Blender Tutorial - Gradient Texturing (Game Assets)

Рет қаралды 54,333

3 жыл бұрын

Learn how to use Gradient Texturing in Blender 2.9x to texture 3d models. A very efficient way of texturing game assets for mobile devices. Using gradient textures, you can make your 3d assets look so much better than using flat colors, and you can still do it by using a very small texture size!
To create a Gradient Texture, I will be using Affinity Photo. It has a very powerful, easy-to-use, and non-destructive Gradient Tool.

Thank you seven thousand times. I've been avoiding texturing for 10 years :p You're the first video that actually taught me to "be not afraid"

how to add that sky texture?

@listenheart5967 Жыл бұрын

You can scale easy to one point in UV wrapping using scale button "S" then push num "0" and thats it

@LMHPOLY Жыл бұрын

Then you won't have a gradient if UV Island is scaled down to 0. What's your point here?

@listenheart5967 Жыл бұрын

@@LMHPOLY ah, ok, I thought the purpose was to use color palete as UV texture. But here is about using gradient palette as UV. My bad.

@bluecrystalstudio402 2 жыл бұрын

It looks nice but I would be careful with painting shadow on a texture :)

@adventus8779 2 жыл бұрын

Is this a better option as opposed to using something like a toon shader? In terms of project size or is there no difference?

@mandisaw 3 ай бұрын

Two separate things. To clarify, texturing sets the base color (aka albedo), the shader determines how light interacts with that color to produce the final render "look". A typical toon shader would turn that smooth gradient shown here into distinct bands based on lighting - like dark-brown (shadows), med-brown (midtones), light-brown (highlights). Using a shared texture+material for all the objects already saves you on project size (fewer, smaller textures to ship & load), so the choice of shader is really up to what look you're going for. Having fewer shaders/materials overall will improve performance, again since there are fewer to load, but what those shaders/materials are is entirely up to you (and what your device/target supports).

Good job! How come the end result is not pixelated with such a low texture size (especially the ground asset) ?

@LMHPOLY 3 жыл бұрын

By default, Blender uses 'Linear' interpolation for the 'Image Texture' rendering. Change it to 'Closest' and your texture will show up every pixel like in Minecraft. Basically, it's the result of how Blender renders the Texture.

which image editing program were u using?

@LMHPOLY 7 ай бұрын

Affinity Photo. It's probably the best image editing software that can fully replace Photoshop and no subscriptions, buy one time only! I highly recommend it as an artist.

how did you use sky texture. i cant find any options for that plzz help.

@LMHPOLY Жыл бұрын

When you open the *World Properties* tab (0:22), you will see a *Color* option and a little yellow circle near that. Press on that yellow circle and choose *Sky Texture*. Then set it to *Preetham* - the one I used in this video. P.S. I'm using Eevee render engine.

How did you make that sky background for blender? Just the gradient?

@LMHPOLY 3 жыл бұрын

I used 'Skybox Texture' and EEVEE render engine. Go to 'Shading' tab at the top and change Nodes from 'Object' to 'World'. Add 'Sky Texture' node and set it to 'Preetham'. Set Turbidity to 2.100. That's the setting s I've used in the video.
