DeleD Community Edition

No texturing or anything. I'm still complete crap at that, but I thought it would be fun to give DeleD a go again. It's been a little bit, so hello! Smile

Hey that's a goodlooking little house there! It has a fantasy look-and-feel, which I like very much. I'd love to see this textured and lightmapped. Very Happy

Alright, so this is only my second attempt at texture mapping, and it came out so-so. Any tips?

Very nice for just a second attempt!

As this has a cartoony look-and-feel to it, check out this picture by Elementrix for inspiration:

The reason why you have some issues with the texturing and lightmapping is the polygon shapes/sizes. It looks like you have optimised the model, which while reducing polygon size, they also make polygon variety in size and shape, a pain for the lightmapping engine to cope with.

Do you have a version, pre-optimised?

I generally select the polygons that I want the same texture, select face mode, Gen UV, and hit OK. Then I scale and rotate to fit while still in face mode.

Is there any way to blur a texture less when using a tiny texture? To keep it more pixelated? I've seen some really cool toony styles and I really like the retro pixel look, and I'd like to keep that in my work. Is that just how deled renders textures, or what?

You can apply a Pixilation filter to the texture, before you import it into DeleD. Most programmes have that filter.
DeleD only renders the texture 'as is'.

Here we go. Getting a bit better at this. Not too detailed, but I really wanted that toony pixely goodness. This was a 32x32 texture scaled up to 2048x2048 (a bit excessive, but it makes it clearer in the UV editor) I really like the look.

8 DeleD world units = 1 pixel (roughly) which made the mapping SO much easier in my opinion. Is there any UV editor with an align to grid option? That would be a glorious innovation! Anyway, back to experimenting! Peace!
