Dennis's handpainting improvement thread

Dennispls · Sep 2014

Hello everyone,

I have been posting here and there but I thought it was easier to just make one thread where I can receive some crits.
I am trying to improve on making handpainted textures in the style of WoW and Allods.
The art in those games are awesome and I would love to reach that quality someday.

Thanks for your time

I think the textures look pretty sweet. What is that last one though, a tree?? I thought it was a bunch of stumps until I saw it in context in first image. I think it looks very interesting as a texture, but not necessarily a palm tree bark?

Like I said though, these are pretty darn good as is IMO.

Hello Spectre,

Yeah perhaps it doesn't look too great without leafs and stuff. It is supposed to be based on the last image on CGtextures

but a bit more stylised.

I really like the stairs and the pillar, but like spectre1130, I am also having trouble figuring out what the last one is? at first I thought it was a tree but then in the last picture it kinda looks like a rock path with grass in-between the rocks?

Keep it going! I love the hand-painted style.

Now that you show me that I can kind of see it. Maybe just make the cut fronds a bit more narrow to match the ref just a bit better as they are too rounded as is. Palm fronds are pretty flat. Maybe with the rest of the model showing it does look much better.

I'm nowhere near an expert but this isn't palm bark. It's more like a Date tree bark, or that fan palm tree I can't remember the name at all. Well okay they are a sort of palm but not the average palm.

In any case i would definitely sized it down, it's too big atm.

Been very busy with work and other stuff but I have tried something else.

I am still woking on the overal look and feel before starting to ad more colors and contrast

Got a little further. Feels abit better now in my opinion.

Seems like my lptop is displaying things a whole lot lighter than the other devices.

I like your texture skills! But I guess you should add some extra geometry to your palm tree.

Dennispls · Oct 2014

Cheers Fenyce!
The stump is just a basic shape to quickly show what it looks like on a rounded surface.
The actual tree will have more geometry where I will model some of the fronds so it doesn't look all flat.

Dennispls · Oct 2014

Been playing around with the geometry and slapped on some leafs. They are still work in progress.

On a whole different project just so I get some options when painting.
Followed Kelvin Tans gun tutorial in 3Dcoat. Here is what I have so far.

Hello all,

It has been a while but I started working on things again.

I have started working on something new based on concept art a friend of mine did.

It is still at the base of the texturing work and as someone requested I will add a small breakdown of my process.

Here are the first few images of that breakdown. I will add the other stages once I have more.

Hello all,

Back with something new. Decided to go for a fan art of League of Legends. I used a concept I found online. Here is what I have so far. The crystal is still a work in progress.

I will work on the previous little tutorial and make it look a little bit more presentable.
Up to the next model:)
