BATtle axe

Sharky85

So this is based on a digital weapon tutorial, it was a bit outdated so i followed along losely and finished it up using my own process. Pictures are taken in UDK, some of the texture colors appear off, for example the blade has some black edges that dont show up on my texture sheet or in Max....anyways i feel a bit conflicted about the texture, i feel it could be better but not really sure how to fix it so suggestions are totally welcome!

I see what you did there 8D.

Textures a bit cloudy, Go in and sharpen up the areas where the blades been sharpened, and you lack separation in in specular quality like it could be higher in specularity on the edge of the blade.


It's also really unnecessary to to have four maps for this guy. Combine them down and straighten out those UVs, you're wasting a lot of space.

Hit up the Wiki for Help on the UVs and there's a great hand painted realistic blade tutorial you should check out also!. Good Luck!

The bat shapes look fairly blobby. The look more like zbrush strokes than a bat or an axe.

What material is the handle? It would probably look better if the handle was straight.

I like it and the idea as a whole but the bat shape/silhouette reminds me a lot of the Bacardi logo. Also the normals/texture on the edge of the left wing looks off.
