EMP Grenade

Poinball

Hey everyone,

I'm starting a small project during my free time.
It is a EMP Grenade from a concept art of the game Syndicate.


I will make for the first time a Physically Based texturing process. I think this little granade is a good start to learn this new texturing methode.

I will update my post when i will have something to show in each step of the conception.

Feel free to comment and criticize :poly128:
Thx !

Here the HighPoly :

Since it's so small, I'd suggest taking the time to model in the detal inside those four little rectangular windows on the rings. Just extrude those faces into the cylinder and extract them from the rest of the mesh to get a surface to work with. You could nDo it in Photoshop but modeling it in won't take long and I feel it would be both good practice and pay off in the bake (esp the AO)

Poinball

Polygoblin : ok yes, I think you are right ! i will check for it

I just Finish the Lowpoly and the Unwrap

I just make a little bake test :
I have to tweek the normal in photoshop a bit

Poinball

Basic Normal and AO is finish. I start the basic color :

I thought you wasn't supposed to bake AO into the albedo with PBR? I could be wrong as my knowledge with it is limited.

Other than that, the texture is starting to look pretty solid.

ZacD

You shouldn't bake AO into the albedo with PBR, but you can put it into the AO channel if there is an option for it.

almost done

Here is the Final render. I will post the Turntable and eatch textures with the wireframe soon !

I think you should do something with the presentation, dark gray grenade on dark gray BG is a bit too uniform.

Poinball

@ZacD : Yes you are right ! here is the update

One thing that super poped out to me which may see minimal is the text. At the top you say Militant use when the ref and in real life would say military use

Poinball

@skyline5gte : Thanks body ! I just update it

Try adding a glow to the emissive instead of having a flat colour*.
