Re: How many maps/ textures for main character?
There's all sorts that it could be. Head/body are usually on their own maps, so that's maybe eight right there if you have diffuse/alpha, normals, spec/gloss, illumination or SSS. Some games go further and have e.g. head/body/arms/eyeball, so it adds up quickly. Hair/fur is sometimes on its own sheet, especially likely if… -
Re: Texturing, how can i get better?
Looks like you're only using a spec and not a gloss map, you may want to plug your current spec into your material as a metalness map. Besides that the texture isn't bad, the concept itself is really bland and it's really hard to tell there's any bevels at all. And you seem to be having some of a dichotomy issue with… -
Re: Bad Neighbourhood
Did your teacher say you had to build a low-spec scene? To be honest, your teacher doesn't seem very good. Has your teacher ever worked in the industry in the last 8 years? Even PSP games and DS games support 100,000 tris in a scene; I just don't understand how building such a simple scene can build any skills for… -
Re: Toxic Swat Midget
Here's getting to the finishing point. Disturbed by by UV's and bakes, I re-did the low-poly, re-mapped him and re-baked all the parts. Way better bake, way more efficient setup in the end. Started texturing him this morning, so here's the 80% done texture. Spec maps need some work, but I'm getting fairly happy with him.… -
Re: New pc Rig - thoughts!
Looks Like Cyberpower? As mentioned in this thread: http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=68683 You might need a bigger PSU. Your mobo only supports 2 sticks of RAM, so upgradability on this puppy is poor, you'll be stuck at 4GB. The parts these places normally use are not of quality, and Im surprised to even see… -
Re: [UDK] Small town
I finally got the truck properly uv'd for udk, but still the specular highlights are not baking very well, everything looks great before the bake, but some how the spec isn't matching up like the smooth body of a car should. The shadows on the bake look great, but that damn spec ruins it. I decided I'll just use mamroset… -
Re: Desktop Replacement Laptops
Anyone here with MSI? I got myself MSI GT683 this year and I have to say I'm pretty damn satisifed. It's a "gaming" laptop so the design is vomit inducing and its pretty damn heavy. But it feels quite sturdy and durable. The specs are pretty damn good and I ultimately ended up ditching my desktop. I wouldn't recommend… -
Re: Sketchbook: NGS616
Thanks Ged. I'll work on the lighting and atmosphere some more today. I seen those two environments before and i really liked them. Thanks for posting them, they are great UE3 references for my scene. I really need to make some spec maps. Right now they don't have any ! :X ! I think thats contributing a lot to the… -
Re: Modular Environment- Steampunk Inspired
Hey its been awhile since I have updated this. Mostly due to the fact that I have been making small strides and overcoming obstacles. However, I have finally started to make what seems like a lot of progress. Here is what I have so far: I do have some more issues to figure out with lightmaps. I also have to work a little… -
Re: M-308 Gunner (Metal Storm) WIP
Yea that is a pretty huge improvement with the optimization. I am assuming you have seen some of the good metal game texturing tutorials out there. But I suggest you just keep at it. Isolate 1 area and work on that, say the arms. Give that arm a visual boost in the texture and spec and make that look the way you want all…
