Beardmonkey's stuff

[_Beardmonkey 449]

I'm working on a few new decals and I'm pretty happy with the way they look with the LUT I'm using at the moment (Satellite). Without the LUT active though, maybe not so great… What do you guys think? Is it acceptable?

[Judazzz 1,936]

Awesome!!! I'm using those decals way too much  

[BoraBora 5]

Is it acceptable? Seriously? It's terrific! Who's not using a good, realistic LUT, anyway?

Yeah, exactly!

I forgot to adress the issue of texture size. This is my plan for future decal releases:

1x1 units (8x8 m) = 512x512 px
2x2 units (16x16 m) = 1024x1024 px
4x4 units (32x32 m) = 2048x2048 px

If you think this is all wrong let me know please!

Maybe don't put a blanket resolution for all decals the same size.

For example the skid marks decal I made is 64x64 yet it's just 512x512, because there is no detail necessary.

Judge each decal seperately, also you can use any size for the mesh, doesn't need to be powers of 2 or square.

You have a point I guess. I'll have that in mind.

Ok, I didn't know that! But textures still needs to be powers of two, right?

Yeah.

[Avanya 2,605]

Uh, looks great!  I'd say they fit the look of the game without LUTs too. So should look good with any LUT or none. 

[dreesedatalink 15]

looks awesome.  just like everything else you have uploaded!

Hehe! I have a few more assets for the junkyard coming your way this weekend so make sure you have plenty of space for it!

[_Beardmonkey 449]

Phew! Man, do I love working in the asset editor and uploading pics and thumbnails on steam! Talk about creative torture!

Enough whining though and on to the good news!

Eight new decals avalible on the workshop. You can find all of them in my deal collection:

Here's a sneak peak:

Great work! And thanks for blowing up my assets folder I was trying to keep manageable.

[dreesedatalink 15]

gave them all the  in the workshop.

[Ronyx69 2,413]

Nice to see more variety in decals, I'm tired of seeing mine all the time. "Oh it's that same big dirt decal with the white rock in the corner for 100th time."

The game lacks texture variety so people fill up everything with trees and props, decals are the best solution for otherwise empty areas.

Right back at ya! I hold you responsible for the my messed up middle mouse finger! Way too much scrolling in the tree section

Haha! I still love your decals even though I've used them so many times.

Thanks! Nice shot! That manicured grass looks really good!

Ok, so I just found myself placing rock decals on my cliffs and grass decals on the grass today... What has detailing made of me?

Jokes aside, decals in general (and yours of course) are awesome indeed! IRL a lot of areas are quite empty, and these decals add so much life to them! And your rock decal is a great alternative to cover my cliff texture. I'd like to use a 4k map theme but Theme Mixer currently doesn't like mixing 4k and regular textures (scale issue)...

It's almost like they were meant to work together, eh? @_Beardmonkey lol ;-)
You do excellent work, thanks for sharing your creations.

nice detailing work @dreesedatalink

I don't know if this is something that most folks have picked up on or not, but using a decal under a structure covers the 'ruined' texture bordering the building, it especially makes suburban houses look much better! I expect to see some new L1-L5 light detached residences using the awesome decals provided by the community

I agree! I love using decals in areas like that!

I have uploaded two scrapyard trucks to the workshop. I want to thank Badi_Dea for helping med convert my old .max-files!

Hey, those turned out great! As always, superb job on the textures

You should make sure to include a flat tire on your next one

I only realised it recently but you can get rid of the ruined texture around houses and other stuff with Surface Painter if you have that mod (the last, 'empty' texture).

[Avanya 2,605]

Uhhh, love those trucks!

[_Beardmonkey 449]

I'm working on a set of trash/dumpster assets. Right now I have three variations of the dumps and a decal for trash. I might do one more dumpster and will do a few more trash decals.
