| Summary | 0006355: Normal texture for banners broken. | ||||
| Description | The normal is already poor, but making things worse is the material including a heightmap which overwelms the normal (see before and after image below) - All of the following textures are effected - - tdm_banner_arms02 - tdm_banner_builder - tdm_banner_greenman - tdm_banner_grey_yellow - tdm_bannerlong_banner_black_floral - tdm_bannerlong_geometric01_red - tdm_bannerwatch - tdm_bannerlong_ornate_red_tan01 - stock texture all banners start with. Not listed as a skin for any banner - - tdm_bannerlong_ornate_red_white - this is a rug texture - tdm_bannerlong_ornate_black_gold01 - this is a rug texture Textures not effected by this issue as the normal/hieghtmap dosent get stretched - - cloth_coarse_cream_dirty_slick - cloth_coarse_cream_dirty Not listed in DR - - tdm_bannerlong_geometric01_white - this isnt listed in DR. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | The material defs for all of these textures have the normal line - "bumpmap addnormals(models/darkmod/props/textures/longbanner_local, heightmap(models/darkmod/props/textures/old_cloth_h.tga, 3 ) )" Changing the line to remove the heightmap, fixes the issue - "bumpmap models/darkmod/props/textures/longbanner_local" | ||||
| Additional Information | I have also included a slightly smoothed version of the normal. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

AH: Would you be interested in working on an upscale? I think we need to merge the heightmap into the normal map externally for better results. |

@nbohr1more Wellingtoncrap and have been looking at this and we relaised something that might explain the low res effect of the heightmap, asin its a 512x512 textures being stretched over a long banner, instead of being tiled. And this effect gets more pronounced in the bigger banners. Welli and I will create a merged normal and see what it looks like. |

Wellingtoncrab, has created a merged normal of 'old_cloth' and the folds in the banner. I think this is a worthy solution to the issue. See attached. |

Thank you! There are 14 materials that use this heightmap design. We only need to fix the 9 associated to this ticket? Material files: tdm_models_decorative_wall.mtr tdm_dragofer.mtr tdm_fabric.mtr |

Ok, let me do a QA on these in-game. |
|
|
Regarding "cloth_coarse_cream_dirty" in material 'tdm_fabric.mtr'. There is a duplication for this texture, look for the line - " // textures do not appear to exist. /*textures/darkmod/fabric/cloth_coarse_cream_dirty " |
