Always enjoy seeing pieces like this man, really nice.

I also like the style of it, seems a bit bulkier... more stylized which really adds some character to such a "well known" object (see these trucks in many ww2 games).

nice man

very very nice, and for only a 1024 by 1024 texture that's impressive. Can we see the texture sheets?

vj_box · Jan 2009

i love them dodgeas!,can you also share some of the construction sheets?
I am eager to see them as well.

Thanks guys! Here we go:

looks cooll dodgeas,k tell me this,how much do you use 3ds max here for processing your normal maps? i believe u have also used zbrush in your pipeline,so some maps should have been processed form there as well.
What edge padding value u use when generating the normal map from 3ds max using RTT?or do use any third party plugin?. Looking at ur normal map,it looks like the UVs are tightly placed,with out padding.Is this fine as far as the mips are concerned,if they are used in unreal.

Thanks man!

Vj_box > acutaly i use 3dsmax for baking normals RTT, all maps i process using 3dsmax (final render for GI and ambient occlusion baking, i get best results with it), normal maps using deffault scanline. Edge padding i use 4-8 (2048 map 8 pixels of padding), placing maps in uv space i leave spaces fort padding, so no seams appear downscaling maps or even in unreal engine.
Thanks!

wow ! I am a big fan! Your MR render is brilliant and Iam i am dgging your baking methods. Max is awesome., with side Xnormal. Brilliant!

Thanks for the wires/texture sheets too awesome stuff.. Quick question.. So, did you rescale the textures down to 1024? I think this is what confuses nooblets. I see 2 textures at 1024x1024 which is two 1024 sheets shy of a full 2048x2048 texture space. So are the textures you posted at final game res at 1024x1024 and you were allowed 2 of them?

Aside from the tire treads a really well executed piece

Dodgeas3d · Jan 2009

Dekard > sorry for confusion. Actually working (psd) is 2048x2048 (as MR renders, each dif, spe, nor.), and in game (real-time down-scaled to 1024x1024- each). I just combined these normal and specular maps to 1024x1024 sheet not to have them separate ti preview. All textures are 1024x1024 size! (Difuse -1024, spe - 1024 ...etc)

Awesome work! :thumbup: :thumbup:
