Re: My Retirement Home - 3d enviro WIP
bull pucky its completelypossible and awesome to create great art without normal or spec these days. my advice work on poly distribution you have tons of polys in small objects, the barrels, propane tanks, and satalite dish, and the trailer is a bloogy low poly block, cinder blocks also have far to many edges that do… -
Re: stone wall problem need some advise please
I kind of take issue with people suggesting you need geometry to make a stone wall with depth. This texture could be improved to have added depth while still on a flat plane. One thing I'd consider is changing the approach you are taking in Zbrush. I'd try to place the stones as separate objects and put them at different… -
Re: 1 unit difference 3DS max
1st, it would be good to post your fix so other people who stumble on this thread while looking for answers might get one ;) 2nd, one thing it could be... How many sides does the cylinder have? Is it divisible by 4? If not, your cylinder could have 2 flat sides (East and West) and 2 pointy sides (North and South). The… -
Re: [WIP] Atoq Navarro Fan Art
@Jakub Grab a better reference photo, at least one with more resolution :D - This is what i talked about before, it´s a semi dirty test in photoshop but maybe it´s useful. Shadowed some areas to fakeAo into the plane & enhance specular strands highlighting others. - In toolbag 3, kinda extreme for easy differentiation : -A… -
Re: Swordman
Your concept art is really great, but your models fall flat. The specular maps make him look like plastic/pleather. The smoothing groups make everything too round with no defined shapes. The normal maps don't seem to be doing anything useful. The diffuse is is alright, but it needs some consistency in producing interest -… -
Re: [Portfolio] - CG Nick - critique
Looking at your artwork I'd improve on materials and textures. Your guns for instance look very pale to me. The bolt action rifle is the better of them since it has some clearly defined dark areas creating some contrast across the rifle. The lighting on the other two is pretty much straight on which make them flat. Set… -
Re: Dawn of War: Thousand Sons CSM (56k beware)
good to see u posting man! u 2 did a very nice job together the skin has some nice touches, like the wires casting shadow down at the cloth thing the gun looks very nice too imo the thing is, i think the gun is the best part of the model. the design is much more striking than that of the model. theres more contrast between… -
Re: Concept to environment: Wasteland Waystation
Oh god I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. It's almost 6k tris?!?!?!?! That's as much as a character in a lot of games. In my opinion the asset is just way too small to be that high. You really need to try to get it to maybe 800(which is still a lot for something that big) tris or less with a 512x512 texture. I'm… -
Re: Normal Map Shading
Offhand, I can think of a few things things that might cause this sort of problem. Possibility #1: It could be that your rendering program and your map-baking program used a slightly different method to calculate tangent space, and ended up with slightly different results. To test this possibility, apply a flat blue… -
Re: Building detailing
if all edges are flat and with sharp edges the normal wont pick up anything in my experience, itll read as a flat surface. Your AO bake will remedy some of this, though. But honestly, with a solid LP cage on this, itll bake nicely. Those smaller surface details will be fine, and the larger ones should be geometry anyway.…
