Peterk - Airship

PeterK

Hi all,

Here is an airship I made:

it's quite large, and actually meant to be walked on, so I had to use quite a few tiling textures.

HellMark

Great piece Peter. I think you could push the materials and reflections more on the yellow points of the blimp.

Nice dude, I agree with HellMark on the textures though. Since you made it big enough to walk on it would be pretty epic to play with that in unreal or tf2, *wink wink.:)

whats_true

Very nice. How close do you intend people to get to it?

PureWall

wow, I really like it.

model looks great, i would try pushing the textures some more. like hellmark said, adding some reflection to that yellow would really sell it.

Sirdelita

Agree with everyone! The modeling is fantastic...but the textures could be pushed

PeterK

Thanks for the comments mates.

it's pretty large:

Could you show us the textures? To be very blunt, it just looks untextured, as in: there is no diffuse.

I'd do a paintover on your diffuse, but then I'd be worried you'd just use it and take credit for it
You know, as you do.

SHEPEIRO

also are all those details modelled???? thats what normal maps ar efor unless you are supposed to go climbing around on the outside, even then....

MoP

Yep, looks cool, but as people have said the textures really don't look finished - it's far too clean and flat right now, you could make this way more interesting with some decals.

Also the gold (it is meant to be gold, right?) looks more like butter or something. Are you using any specular maps or normal maps, or is this purely diffuse on lowpoly? Basically the material definition is nonexistant, everything looks like it's made out of coloured plastic.

PeterK

Thanks for the input.

Jocose posted this image in the unearthly thread and I thought it might help you get ideas on how to improve the textures on your ship, or the blimp part anyway.
