g'damn I love those textures. very hot indeed.

Ged

such great solid looking shapes

Grimmstrom

Awesome work, nicely presented. Yeah the compression caused by photobucket is annoying. Maybe you should try imgur

Bbox85

Higher resolution images added. Thanks for the heads up Grimmstrom, imgur worked like a charm!

wester

Mother of god that Buzzard is incredible! I love the texture treatment!

Mike_Carlyle

Amazing work bro! Congratz :-D

dtschultz

Awesome work! Thanks for showing the textures. Are the greenish red spec tiles on the left matcaps from Zbrush? If so, what are you using? Are you using the red and green for spec color?

Jessica Dinh

Textures *_* Inspiring !

rv_el

Hell yeah!!! Awesome stuff man. Glad you posted it up. The presentation is great too.

tottot

Incredible stuff man, those textures are SICK! The stuff coming from this game is mind blowing. I almost wish it wasnt so stylized.....almost!

raul

Daaayyyuuumm! look at em rocks!

jeremiah_bigley

Awesome stuff man! Those images got compressed pretty heavily though. Makes it hard to see all the awesomeness in the Buzzard textures.

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for all the positive feedback, I'm happy you all like it. We're actually in the process of making one huge Art thread that represents all the artists here at gearbox that want to post some stuff. So I might end up removing the images from this thread and replacing it with a link to the larger one. It should happen soon, so be on the look out!

dtschultz - It's the Bronze with Highlights material. I believe its under the metals category for downloadable matcaps on the Pixologic site.

jeremiah_bigley - Yeah, that image is actually just low rez. I didn't have a real render of the textured version. Working on it now, so it should be up when the larger thread goes live

megalmn2000 - I'll have to check with to see if a 'making of' is ok to post. But that's a good idea. A lot of people are always curious about the Borderlands art workflow.

Polygoblin

Holy moly, I've got a chub now.

Snader

Wow, this looks good enough to be in the actual game!

just kidding, just kidding. i know this is official artwork

I have a question: Do you guys run your textures through a texturizer that unifies the art style or does gearbox train everyone how to make the textures all look the same (cartoony/sketchy/lines)?

Bbox85

Replaced the image of the Textured Buzzard with a higher rez version. The last one was way too compressed.

slipsius - Lol!!!! I feel your pain... and probably more since I associate myself with the Buzzard. I must've put in almost 200 hours playing this game (released) and not a single second of it did I not hate those Buzzards.

Fractal - We only use filters to simplify photo source textures and remove unnecessary noise, similar to posterize. The rest of the style is pushed through with painted shadows highlights and inks. Everyone is trained on how to set up their textures. We all have our own unique little style in the way we texture, but we all feed off of one another. If someone is doing cool things with their ink lines, people will notice and start mirroring it. It helps to keep things consistent and promote growth within the art team.

Thanks again for all the wonderful comments everyone!! The artists at Gearbox are still preparing all the awesome content they want to show you. We'll have it ready soon!

Andrew Mackie

Thank you so much for posting/sharing this. This art style is easily one of my favorites.

Kyuuu

Awesome work! Those textures are pure love!

nfrrtycmplx

Awesome work bro!!!

TJS93

great work and those textures are sweet

Quack!

Great stuff!

I noticed that alot of the fine details of your buzzard high poly didn't transfer over to the low poly. Was this a intentional choice or a resolution issue? I am assuming part of the rendering and style of BL flattens those details out a bit.

Oh and eff the buzzards! Hate those bastards.

Lonewolf

:O wow

FractaL

Awesome stuff this is very inspiring! I cant even handle how perfect the high poly models are. You guys are just ridiculously talented over there at gearbox.

BenHenry

So amazing I'm going to cry.
