I recommend you inspect some existing 3d models of rifles matching your standard (e.g. search "rifle" on sketchfab, check UVs). Unlike in your example, you will find that on several rifles the UVs of the stock consist of 2 islands with the seams running vertically along the gun. UV islands shape represent shape of the mesh…
Welcome to Polycount! This is great, love your style. I wish your texturing was a bit more sharp. Might have do with your texturing packing. If the whole diorama is packed into a single texture sheet, that really limits you. I would suggest instead packing according to prop type. For example, the computer prop and…
"It’s meant to be a functional military unit, not a relic" From my experience, rapid fire heavy weapon muzzle/barrel jacket discoloration becomes a factor mainly due too heat after extended use hence on occasion the barrel may become unservicable (shot-out) and replaced. Example - 50 cal MG
Hello all, it's been ages since I've been on this forum! This may seem kind of convoluted, but I will try my best to explain my question. I am looking to blend two height materials to displace geometry on a mesh using the vertex painting. I have seen examples on the forum that show how to create material blending using OSL…
Hey guys! First post on polycount! I Wanted to share this piece, I hope you like it! Introduction I love games like Dead Island or Requisition VR. For this portfolio piece I wanted to get inspired by the crafty, impossible yet believable weapon designs of these games. What better than C4 attached to something like a…
I decided to re-assess my this pieces' textures ... again :) The original was too plain. The second was too overly chipped and the wear was too "painted on". I have learn much about texturing since then and I believe this is a major improvement. Less chipping, more roughness variation and more based on real examples. I'm…
Hi! I recently started learning marvelous designer, and I'm already got stuck on basic controls. I can't for the life of me figure out how to drag and select multiple objects in 3d view! It says right here in the manual: But no matter what I try, it doesn't work. Selection rectangle doesn't appear. I can only click on…
I have been seeing alot of people talking about that this is all nostalgia. I think not. I think music in gaming has changed. From the early 90's where songs for games where developed much like hit songs that could play on the radio, into something moore modern where music acts much as an atmosphere provider moore than an…
looking good, great update, have you tried using a grid? its an old technique for checking your studies. It was used a lot before computers, but its still great for studies, since you dont just overlay the reference and "cheat" your way through =P you still have to analyze the result and paint yourself. here is a quick…
I think it looks good! What happened to the broken parts that you wanted to model in? You could model out some trims on the bottom of the fountain like in this example. If they are not too exessive you could even get away with it without baking it anew. If you're not quite sure how to do it check out this tutorial. She…
