PBR Tools/Weapons

mikolajspy

Finished!

---

I found some old tools in garage, so I figured - I'll make game assets from them.
I wonder what do you think, critique and comments apreciated
Here are few of them, I'll make some more later.

And here's screen from UE4:

dirigible

Looks good. The Hatchet looks VERY dusty/dirty, but I think that was intentional.
I will say, the inside of the saw's handle bothers me a lot. Everything else is textured so nicely, but that one part of the model looks like there was no effort put into it. If its not meant to be seen, cover it up. If it is meant to be seen, put some detail on it!

mikolajspy

Thanks, I'll get back to them
Update:

Made some more:

Next: rake, shovels and pickaxe

What about some dangerous tools? Could be usefull during zombie apocalypse

Can you show the maps

Kyle KR

Looking nice and very realistic. I'm wondering tho why neither Sickle nor Cleaver have sharp blades?

mikolajspy

@skyline5gtr - Sure, here's some downscaled sheet of cleaver maps:


@Kyle KR - Thanks. Well... as you mentioned it I started asking myself this question. I somehow forgot to sharpen it, it's corrected now Also the sickle is more rounded

One thing that i notice in some of the models are the Ngons where you have rounded objects such as the bolts and screws, as well as the holes, i would also try cleaning up some of the geometry across the first saw.

Maxilator

Nice job! I notice two things, first of all, I think some of the items could use some more AO to make the different parts stand out, second, I think some of the metal parts could use some more speculatrity/less roughness to distinguish it more from the wooden parts, at least where there is no corrosion (I can see that you did that on the cleaver but i think you should push it more). Keep up the good work!

mikolajspy

Thanks I don't worry about Ngons since it will be converted to tris in game anyway.
I plan to finish my collection roughly, and then I'll review all of them again, do some optimalizations and correct minor errors
Here's small hand pruner which we're using in my garden. I know there are few errors in some places as well as lighting information on texture, I'll correct it later.

How they look like in UE4:

Letting the engine triangulate it out instead of fixing the Ngons is just poor workflow and using unnecessary algorithm from the engine to solve it. I am not stating that it's wrong, just that it is frowned upon.

I don't worry about one or two tris more, I heard that it doesn't really matter in next-gen
Anyway, I think I'm almost done. I'll do two brooms, do a review of each asset and it will be finished for now, maybe I'll make more in future. Pack will go to Unity AssetStore, I will also try to submit it to Unreal Engine Marketplace

I think the problem with letting the engine triangulate is that sometimes it can triangulate your model in unexpected way. Which may result in wierd shading from normal map.

I love the amount of detail you put in the texture. Hand pruner is my favourite.

mikolajspy

Thanks
I didn't noticed anything wrong in engine, so I guess it's fine, I know that errors may occur when Ngon isn't flat.
Anyway here's lastest update, now I'll need to do some finishing touches before submitting it to Unreal Marketplace There are 20 diffferent tools, and they'll cost 30$
