HD Planes / Textures

[Alex Ros]

It's better to upload complete pack of textures. I mean not only diffuse, but also normal, specular and height maps. Diffuse alone is nice but... you know, it's something that is not ready for usage...

I found that the grass textures did not really need the norm & specular maps. Bumping certain grass-type plains looks corny to me. I could try giving it a shot on my next attempt just to see the result! I feel that the specular is not really nessisary on the others either. I tend only to use specular maps on metalish objects. The shine is not nessisary on grass, stone or sand!

You're absolutely right bout not trying to make normals for grass, that would be useless. But the ground itself do need some curvings, bumpings, you know. As for specular some might need specs for rainy weather and wet effects, no less, no more.

I'm using PixPlant2 for the tiling-gen. It is very customizable so I will definitely try to improve the tilings! The only thing holding me back is that I am not very experienced with the program yet.

That's cool, because that's the most pro generator. Of course, nothing in comparison to baking normals, but among generators PixPlant is the best. With PixPlant you could surely make a much better tiling.
