Pokemon Subway WIP

Scizz

I decided to work on my first real UDK scene( by real I mean completely or mostly with my own assets) I'm going to use this thread to post my work in progress so tell me what you think!

Heres my reference:


I'm also using just general real life subway train references as well, but this is my main idea.

I made a material for the floor of the train:


I wasn't sure whether to take the flat texture approach or sculpt the texture with Zbrush or something. What do you guys think would be better. I think for this project this material is fine but I'm probably wrong. = p

Scizz

yea the subway car floor is supposed to be rubber

I just started UV unwrapping(livestream.com/scizz) ahh i hate this part. =(

Edit: I'm having a really hard time UV/ Texturing this thing. It's jsut the way I Unwrapped it I think. I'm takin' a break.

Alright I finished the model and finally baked a good low poly. (After reading and researching to fully understand how its done):

Here's the result in UDK with placeholder textures:




I circled the problem areas in red. That isn't a problem before I bake lighting.
Is this a common issue?

I have that problem all the time.. Supposedly its something to do with the UV's in your light map channel.
This is the only way I know how to fix it, im sure there is a better way but this will help.

ahhh. i don't wanna have to mess with my UV's anymore. Besides most of the problems will be blocked off with meshes. I'll see how things go and if necessary I'll fix it this way
