Hey there,

These are absolutely amazing! There is one thing related to the gradient mapping technique that I have always been curious about… How to author the gradient maps? I am trying to use them in a different fashion than you, namely store color variations of different suits inside a small texture. If I have a bunch of “normal” textures for the different suits, how to turn them into a gradient map?

Here is a great blog post that goes into gradient mapping. While not exactly what you wanted, it might give you some ideas on what to do and defiently worth a read.
