Flintlock Grenade Launcher; Need C&C for texture WIP

mrgesy

Hey guys, I've modeled a flintlock grenade launcher and baked normals. I'm in the texturing phase in Substance Painter and need some fresh eyes to look at my model. Here it what I have so far with 2K textures.

Note: There's no AO or shadows yet so the model might look flat in SP viewport. Also don't mind the normal map triangulation artifacts on some parts, I baked in XNormal and it looks perfect in MT2 but not in SP







(UV map with albedo text.)

Looks sexy so far, 

But I might be wrong but don't you lose too much UV space right now ? I mean everything is so spaced ? 

mrgesy

Thanks, yes I think I'm losing significant UV space because I maybe was too scared of texture bleeding and misjudged how much pixel space I needed

Just checked out the exported textures in MT2. Looks terrible. I'm going to have to re-do the UVs to be much tighter and rebake.

That copper material is a beauty!

Hey materials are looking pretty good I like the broken glass idea, it gives the piece more character. Is it normal mapped as well? Maybe also give it a bit more UV space when you redo the UVs because it looks like a low-res decal at this point. Keep at it!

mrgesy

@Doomathon Yeah I'll give it its own UV space because its opacity masked. It's kind of like a decal though, just a floating plane on the normal mapped gauge area. It has a normal map for the cracks

Doomathon

Sorry, what I meant to say was that it looked very flat in the renders, like a sticker placed on a piece of glass.

Oh yeah I understand, I'll work on it more to make it reflect like nice glass
