Ammo Box _ Hand Textured Test

aaronmwolford

Hello Everyone, I decided to test my hand texturing abilities and see what I've learned over the past few months. I'm looking for critiques. Thanks!

Textures are looking good. In your breakdown shot turnaround you may want to tone down the backdrop on the object as it looks like a weird error at first glance.

Otherwise awesome!!

Awesome, Thanks cmc444. I see what you're saying. I may also, now that I've had time to digest it, go back and add some dust/dirt towards the bottom.

I am kinda thinking the spec is to shiny. Ammo boxes are normally more of a matte paint for the most part if I recall.

I like it! As for the dropshadow, you can keep it, but in options I would drop the 'distance' to 0. Otherwise it is a bit distracting. I agree with your idea to add some dirt toward the bottom.

^This. Drop the distance, increase the spread, and you'll have a nice soft 'AO shadow" thing going on. I use this a lot. Subtle, but really makes something pop.

AmbiguousPackage: Thanks, I agree and I'll tone it down a bit.
Jessica Dinh: Thanks Jessica! I'll add some grime to the bottom.

I'll tone down the drop shadow a bit, as you all have recommended and post updates soon!
