I am creating a small island as a crysis 2 mod and I would like to texture the terrain with nodes and a stencil method. does anyone know any tutorials? or a photo of a node tree? thats really all I need. Im pretty sure Andrew Price used the method to make his mountain tutorial in the nature academy.
I tried CGcookies island tutorial, great tut and ill likely finish it but its not what im looking for.
No not quite, I need to use nodes to get the snow to mix into the dirt texture according to the slopes. In that tut (thats not there anymore:mad:) he used a sun lamp directly above the terrain to generate the stencil. then set up 2 or 3 node materials and blended them in.
I still cant find a tut for this. I mean really? The only one existing that I know of is in the nature academy. I thought there was someone on the forums that was experimenting with it but I cant find that either.
I don’t think andrew price did it this way, but one way to go about it, is to take a UV mapped object, use a black material, position your sun lamp ( set to white ) over it, set it to toon shading, go into shaded view mode, and bake the lighting. this will give you a map of where snow might fall/stick.
