Creating Wound Textures

Within Path of Titans, when dinosaurs attack each other they cause locational damage. This damage will cause a wound to appear on your dinosaur based on where it was hit. In this tutorial we will create the masks the game uses to determine wound locations.

If your creature has more damage areas than the ones listed below, you will have to get creative and share/use wounds across different body parts. We only support a maximum of 19 damageable areas. For example, if your creature has two heads, you might be able to use Head Left and Head Right for the left and right heads respectively.

Watch the video tutorial here:

Wound Mask

• Resolution: 512x512

In your 3D painting software, create a wound mask that covers your entire dinosaur. It should have at least one wound on each body part listed below.

Here are also some wound brushes you can use. They are the same ones used on the base game dinosaurs, so they will match the style. They are free to use, and you do not need to credit Alderon Games: ▶ Download Link ◀

Wound Location Mask

• Resolution: 64x64

This mask is essentially a colour-coded map of where every body part is and where the wound on that body part is located. The colours listed below MUST BE EXACT or else the mask will not work. We suggest you use the eyedropper tool to grab the exact colour displayed in the table.

This texture is very small, and when you export it you want to try and preserve extra crisp edges without any aliasing or blending.

You can optionally export the texture from your 3D Painting Software and resize it in some image editing software, like Gimp, Photoshop, or Paint.NET. When resizing the image, use the "Nearest Neighbour (Preserve Hard Edges)" option to keep nice crisp edges on your colour blocks.

Damage Locations	Red	Green	Blue	Eyedropper
Head Left	255	0	0
Head Right	255	0	255
Neck Left	255	255	0
Neck Right	0	255	0
Shoulder Left	188	255	255
Shoulder Right	188	0	0
Body Left	0	188	0
Body Right	0	0	188
Tail Base Left	0	255	255
Tail Base Right	0	0	255
Tail Tip	188	0	255
Left Arm	188	255	0
Right Arm	255	188	255
Left Hand	255	255	188
Right Hand	0	188	255
Left Leg	188	188	255
Right Leg	188	255	188
Left Foot	255	188	188
Right Foot	255	0	188

Summary

If you follow all the above steps, you should have these final textures that will be used in-game:

• Wound Mask
• Wound Location Mask
