View Full Version : Do rain, get an icerink

Some five months ago I was working on an icerink concept, but gave up for lack of convincing skate scratches on the surface. Just now I fouled up the setting on a displacement map while working on a rainstorm (of all things) and got this.

So I figured I'd share it for those needing such a texture.... grab it while it's hot, I'll be taking it down after a week or so.

I got it using falling particles with particle blur on (in LightWave)... I expect other displacement patterns will yield other interesting scratch patterns.

This is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

I worked on a hockey game awhile back, had to do a similar texture, altho it was pretty easy just to paint a bunch of lines, different thicknesses, since it was a low-res 256x256.

Your texture will come in handy. Thank you.
