Hi!
Finally got my site up, http://www.alexf.se!

Some feedback, both on the site itself and the models would be greatly appreciated! I know there isn't much up yet, but I'm working very hard on it!

I'm currently looking for an unpaid internship, worldwide. You can reach me by PM here or by e-mail: alexforssberg@gmail.com

Take care!

Remove the frames for you site. Even at fullscreen, it's amking horizontal scroll bars. It's annoying.

Not believe the spec on your war weapons. I don't believe flood filling white and yellow are going to cut it. Not sure whats going on with the hammer. But your high poly meshes look good. Can give more feedback on it later unless someone chimes in with something solid.

Biggest issue I see is that you aren't giving any detail to you textures, just because you use an AO bake doesn't mean you're done texturing... if you add more details to your texture, your models will be much much better.

Flat colours are ugly.

Thanks for your comments! I agree texturing is not my strong side, I'm working on it.

I made another attempt at the sword, trying to get the gold feeling but I'm struggling. Any advice on the matter would be great, and if anyone know some good tutorials on texture that would be great too!

I'm happy you finally got your site up congratulations!.

I also think something could be done to your diffuse and spec it would help alot, but I'm having a hard time thinking of how to explain it, I'll come back with something good to say hehe.

Shameless bump with this revolver I made for my portfolio (original, I know!). Any feedback on the texture would be greatly appreciated! I played around some with the specular map to get the best metallic feel to it.

Again man, you REALLY need to push those details. Right now your texturing is only relying on your AO bake and normal, but the texture itself is boring as a tin-can... who is boring.

Look at reference man, look at guns, look at metals, look at woods... you can make this texture SOOO much more interesting if you just looked at some more reference... and get ideas for some more wear-and-tear.

Nice models but you have similar problems to me with textures, but I will try and help too.
I think some silvery scratches on some of the edges, like around the trigger, sights and anything that sticks out farther then other geometry. maybe some powered marks on the muzzle and deep scratches on the wood would also help

AlexanderF

Thank you both for the feedback and I agree, I'm trying to find some good examples of textures so I can see what needs to be done, I'll get back with a update tomorrow!

1- Diffuse is way too cloudy. Tone down the contrast in the noisy pattern and add more real surface detail.

2-spec is a decent start, but nowhere near complete. Darken what you have down just a bit -- maybe 10-20 %, and start working scractches, edges, and bright details ontop of it twice as bright.
