Weapons Crate

Rock Bottom

This first render was made in Marmoset but the Normals Map does not look that good


And this one was ScreenShot in Max. cause i dont know how to render textured Models in Max anyone know how? please let me know thanks


crits are welcome oh yeah the texture is crap i still need to play around with texturing a bit please comment and let me know what you think thanks

Good start mate but the texture is perhaps a bit flat and uniform right now. Maybe put some grunge/dirt towards the bottom of the crate where its been touching the ground, some grime around the handle where its been picked up. Right now it looks almost like its made of a green metal like oxidized copper, rather than steel or another metal which has been painted green. A darker base texture, some additional grime and some more dents and scratches, and the odd blotch/patch (low res detail, not sharp stuff) will bring it alive.

Hope that helps

Good to see how this one is coming along! Glad you're sticking with it. An AO and cavity map ( ) would go a long way for this one. and concentrate on putting wear only where it would happen, and in strategic locations. Every convex edge would have a little, where corners would have a lot. as afk put, grime in the concave corners, or dirt.

Again, good to see your working!

I assume you are using a DirectX shader to display the textures now. Max can't render out DirectX shaders, just add the textures to a new default material slot and assign that material to your object. Then you can just render it normally.

AInt that virtually a direct copy of Racers model?

Rock Bottom

yeah its kinda like his. just liked his idea so planed to make something similar for a scene i am thinking of making

Rock Bottom

thanks guys for the comments i think this model is done what is your opinion?

The wear still doesn't seem right, and over done in parts, smoe of it looks a little "bird poopy" (ie splotchy in wierd places) the top "nubs" for example, you have wear on the sides but none on the top edges?

On other scratches, it seems like you just overlayed a scratch texture over your map... but the locations dont make much sense. Still not seeing an AO or cavity pass... or grime in the creases, etc...

Its getting better, but I think could still use some refinement.

Rock Bottom

ok i will get back into it tomorrow. Just a question what is a cavity pass? grime in the creases? sorry my English is not the best. please explain thanks

Just a technicall error, there isnt a ak47u, its ak74u
Nice model btw, try adding a specular map to the render, it will make it look much better

Check out this thread: http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=72813

some good tips, some bickering but for the most part some really good ideas.

Grime in the creases just means in the little inside corners of your model is a good place where dirt and grime would collect. adding that in your diffuse and spec would go a long way.

an AO map would really help sell this model better
