Jet Moto Challenge - HAL

HAL

thx man...

Tried something new... thats a realtime shot from blender's game engine....

What do you think... should I use marmoset or bge

HAL

No one leaves marmoset

Ged

nice work so far, I think some of the geometry has wierd smoothing like lumps and pinching in the subdivided geo because of underlying shapes

HAL

Thanks, could you please point out where exactly you see those? that would be really helpfull thanks man

e:/ more

kysterama

Coming along nicely HAL. Strong vibrant red suits it. Can't wait to see your progress
I hope my normal map comes out half as good as yours

HAL

Anybody knows if I can use the polycount logo in my texture

nfrrtycmplx

Titus

it looks very nice , and about logo - why not! )))

MoP

HAL

Wow... thanks everybody^^

HAL

End of day update. Want to be done by tomorrow.

ManfredP

looks really amazing. I love your design :-)

ZennDavid

Great looking moto , its so sleek it looks like it could be used underwater too

kysterama

Looks great! I'm still unwrapping and running normal map tests, hope i can get it finished! The glows and metal textures look really nice. There's going to be some excellent finished pieces in this comp

Ged

sorry I didnt have time to create a pic with the smoothing problems illustrated but it looks like youve moved on to some good texturing anyway so its coming out well. For an example of the wierd smoothing just look at the section around the front thruster its kinda blobby and doesnt really show how it connects to the rest of the bike thats what I meant about strange smoothing. be nice to see this done tho

HAL

ManfredP: Hey thanks

ZennDavid: Thanks man, I wanted to create it looking sleek and 'aerodynamic' glad that other people see it that way, too

kysterama: Hey hope you finish I love the entries so far as well

Ged: Np man, regarding the texture, I first wanted the red parts to be glossy but the vibrant red I have now looks way more awesome I guess, have to add some details and tune some parts out, then I'll move ahead to the spec map.

Anybody got any thought on the diffuse left?

HAL

Getting close to completing it

First work done on the specmap

SHEPEIRO

HAL- sorry this is a bit late but ive always thought the design of this has too many of the same shapes, and has lead you to a blobby form, it seams like it needs areas of concentrated detail and more sharpe lines to contrast with the shapes you have already.

HAL

You're right I guess, though its a little bit to late I'll try ti fix it^^

HAL

Quick test, I'm trying to fix the issue by texture, is it any better?

HAL

Ok I got to have it finished tomorrow cause I dont have time the other days and I am quite satisfied with my result so far.

So unless anybody got anything to add/critique which is killing it I am calling it done here.

(and thanks for the suggestion SHEPEIRO, I guess I fixed the transition at least on the black frame)

throttlekitty

The scuffing on the front looks a bit more like crayon scribbles, but great job with the heat marking on the frontal thruster!

HAL

and its done

thanks for the support everyone
