hardcore_gamer Posted April 17, 2018 2 minutes ago, DoomKrakken said: I WANT THIS. :D Can this technique be applied to HUD and actor sprites too? Yes, but the problem with applying them to actor sprites is that you would need pbr texture maps for every single frame of animation and all of them would have to be made manually pretty much. This would take a LONG time to do. 1 Share this post Link to post

I could be wrong but I assume you would just create custom actors/monsters that are the same as the originals but then also assign them the pbr maps. This might not be the best way to do it though. And lmao at your "NO PROBLEM" reply. Don't think you realize how long this would take. 1 Share this post Link to post

A man can dream... I'm pretty sure you can do that... At the very least with ZScript. The code would be hellish and for some levels it'd eat insane amounts of CPU (10sector.wad, I'm looking at you) but I think it's doable. 1 Share this post Link to post

hardcore_gamer Posted April 17, 2018 2 minutes ago, Sergeant_Mark_IV said: I think this looks better than any "HD Texture Packs" out there. That's because without PBR HD textures just look like high resolution images glued to a model. Which they are. PBR textures aren't even really textures in the conventional sense, they are just instructions telling the engine how to render the textures. Which parts look like metal, how smooth they are, how to react to light etc. 1 Share this post Link to post

Arl Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) About making PBR for sprites, let me first do a test and then we can talk about how such thing would be too demanding to actually be achievable.

Avoozl Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) I am not sure how I feel about it being as complex as it is, I wish it was using a more simple method with less as many textures. Edited May 1, 2018 by Avoozl 0 Share this post Link to post

hardcore_gamer Posted April 17, 2018 1 minute ago, Cacodemon345 said: I even attempted to shoot a plasma rifle but nothing happened... The way I did it is that I put all the texture maps into the auto folders and named them the same thing as my main texture. Also make sure they are png true color. 0 Share this post Link to post

snapshot Posted April 17, 2018 On 12/04/2018 at 8:29 AM, Arl said: I also struggle with this. Fist make sure name conventions are correct, I don't know if you separate 'normal maps' in this post or you actualy have the folder named like that, when is actually 'normalmaps' without spaces. Next, note that PBR require four kinds of textures (normal map, AO, roughness, metallic) while simple Normal map requires two (normal map, specular), let's say that these are two diferent circustances. If you lack or put something extra in any of those circustances you'll get nothing in game. The only texture that is required and work in both circustances is the normal map. Another think that gave me problems was the names of the textures, since I was looking at the patches in WXE qhile the actual textures Doom uses are the combined patches defines in the TEXTURE lump, so there is where I needed to look out for the texture names. FLATS are unchange and the name stays the same as the graphics you can se in, for instance, XWE. Also, make sure to have everything okey in Options/display options/dynamic light options. And to have 'Load Lights' checked in the GZDoom launcher. I tried to define a GLDEFS with no avail. Here's how I solved it, thx again @Arl 0 Share this post Link to post

Bauul Posted April 17, 2018 12 hours ago, Avoozl said: I am not sure how I feel about it being like Doom 3's style with the four different textures, I wish it was using a more simple method. Doom 3 just used normal + specular if I remember correctly. So only 3 textures. We've leapfrogged that by a fair few years and have gone right to PBR which uses five maps. This isn't "Doom 3 style", this is "every game style". 5 Share this post Link to post
Avoozl Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Well it's a bit too hard to be specific in what I was trying to say, but my memory made me think it was either Quake 4 or Doom 3 so I didn't know what else to say, but there are games that came out years later than those games such as Oblivion which only required two textures and had optional textures for other effects such as glow. 0 Share this post Link to post

I use Substance Designer and I noticed that GZDoom won't accept any textures that program exports, including color ones. Not sure why that is, but only after I open and save each PNG in Paint do they work in the game. Try saving all of your PBR textures in Paint then re-import them. 0 Share this post Link to post
