Trying to recreate a texture I saw in Skyrim with Substance Designer. There are some obvious things I need to add/fix, but it's getting there.

Handgun, concept not by me. I was working on this in the last days, it's my first hard surface model, so would be nice if you guys could give some tips or critiques.

CocoaCup · Dec 2016

Since I'm a big fan of modding the games and especially Skyrim, I decided to try it myself. Wanted to create my own model and get it inside to the game. So far I'm working on high poly model of the horse saddle and bridle replacer. Not so easy as I thought

Hey. got some crits for you that hopefully help.
First of all, the presentation is rough, bluntly put. Remember, 'presentation sells'. If your gonna show off a high poly model, just put a nice, plain shader on it and either find a nice background in your renderer or blur it out or just use a plain colour and a vignette. And NEVER have parts of the model outside the frame unless its for compositional purposes.
Also, it looks like you need to do some work on your edge work. Heres some reference that might help.

Thanks for the tips and for those references, I did some changes on the model and textures.
What software do you use to render your models ? I'm using Substance Painter 2, but I need to improve my skills on it.
I would appreciate any other tips os critiques that can help me get better at it.

Fun environment for practice. Been wanting to get more acquainted with UE4.

Modeling and texturing by me, FX and some decals borrowed from the Epic Reflections demo with some minor tweaks. Thanks to all the folks at Epic for providing great demos and assets to learn from!

Doing a Noctis Caelum fan art from FF XV. For now in a very early stage, with some ugly and low res temporary textures.
And the hair, oh boy, sooo hard, so only a placeholder at the moment of rough imm planes from zbrush, instead of leaving it bald

nazeil · Dec 2016

As usual, some really great stuff in here.

A small bit of progress on this head. I've got all the subtools up to about subdiv 3 or 4. Still need to add jewelry and some other small touches.

BARDLER · Dec 2016

I made a Maya baking interface that uses Substance Batchtools for the main baking process and then Imagemagick for some additional functionality not available in Substance.

The goal of the tool is to streamline and minimize baking setup time, also to get rid the need to ever leave Maya to bake. From my benchmark timing tests it takes me about 6-10 min to setup a bake in Knald, xNormal, Designer, or painter and even more time if you need to do test bakes or rebakes as you work. My tool cuts that time down to less 20 seconds, and that includes making the cage, exporting meshes, and naming/organizing meshes and maps.

Features include:

- Create a standard scene for all bakes.

- Create a standard naming and organization for all baked maps.

- Export all "smooth preview" meshes as smoothed for the highpoly model.

- Quickly make and edit a cage mesh. Making a cage with a single click, and then you can just slide the slider to inflate it.

- Select from a range of maps including all the maps needed for Substance Painter's masking system.

- Support off square baking (ie 1024x2048). Substance Batchtools by default does not support this.

- Select which UV set to bake to. Not a common feature for a lot of baking programs.

- Use name matching for cleaner bakes which gets rid of the need to “explode” a mesh and bake two AO maps.

- Use an external highpoly if you do not want to import it into the Maya scene.

- Launch/Create a new Substance Painter file with all the baked textures imported into it. Also supports an already existing painter file.

I'm proud to present you The Worm.

Long time ago I was working on highpoly of this guy for cinematic and now decided to finish it as a realtime model.
Higpoly done in Zbrush, Topogun for retopology, Unfold3D for UVs, textured entirely in Substance Painter, presentation in Marmoset 3 (Special thanks for this amazing software!)
