how in my process i will consider using ai generated images. i think i've talked about it in passing before but i think it's been maybe even multiple years since that point. the thing i think ai is extremely, uniquely good at is making textures.

here are some images i've generated with the VQGAN+CLIP generator through google colab. i believe i was using the imagenet_16384 model because that's the default and I was mostly just fucking around with no particular end goal to these images

from there i'll take them into photoshop and tweak them to make them more useful for overlaying. This just involves adjusting color and value but some get more involved filtering if the mood strikes me.

Here's a few drawings that have used these textures. Left is a map of where each texture is being used, center and right are the final image and the image without any of the ai generated textures respectively, so you can toggle between them and compare.

This first one has the most going on texture-wise because I was working on it in tandem with generating the images, and I wanted to try out as many of them as i could.

These next two are a bit more restrained in the texture department.

That's more or less it really. I might have used these textures on a couple of other images but I'm not sure if they've made their way into any other finished illustrations, mostly because i haven't been finishing things lately. i don't have any kind of conclusion or point to be made here, i just thought some people might find this interesting and it might clear some stuff up about what I personally mean when I talk about using generative AI as a tool in your workflow. although this hardly represents the be-and-end-all of what i think is possible or acceptable in that area.

edit: oops, accidentally uploaded a version of that second illustration where i had removed an entire folder of lighting and color adjustments that had nothing to do with the texturing. fixed now.
