So I'm done with the tombstones, maybe add the already mentioned arrows later on. I'm thinking of doing a texture soon as well adding some bricks to the floor which should be easy enough! Any comments or feedback dont hesitate! Thanks.
looks much better with Ao only, but the problem i have that i have many uv overlays (the wooden bricks and so on) If i make a Ao Bake, then it looks bad, is it possible to use 2Uv maps, one for the Ao and one for the Colors ?
i went and got a 180 gb laptop drive and a usb enclosure. the best part is the HD is powered from the usb so you you never have to plug it in. not carrying around another power brick in your backpack is really nice.
This piece won't be hitting an editor so they will just be rendered out in maya. I saw a nice texturing for environment the other day and now I cant find it, had a circle and arrows on a brick texture and showed how to use thirding and stuff. :/
Yea, it was dying. I managed to get the other router, and its super now. I didnt know they could have slow deaths. I thought they would work, or they would brick. The new router doesn't support dd-wrt though :(
There's a lot of things if you look at it at extreme angles its reflective, even things you wouldn't expect like roads and bricks, sadly this is the best example I can find right now http://www.carlespiles.com/artwork/431-2/
Here's a brick wall I did a little while back. Getting the grout to "poof" out took some R&D, but in the end it was super easy. Just combine a high res and low res version of the same heightmap together.
There are some meshes that have very high poly count for what they are. The brick wall can be flat planes/boxes and the column has a ton of edge loops that aren't making a difference to the silhouette. That is unless there are high poly bases prepped for scultping?
what I would suggest doing, is exporting an obj of the pattern for the roots out of UDK, and importing that and your bricks into your sculpting program, and sculpt in the damage based on where the roots are, otherwise, it will look pretty flat and not as good as it could look.
hmmmm looks a little....checkery, but to each their own design i guess. hahhaha. seriously though, looks cool, could you post a quick snap of the flat for those bricks? I think this is gonna turn out great man.
