3.0 Update is availabe, pack is even better! - http://u3d.as/fkf

--------------------------
Hello,
as some of you might noticed, I've recently got published my 'Photoscanned rocks pack' in Asset Store (http://u3d.as/cCd)
Currently I'm working on another photorealistic asset pack, as title says, roots, trunks and stumps.
First, I'll show you some of the scans:

Right now I've made few of them as game assets, such as that log:

I have a question to you: In stumps, would you like me to fill those gaps in the bottom, those part underground (for example add there some dirty roots texture or something) so you can rotate it, or can I leave it empty?
Let me know what do you think about it

 

Those ones looks cool! Keep it up :3

 

Seriously stunning

Is there a release date and price estimate for these ?

 

Thank you
I guess it could be done in week or two and price would be 30$ I think. I'm planning to have around 6 stumps, 1 log, 2 roots clumps, or maybe I'll separate them and have around 4-6 single, and one or two fallen trees:

And here's one roots clump I'm talking about, it's scan only, I'm just starting to work on them:

 

Very nice, cant wait for it

I am mostly interested in the old stump (first in the post)

Also the ground is very nice, is it possible to include one with the leaves as well ?

Also in the conversion texture seems lower, would be great if textures could have a max version for uber detail (maybe baked in a normal/paralax map ?)

 

I'm also in the process of creating high-detail photosourced ground textures, but it's for different pack, I'll get to it when I'll finish this one
All textures will have maximum of 4k, normalmaps baked from very high density scans.
Here's screen of one stump up close:

 

What technology do you use to do the scan? The detail is absolutely mind-blowing!

 

I think it might be Photogrammetry. You shoot an object from different angles, paste those photos through an program (in this case Agisoft PhotoScan) which then converts it into a 3D model. As easy as this sounds, it's not. Still, it's a great technique. A game which makes use of it is 'The Vanishing of Ethan Carter' for example

 

Mauri is right Altought it may look like easy thing, it's hard to master, I've made many mistakes before I reached quality I have now. It can bring a lot of realism to your project, scanned objects have uniqe textures. For example rocks/stones: you don't have visible pattern over and over on all assets, take a look: http://u3d.as/cCd Even with 11 rocks, you have a huge diversity, especially when you scale and rotate them differently, and it doesn't feel repetitive as when using tileable texture

 

Update, stumps in front have ~300-600 tris, and bigger ones in back ~5k tris:

 

Another update I've tought that fallen trees trunks should be filled so you can rotate it however you wish Currently almost all assets have 300-700 tris, so you will be able to use it even for mobile, and don't worry, it still looks cool thanks to normalmaps

 

Final update, now I need to make Asset Store shots. Price will be 30$, I'll let you know if this pack will be available on marketplace

 

3D scanning?! For mobile too?! WAT SORCERY IS THIS?!

Just kidding! Looking amazing!

 

haha, this sorcery is called skills
Thanks

I've just submitted pack for Asset Store and waiting for review, stay tuned

 

Does the pack include heightmaps?

 

No, it has Normalmaps, but you can always convert them to Heightmaps if you want

 

Does it contain AO maps then? If not, you could add even more value to the pack by baking AO (and probably also reduce the photographed AO in the albedo texture). That should be fairly straightforward considering you've got both the high and low res meshes.

 

As far as I know, AO is not neccessary needed in PBR, Albedo texture has no lighting information, everything is generated in engine. If someone really needs AO, it can also be converted from Normalmap

 

Unity's pbr shader has an AO slot to assist in lighting. It is not generated in engine, as you put it.

 

Nice Sketchfab scenes!
Wondering when Unitys WebGL will finally reach this quality....

 

@hippocoder I heard that Unity has SSAO, so it's generated. Anyway it's not a big deal if assets looks good, and one can convert Normalmaps to AO
@Cascho01 thanks

BTW, I'm still waiting for package review, I hope it will be done in next week

 

SSAO is quite different from textured AO, in some cases using both doesn't make sense. So for those who don't use SSAO, providing an AO map would be great because baking those with the actual meshes will be much better than generating it from normal maps . I'm kind of curious why you're resisting the general idea of AO maps though...

 

do you do this with a regular camera? dslr? and are there any tutorials for this kind of work?

 

@christoph_r Well, you're right, but baking from original scans makes a lot of trouble, most of them have holes at bottom which makes artifacts and it takes time to correct them manualy (I've spend quite a long time with Normalmaps)
@PvTGreg with quite regular, but very good digital camera. There are few tutorials, try to google them

 

I just want to let you know, that I was declined because of some small texture issues that I need to clean up. Because of that, I've decided to take more time and provide decent AO as you requested

 

AO maps added, minor errors fixed, I'll submit this pack soon

 

I've just submitted fixed version, hopefully everything will be fine this time.
Meantime, you can check out updated rocks pack, they have nice AO now: http://u3d.as/cCd

 

Hello,
Thanks for your support, the pack is available on AssetStore, I hope you'll enjoy it

You can combine it with my Photoscanned Rocks pack to ge even more realism

 

Hi, nice work.

Is there any chance to include super high resolution maps in the pack later ?

Right now there is a difference between the OP pics and the pack shots.

Or maybe it is hard to access since all material is so small. Are there any very big pics of each item ?

Thanks

EDIT: Scratch the above, textures look amazing in the Sketchfabs, is it possible to get a sketchfab of the big tree root with the green moss ? That is the item i want the most, so a Sketchfab would greatly help decide on the pack purhsase.

Thanks again

 

Sure, I've uploaded game-ready asset on Sketchfab Thank you very much for interest

 

Great, thanks a lot

 

Pack will be soon updated to 3.0
Whats new:
- changed shader
- better, sharper textures at smaller file size (compressed *.png's instead of current *.tga)
- fixed few meshes and LODs errors
- scale fixes
- few minor issues removed
New icon and images, better screens showing practical use in connection with my other packs.
If you were hesitating if it's worth buying, I hope now you don't have doubts, buy it now and wait for update! - http://u3d.as/fkf


There will be Photoscanned Stumps Vol. 2 soon, you can keep in touch at this thread - http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/wip-photoscanned-stumps-vol-2.362901/

 

New version has been just released, I think it will be last update to this pack - http://u3d.as/fkf

 

Small update - this pack is now backwards compatible with Unity 4.x

 

Great, thanks for the updates, keep up the great work
