Finally had a chance to work on the truck for a little bit. So far I have a first pass complete, with focus on the diffuse and normals. As it stands, there hasn't been much love placed into the Spec map yet. Here are my results thus far. I also have the 50 cal mounted with the baked normals and high poly AO thrown on. 2048…
I love the modeling and texturing but having all these details baked to a normal map and not have a specular map seems like a waste, without a spec map none of the details will really show. I'd either go full next gen (you don't need to go overboard on the spec, but use it to define materials better) or just drop the…
Well it *is* an idea. :) To use a texture with the extra data, the engine would need to have the file spec and code to do so, and be efficient at it. Common steganography methods exploit certain aspects of the target file format, which would need to be hacked in some way to be used on common game image formats. Any…
Looks ace but I would probably pull the spec out of the darker areas. At the moment he looks a bit wet. Plus if everything has the same amount of spec then nothing stands out and it looses a bit of depth. You could also put in tints of other colours in places like the legs and back to help "separate" the individual parts…
I know it's been a while since I updated here, but hello again, Polycount forums! I just thought I would show my fountain with textures and such on it in UDK, now that i've gotten it in there... Here's the spec. map (at least, I believe this counts as a spec. map. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong, I would really…
Thanks for posting. Modeling and textures (diffuse and normals look great for me). But I would have to agree that spec and glossiness look kinda similar for all models. That tends to make all models look like they were made from same kind of materials. I would love to see spec and glossiness maps if possible. Are they made…
i dont know if this was mentionened here before, but the whole thing looks kinda "flat" to me. maby crank up the spec by about 100%, this would get some more volume in here. like that render of the wall/floor with the footprints on it, that one +30% spec and normal intensity should bring this to life a bit more. right now…
Jump on the live chat and get Nividia to check you current set up and what cards are compatible to upgrade. I think they need to check the power supply specs, motherboard and software you use and they will give you a recommendation for upgrading you GPU. I did it and found my motherboard was too dated and power supply was…
I overlayed ambient occlusion in the color but i think I may have taken it off for the spec. Im definitly gonna work more on the spec, maybe increase the levels to give it more contrast. I also want to do more to the color map to really set the metal off. HELP: I eventually want to do a turntable rotation but when i rotate…
In all honesty this actually looks pretty good. Weight isn't heavy, and the specs look promising too with the i7 and 8gb RAM options. I reckon if you go with the SSD, you could pick up that thing and walk around without worrying about moving parts. Wonder if the heat generated is a lot too, those are some hot specs. This…
