make the detail level more uniform, and this'll start looking pretty good.
Nice work
The current poly count is 10 800 poly will post a screen later tonight
i dunno why the teacher wants to render whit those settings the squash result is stunning
Squashed
Unsquashed
Thanks to point that out... i got worried
sorry it took me awhile to do the uvws and other stuff here is my texture first pass i worked on the base metal of the frame and the tracks...
i suck at texturing so any tip or crit are always welcome!
also i plan on putting it in a snow scene hence the wite tracks
Anyone know good tutorial for that?
And maybe try to break some stuff out and make them a different color than green, I know, most tanks are just one colored but you can show the detail more if you break some of them out, maybe make them black.
Also, render a Ambient Occlussion and multiply it over your texture (in case the game engine doesn't use calculated ambient occlussion or a own map for ambient occlussion that gets added in the engine). XNormal can bake Ambient Occlussion real good.
Sweet deal
Otherwise I really like it, keep up updating it and its gonna be awesome!
yeah i know what they are i just didn't have time to do them yet and i didn't start on the fuel tank too
Your snow layer is too dense on the turret and hull. Looks like it is painted with cream. It would not stay there due to tank movement, temperature (especially around the engine) and angle of armor. Snow should also have less uniform thickness.
Btw, bump/normal of that fachtwerk house wall in inverted
i persoanlly like the turret. dont look squish'ed to me-
yep, i guess u r right.
I forgot about this version of t-34. Just feels slightly low, but very little, so if it actually fits the blueprint, then it is fine
I was thinking of t-34/85 with higher turret :P
any idea?
Basically, u just can make snow layer that covers all your texture. Then create a quick mask in PS and make it black. This way "by default" the snow layer is transparent. And where u will be painting white or gray in the mask u'll get the snow to appear.
I personally would simply make winter camo, but if u want to keep some kind of unexpected late autumn snow over green camo u'll need to paint the mask for it.
Btw, what u can do to speed this up is to use vertex color. U can take your hi-res (or even low-res, depends if low-res vertexes will be enough) and simply paint b&w mask with vertex color. Then, u can assign vertex color to Diffuse and bake that Diffuse to your low-res mesh's UV layout.
That will be a rough mask ready to use in PS for your snow. U'll just need to refine it.
I agree with this.
I'm not sure what the back story is to your scene, but that much snow would never accumulate on a tank that is constantly mobile. Unless it's been knocked out or abandoned; and in that case you would want to model a damaged/destroyed version of the tank.
I think a better solution would be to do a whitewashed version of the tank, and you can still preserve the effect you are attempting to achieve in the composition:
Also, maybe try to use a more Eastern European looking architecture in the scene? That version of the T-34 wasn't that common later in the war; mainly T-34/85's served in the battles in Germany. And by the time the Red Army was advancing into German territory, winter was coming to a close, so not sure how much snow cover would be apparent; looking at photos from the Battle of Berlin, there is no snow at all.
i try to play around whit a masked shader but it really didn't do the details i was looking for...
Yeah i know my scene is not quit accurate whit a some German building and a t-34 in the snow but o well, cant change them now my deadline is the 18
hopefuly i will be updating in a day or 2
Crits are always welcome
