Parking Barrier (!!!)

Cryocat

Trying to a get a few more mundane props knocked out, heres the current one:
Concept:


WIPS:



I'll probably be adding another grunge pass and reworking some of the spec (i'll post my current maps and screen grabs momentarily). Crits always welcome and appreciated.

Cryocat

Textures and Wires:

Oh, and textures currently at 2048 but I'll be knocking them back down to 1024 when I'm done.

Sparkwire

wow, you pretty much nailed the concept 100%.

Cryocat

Thanks!

One thing I'm thinking of reworking is the stripes on the barrier poles (needs a few more and thinner stripes) and making the poles themselves a little longer and thinner

Nice. I would adjust the levels on the normal map to give it a little more contrast, as well as some grunge, but I believe you already said that it's great that you've chosen to do a more 'mundane' model instead if a huge epic environment. I really need to crank out some of these as well!

Cojax

Nice parking barrier. However this is not game ready. Normally with something like this you would keep the leaves on a separate texture, and make this a multi-sub object. Also 1024 is WAY to big for something like this. If you got rid of the leaves and optimized your UV's you could fit this on a 512 with out losing to much detail / texture density.

Cryocat

Thanks for the crits guys. I'll get to work on that Cojax. So all plant matter on a seperate small texture sheet then?

On aesthetic note, that barrier pole still looks way too bright and pristine, if you are working it some more, may wanna try increasing the scratches and depth as well tone down the colors a bit. The metal box thingy in the middle could also use some contact grunge and shadows where it's meeting the concrete though doesn't look it in the reference.

What's with all the loops in the middle by the way?

Cryocat

First quick and dirty (ha...) grunge pass. and new plants. Also texture maps are currently at 1024 x 1024 and plant-stuffs are on a separate texture sheet at 512x512 (for the moment).

Right now, there's an obvious and harsh edge around the dirt/leaf pile. Perhaps losing that edge by adding some additional dirt/leaves on an alpha plane might do the trick. Otherwise, looks great! As Sparkwire mentioned earlier, you pretty much nailed the concept.

Cryocat

That's a good idea, I think I'll actually start on that alpha/blending next. Thanks!

brandoom

I'm sure this would probably look fine with a 512 texture. You'd never get away with a 1024 in a studio.

Regardless, looks good. Nice work.

Alberto Rdrgz

looks great man.

You know what to do.
