Do these look kinda real ?

I took some photos and was t4rying to figure out bumpmapping in PS. Not to bad i think.

To me the second one looks pretty good !! The first one needs a different scaling i think.

Both look awesome but Vue rocks could really need a few more polies.

I like both, the mountains round where I live are very much made of rock like that first one!!

I like both -rocks do have different scales of textures so both could be useful. I usually prefer procedural textures if I can get or make them, but these look nice.

I really like what you've done with the mats! Very nice. Too bad vue can't 'subdivide' the polys in a rock :-(

 

Thanks guys. Oh I know chipp, Vue rocks are absolutely horrible...

same rock, default on the left, exported subdivided then reimported...what a mess.

What you can do however is up the smoothing angle to 180 degrees and give dynamic subdivision a boost of 1 or more in the object editor. It's not perfect but it helps a great deal.

Paul, try putting the exported rock through UVMapper before bringing it back in.

You cannot add more polys to rocks in Vue, but you can use dynamic subdivision.
This does not solve mapping problems, though.
