Uvs, Baking, photogrammetry, textures and Pope Benson

Baking, UV mapping and textures 

This week was fairly straight forward with what I had to do, UV map my assets, bake them and began texturing. 


Also, with my concrete textures I began to use them for a base for brick textures. Though critique, I was told to look at the stone used for certain places. I will place this research down below. 



Substance graph: 

As you can see, I built upon the graph for my concrete textures from a few weeks back. 


I was also told that with my former window test, I need to use something similar to what I want to do, otherwise I wouldn't get the right results I was looking for. So I created a stained glass window texture - Pope Benson 

Pope Benson



The stained glass window texture was inspired by my pet dog, Benson. Inspiration photo below texture


 Influence: Benson 



Photogrammetry

The last thing I tested this week was photogrammetry. What is photogrammetry?
The best definition for it is found on photogrammetry.com
"The input to photogrammetry is photographs, and the output is typically a map, a drawing, a measurement, or a 3D model of some real-world object or scene. Many of the maps we use today are created with photogrammetry and photographs taken from aircraft."
Talking to a technician at uni, I found out there's a photogrammetry software for free and which is actually really good. It's called 3DF Zephyr.  As seen above, this is my result following a Tutorial on 3D flow website. Due to having a potato PC, this did take an entire evening to do. 
After my PC got into several hissy fits, the results (as seen above) turned out really well. I will have to look at this again in the future. This was set as a task, but I won't include it in my task submissions as I followed a tutorial for this. But, I am seeing it as an experiment.

Stone used for Notre Dame De Paris: 

I couldn't find too much information on what type of stone that was used for Notre Dame, but what little information I could find is that the original stone that was used was Courville stone and later Lutetian Limestone aka Paris Stone.
