Fantasy Dagger (Next-gen)
polycounter lvl 14
This shot is from Blenders viewport. I used Blender (high poly, low poly, uv's, and viewing), Photoshop, xNormal and CrazyBump.

Other than that, it looks awesome, it conveys scale, has good form and function and manages to still look cool. Nice work.
I agree.
JonConley - Thanks. Yes it is.
Xaltar - It's not paint, it's patina. I could make the whole blade metallic, just like the scratched parts, but I though this way it will look more interesting.
slipsius - Isn't next-gen using normal maps from heigher poly models?
how large is that txtr map btw?
Nice work, now make more and get yourself a portfolio. It would also be nice to see wires and texture flats.
See my portfolio, wire and texture flats here.
1024x1024, as it says on the image. It's patina.
.....aside from that, nice one dude. :P
Oh, sorry. I thought it was to distinguish game assets using only lighting based on geometry from the ones using also maps (for example normal maps).
I removed it from the title.
Well, thats what it is in my opinion. But it's just not Next gen. It's current ;D
Well, only 3 1024^2 textures. And about five lights. I suppose it's not a big effort for the GLSL shader.
-Woog
Like previously mentioned though I am kinda curious how its held... my first thought was that its a 2-hander but after looking at it for a bit it started seeming more like a dagger.
Well done!

Ok, good to know. Sorry about the title, It seems that I can't change it now.
It just worked :P I mean, I first tried baking in Blender, and he couldn't do it, so I baked them in xNormal. Then viewed in Blender they worked fine.
Thank you
Really looking forward to reading this debate for the next few years :poly142:
Nice texture work on your blade, welcome to Polycount.
Nein! Vector displacement mapping!
You could try to render a vector displacement map + a normal map and play with the xNormal's DX10 tessellation ( see the spherical spikes example ). DX10 can perform that... but, of course, once DX11 is oficially released will be faster to render. Most of the games gonna use vector displacement mapping. That's probably the "next gen"!
