Beetle is back!

Xena

Last time I got bad critiques on texturing, so I worked a little more. Also post some other stuff I worked on.



C&C still welcomed! See more, just go to my website

Nice man, the beetle turned out nice- The skull bit on top looks a tad out of place, but regardless its pretty sweet. Its good to see you have a firm grasp of normal maps

beetle looks sweeet now! well textured and now I just want to see it crawling around, that blue bloby stuff on the front screen could do with some glow/self illumination hehe

SHEPEIRO

nice job on the beetle, agree about skull though why?

Jaco

I think the skull would look better if it wasn't on a pure black background, it's half disappearing into that blackness right now.

Xena

yeah, the skull is just a texture normal map(not in the original plan). Maybe I should have wipped something in Zbrush and bake it.

Thanks for commenting. BTW, anyone know how to do a glow map in Maya?

CheeseOnToast

Plug a texture into the "incandecence" slot of the shader. It needs to be RGB, as maya uses the colour info as well as the value for glows.

Thank you so much for the help! Gonna try it.

Special thanks for Konstruct, without your long tutorials written for me, the beetle will still hide in its mud den.
