uber crate

Lonewolf

hey peeps long time no see =D

here is something i did for the game art challange at CGtalk
though ill post it here too






some details could have ben better but the time was runing out and i didnt want to miss it

CheapAlert

Eraser?

sinistergfx

Good job! Probably could use some dirt in the crevices, scratches, and maybe some drippage from the hoses leaking. But I'm a sucker for well done grunge and ageing, and this might be a newer container :P.

gauss

i think the beauty render with the flying colors backdrop really sums up what you've got going on with this crate--and just how over the top its crateiness is nice work.

sinistergfx: Just because your crevices are dirty & drippy doesnt mean everybody's are too!


Seriously though: Good work on this! I like the colors & the implimentation of curves & cylinders to your crate.

Wires would be nice, so we can see where you spent 1000 polys on a crate...

RazorBladder

bloody great work but I noticed theres a real obvious seam on the top edges where the semi-circular extrusions are.

LiveWire

cool, is there a link to the other entries on cgtalk you can post?

JordanW

Nice model, I really like the colors and design, I highly recommend rendering an occlusion pass from your high res model to help tightin up the lighting on this.

KDR_11k

Could use a UAC logo somewhere .

That thing looks like something straight out of Doom 3, especially with the blue touchpad on the front.

The second image won't load for me, though.

cheapalert : what u mean?

sinistergfx : dripping? its biohazard, its dengerous man

gauss : thanx bro

ScoobyDoofus : here http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/7196/cratefinalwire0ck.jpg
dont forget it made or of very round shapes
and i had 1000 limit, why not use it

besides its not 1997 anymore, 1000 is ok IMO :P


RazorBladder : yea it was a PITA to fix, this is my first attemo of making hi poly and baking normals
maybe ill get it better next time

LiveWire : check the submition thread on cgtalk, some other cool ones there

tinman : maybe ill do that just for the fun

KDR_11k : yea this is what happen when u use futuristic style with normal map and the green color
i really wanted not to make it look like that but i wanted to use the green to keep it as military quipment stuff

thanx for the feedback guys

LordScottish

Haha, reminds me of this:


Good job lonewolf, looks great!
A thing that bothers me is that all those normalmap models (especially the doom3 ones) have that same look to them. They look kinda plastic like even though their diffuse map looks really good and not too clean at all. Maybe it's because in the renders people use in many cases only a spot and sometimes one additional omni light. It makes those almost black shadows you'll barely find in real life.

KDR_11k

They forget to color their specmaps. AFAIK Doom 3 uses only greyscale specmaps even though the engine supports full color. Also they make their specmaps too bright. The result is that wash out effect you see in Doom 3.

You've never seen Eraser? It was the original company name before they switched to Cyrez. :P

RazorBladder

Actually Doom 3 specmaps do use colour. Check the pk4 files.

Lonewolf

new render
better now?

i added gloss map
