I think the wood grain in the normal is too strong and the glossiness of the wood could be higher.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree with the normal being bit too strong on there, the sky preset i used made normals pop out more than the rest of the skies ,but i liked that one best. The wood was glossier before but it didnt work, it looked like plastic (i wanted more of that worn, dull wood look), i had hard time makin the wood look good. But I'll continue tweaking all these..
I've been practicing ndo the past couple of days. Really powerful stuff, going to incorporate it into my workflow! Super simple model, just normal map so far.
I'm working in my spare time on a very funny character
I found the concept on Deviantart and make a few changes, for myself to make it more interesting for me.

How do you get the edges so nice, if you don't mind me asking? Just bevels on the low-poly, or is it some nDo trickery?
Yeah that's exactly it: super simple high -> low bake, and then doing all the panel details etc in ndo. Very quick workflow!
That's actually how we've been doing stuff at work lately. It's really improved timeframes as we can get nice clean edges on the models and we know the details will be more or less perfect through nDo. It's nice when you don't have to rebake 5 times because of skewing or add in extra verts to compensate.
"Hello everyone, I am gathering some "Audience Testing" data for a student essay. Please take a look at the animation and tell me what you think, you can be positive or critical, just be honest. My intention is just to gather data and quotations so I am not willing to answer any questions about the animation. Furthermore, it would be very useful to me if you could include your occupation (e.g. programmer, student etc) and any other details about yourself that you feel comfortable giving me."

I think hes doing a rough bake with a hp and then
do the details in ndo

UE4, layered materials, no unique diffuse/roughness, just AO, normal, and 2 layer masks.
Somehow I never realized this could be done, haha.
Now I really have to get playing with ndo.
The second one is a wall texture. Still need to add some dmg details.

head and hands need a bit more of love, looking good so far
I am very new to this website (shamefully) but I thought I'd publish some work for feedback.
I am working on a hybrid project, and here is a render of an anatomical skull. It is a WIP project with more uploads happening soon!
Any feedback will help.
