Hey guys and girls. I've never attempted to character model before so this should be a lot of fun:)

Good Luck to everyone in the Challenge!

The Image in this box will contain the most recent Sketchfab updated work.

Got a texture on Tiptup. Not perfect but it's still WIP

I hope everyone is doing well:)

Nice job

I would recommend turning off mipmaps for your textures. It'll make them less blurry and they'll look purposefully pixilated instead of accidentally blurred.

PaperTig3rs

Thanks for the tip ChaelesL

I am done Tiptup's texture for now. Time to move onto modelling the rest of the chracters!

Def learning a lot from this challenge. Here is the texture sheet of Tiptup.

Getting the actual world blocked out.

Put a a texture on the grass, water and path 64x64





I've been looking at most of the threads and everyone deserves a pat on the back. Keep up the great work everyone!

I'm still really new at the development game. I believe I've made rookie mistake and painted on the 128x128 texture. What I think I should have done was painted on a 1028x1028 and then scaled down to a 128x128 texture but I was already done the character when I though about it.

At least I'm learning from my mistakes.:poly122:

After having to uninstall and re-install 3ds max I finally could post a beta test of my scene.

This isn't a rookie mistake. It's just a preference. I personally enjoy painting low res textures at their actual size so to see what is actually happening with the texture.

Also your texture appears blurry because of the texture filtering that Sketchfab applies. Go to your object in Sketchfab, open the material editor on the right side of the screen, click on the texture image, and uncheck Bilinear (I think that's what it's called). That will sharpen your texture and not smooth the pixels.

Vailias

Yes. Its not a "rookie mistake". It is a preference, and there are a number of logical reasons behind working at exact res.. for one, you are certain of the final result of your texture from the get go. For another, you won't get distracted with tiny details that will just get rezed out when you downsample.

PaperTig3rs

Ok. cool thanks for the help guys:)

PaperTig3rs

Two more chracters blocked out. Timber and T.T

JamesArk

So many memories flooding back with this one. Such an awesome game.

PaperTig3rs

Started block out on WizPig

PaperTig3rs

Wiz pig is placed. Time for UVW

Does anyone know why sketch fab isn't saving all my group materials? It was working fine before but now it won't recognize some of my materials. So I'm unable to load some textures onto my scene. It's grouping material groups together that shouldn't be.

PaperTig3rs

Well sadly to say I cannot submit my entry I'm having technical difficulties with sketch fab so I'll just post my final images on here. Thanks to everyone who left comments. Good luck to everyone who entered the contest!
