Here is my first attempt at a normal mapped material (bump map is obsolete BTW) Its slightly reflective also. Ive got alot more textures coming, but here is my first normal mapped material:

BTW the brightness was adjusted in PS to compensate for the dark pic.

Pretty good...It least you got it to work >_> Mine came out golden and ultra shiny.

Here is another version of this texture after I learned to properly normal map and add a reflective mask to a normal mapped texture. I also turned down the contrast, and tweaked the normal map.

It looks much better and more metallic.

Here is a custom blend texture I was screwing around with.

i woulda send the first it good but a bit repetative.
now ive seen the second i say excellent and pretty realistic looking bumps
3rd is pretty usefull aswell
isnt there a blend grass/rock texture anyway?

The 3rd is not meant to be useful. Just a test blend texture, thats all......
(The grass I used in the blend texture is actually a picture of my grass in my yard converted to be in source )

The rock part of the blend texture looks a bit pixelated. Maybe you should try and fix that?

I should of said this is not meant to be used. I was just screwing around with custom blend materials and their attributes. THe grass is to be used, the rocks are a result from a google search. THe next post will include a fully complete ROCKIN blend texture dawgs!

Here is the next step in my material evolution. Rock blend texture normal mapped and reflected with a mask to appear wet and glossy similar to Lost Coast's method. Im quite proud of this particular material:

You see... You cant just put some bump and reflection...
try to make it more realistic...

wheel, it does look realistic. I didnt just, quote " just put some bump and reflection...try to make it more realistic". I worked on the bumpmap and reflected mask. Ingame this looks as good if not better than the wet rocks in Lost Coast.
I dont just throw textures together........

Bah write a guide...All the other guides talk bullsh*t and don't make sense to me.

Oh.. yes, but its not so reflective, even when wet...

if nobody beats me too it, i will learn to bumpmap (or whatever it is) and write a tut for it and make more work for Ant

wheel, Here is the same texture hit with the proper light to appear "wet" (Its all about the lighting for getting reflections right BTW)

Looks great! (except the part where displacement meets floor )
)

Looks wet to me! 
And yeah, the displacements meating the floor looks a bit odd

Ya I know, I would of fixed it, but this map is mainly used as my testing map. I use it for physics experiments, lighting, custom materials, AI assaults, etc.
