Not done too much lately, redone the texture for the barrels

All your props should be better than this if you want a job as an environment artist.


You should be baking from a high, bevelling edges, and creating something that looks current gen. These look like action quake 2 props.


Go look up some hard surface tutorials....

Finally, look at racer445s texturing tutorial, it will show you a good start for defining materials using textures

Your textures are REALLY lacking the detail that makes them feel believable, try adding more dirt and grime ESPECIALLY to the sea can.

If you need, go to sites like Turbosquid and look for examples

I'll go take a look :thumbup:

Any reason why you are not doing highpoly models and baking normal maps?

Danielj_B

well for the barrel i really didn't think it would be that necessary, and i was going to for the container but i thought it looked pretty decent as it was, but I'll make a hi poly now i suppose

It's worth it. I used to think the same thing but the difference between vert smoothing and a normal map on the surface of that barrel will be night and day.

Baked a higher poly version of it onto it, think it looks worse now tbh but I'll try it on something else
