So made this: CE3: Diffuse: While I'm pretty happy with plain diffuse (at least I think it doesn't look that bad), in engine it doesn't really look good.. Any advices ? Of course any crit or advice is welcome.
IT seems your diffuse is pretty flat. In terms of metal. Just seems like a flat color with dripping water grunge. I'd work on getting a better texture for metal. And boost those diffuse colors.
So here's the lowpoly version.. still some tweaking to do ,but i like it! This one is with the proper diffuse texture. The reddish tint render is just with Ambient Occlusion map as diffuse texture (just testing..)..
Coll,Ilove those color variation. I want to confirm the color you did was painted to diffuse map ? I think it is not baked by engine light? Can you shouw some diffuse map?
Good work, but I have to say diffuse and specular doesn't match. Look at the specular highlight at his leg - it seems that the surface is clear and metallic, when diffuse suggests very rough and used one.
I was mainly using the diffuse , good example of conservative texturing ;p I'm wary of adding too much contrast into the diffuse and increasing repetition. I'm considering some subtle discolouration through the shader.
Thanks for liking it and very valid comment by Ghostscape. I will be fixing it and dirtying up the diffuse a little bit. I will try subD meshes on my next project. Here is a different angle and one of diffuse.
Hmm, I think im going to have to make a model dump thread. Anyway, here's more texture practise from me. A cement cover block, thing. Inspired by Gears of War. 1482 Tri's. 1024 Diffuse/Normal/Spec: Diffuse: Normal: Specular:
More texture practise from me. I think im getting worse lol D: Anyway I was thinking a Resi 4 kind of style while i was making this. It's 232 Tri's, and currently all its got is a diffuse map. 1024 Diffuse Map
Sometimes weird stuff like that will happen with the settings for how much the diffuse affects lightmass calculation (forget the proper terminology, diffuse boost maybe?). Also post a screen of just the lighting.
