Pirate assets project

Cosmicburger

Heyo, I kind of abandoned my last set of assets. They were more for practice anyway. Now that I have commercial versions for all of my software I'm going to have a go at creating assets for the unity store. Much in the same style as what was in my last thread.

Heres the first group of asset Ive done, want to go back later and improve them after Ive warmed up.

Gazu

Yeah, some Highlights on the Metal Parts would be nice.

Bauken

Love the look of your wood grain. Maybe a little more range of darks and lights in the wood texture though? It looks very uniform art the moment.

Cosmicburger

Thanks for the feedback, Ill take that on board when I go back to improve the barrel.
Today though I have been wasting my time trying to get the colours right on the next asset. Not complete yet as Ive redone the texture a few times now.
Heres the progress

Unless you plan on making this game super close-up, you might want to increase the contrast and size of the assets (Make them more obvious from a distance). Right now they may turn into a blob if viewed from afar. I really like the textures though!

Cosmicburger

Good point, I tend to make my textures a little washed out without too much contrast. I tried adjusting that for the other textures.

Heres the doubloons again a little more finished. Not sure what to do for the detail around the edges.

Cosmicburger

Also heres an updated barrel. Minor differences. Got to get more models textured. Though I should work a bit more on my wood grain first because theres a lot of wood in the coming assets.

FullSynch

Hey man love the idea. I did a rough paint over with my 2 cents. I made some adjustments according to a reference while trying to retain the style you're going for. Basically I just changed the shadows to a rusty green, midtones to a sort of dejon mustard, and pumped the lightness on highlights. I also added a top to bottom gradient on the stacks in order to break up the noise, create depth, and separate the forms. I don't know how your UV's are laid out, but it may required giving the stack edges more space in order to accommodate the gradient.

Hope it was helpful!

Cosmicburger

Wow I like how that turned out. I'll give that a go when I go back to fine tune things. At the moment I feel like Im dewlling on a few assets when Ive got a big group to complete.

Cosmicburger

Couldn't resist, heres a doubloon update. tested how it would look at an isometric-type game res. Im trying to make these assets useful in a broad range of possible games.


FullSynch I gave the stack gradient a go but It didn't really work with the different sized stacks and I want all coins and coin piles on the same UV so they can be batched in Unity engine. I think it could be better to bake the shadow into the vertex.

Cosmicburger

Started on another asset. Not happy with how this one has been turning out so far, going to keep at it though.


edit: Updated the image because old one was very crap.

Cosmicburger

This will be my last update on this particular chest for a while.

Cosmicburger

Working on a new one based off an old reference from a freelance job that fell through.
Having trouble getting the metal to look nice.

Neox

it is definitely too orange and needs more reflections painted in

Cosmicburger

Been a while. Worked on a number of things that I'm not quite ready to post yet. Here's a prop in unity with a particle system on it.

Cosmicburger

Need to update more frequently. Ive made a bunch of new assets as well as going back to work on the older ones.
