Millenia's Workshop Stuffs

Millenia · Aug 2015

Figured it was about time I got on the CS:GO workshop, seeing as how I started my path as a 3d artist doing custom content for CS 1.6 and CS:S.

I bashed out this quick techy/industrial look for the sawed-off shotgun last night, pretty happy with the general look. Intend on doing more in the same style, refining it more with each pass. The only thing I wish I'd done is accommodated the text overlayed from the ambient occlusion better as it's not sitting too well ATM. Oh well, next time :v

the circle is complete :P nice job.

Just a small comment on the wear though, it seems like the wear mask is inverted. I would think the paint would chip off the edges first, and persist on the flatter surfaces

Millenia · Aug 2015

Ah I did that intentionally to preserve the design, maybe should have spent more time on it so it only gets masked in the crevices instead of the edges, too.

Cheers Dylan

Did a quick recolour of the MAG-7 to fit in better with the tier it's supposed to go into:

Just started on the M4A4:

Dylan Brady · Sep 2015

huuu, so detailed X_X are you modeling these is sub-D? or like painting normals in something like ndo?

Millenia · Sep 2015

The first three were modeled in Max, soft edges coming from Mental Ray's rounded corners. The 5-7 and the M4 I'm using nDo2 for which is a bit faster but doesn't have quite as much control.

Olli. · Sep 2015

have you found a way to RTT rounded corners to normals?

Millenia · Sep 2015

Yeah, there's a Polycount thread on it:

http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71995
(Basically, all you have to do is set the low poly's visibility to 0.0 in the object properties and it'll bake down fine)

Millenia · Sep 2015

In-game test of alternate colour scheme

RobeOmega · Sep 2015

These are great! I am also loving that new colour scheme but maybe make the middle light brownish part of the gun a bit more saturated in my personal opinion.

Millenia awesome work, what is your workflow if you don't mind me asking? do you blend all the maps or bake em together into a diffuse map?

Millenia · Feb 2016

Usually I bake them down in Max.

wow man, i'm really impressed by your designs. I have couple of questions if you don't mind, you look like you take a different approach doing the skins where you start from a 3d model then you extract the texture am I right? i usually work on the texture map on photoshop directly. what do you think the different between the two methods? and It would be amazing if you do a tutorial walk through one of your designs. thanks

It varies, really - this Desert Eagle and my first 3 skins were made by making a high poly model in Max and baking it down, while the rest are made in Photoshop with nDo2. Either way, I tend to create a full set of PBR textures as if it was a modern game asset and then just bake it down with nice lighting in Max to really sell the materials. It's a bit more work and definitely a lot more technical than doing it all in Photoshop, but I think the results you can get with these kinds of methods are far superior to just Photoshop.

So I started on my first entry for the CS:GO Weapon Finish Contest - going for the obvious Star Wars one first. Inspired by the Star Destroyer.

Kitten425 · May 2016

Really nice job first off. How do you make that nice 3D effect and carve the gun out like that. I was trying to do an engraving with part of the gun but I just using layers of shading.... :c
