Re: Super Shorty [Shotgun-WIP]
Imo the spec is too noisy right now, you could tone down quite a lot of the grunge to get much nicer highlights. The grip could be pushed harder in the normal and spec to make it pop more. i.e http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/9/94043/1409210-870no1l.jpg I dont want to sound like a asshole but it seems a bit early for… -
Re: Old, wooden bed -- Mod asset
Ouch... What made you think adding a few hundred polygons to the broken beams end was a good idea, but keeping everything else so basic was ok...? I don't even know where to start with this :p So before I suggest anything, what mod? Whats the target environment and what spec are you working with, i.e. diffuse only?… -
Re: tri's vs. quads (presentation wise)
If you show an in-game render, then obviously it's triangulated and is how the final output engine interprets the smoothing. Which, to me, addresses the cons for displaying it as quads. If it looks good as a beauty shot in-engine, and as a quad mesh in (whatever), then it should look good as tris in (whatever). Maybe you… -
Re: BFA Final - Secret Government Base (UDK)
Happy to help! You don´t really need to multiply the spec, but if you want to increase it slightly you can multiply it with a much smaller number like maybe 1.5 or so. you could also add a Power before the multiply to get more contrast. I prefer to make the changes in photshop, unless i´m creating a spec from a diffuse… -
Re: Raztt Portfolio - C&C Pls
Updates look great. With the update to the mausoleum I would put that at the top, it's the best piece. Warehouse looks bland in comparison (although still a good piece). Hate to nitpick, but I'd show a different area of the normals on the shield. Normals are pretty important and the area you selected has a low resolution.… -
Re: simple old sword
Hey xazas, your shield is looking pretty cool but the metal looks a bit like rock. I've had that issue in the past but mainly the wear/damage is to rough. You want a smootther surface with scratches. I'm also not sure if you have specular maps. If you do they aren't apparent enough so I would increase the intensity of the… -
Re: Zbrush and 3DS Max Texture Problem
I decided to use the same model, but render it with mental ray instead. I made a basic target light, and a plane below the model so that the light would bounce onto some of the darkest parts, and, though the seam is still noticeable, it's definitely not as obnoxious (same increase in specular setting and the bump [normal… -
Re: Fairbairn-Sykes knife
i agree with fonfa. The rust/corrosion spots on the blade contrast a lot more with the metal in the ref image than they do in your renders. I'd add some slight spec variation on the handle as well, in the ref image it appears to be slightly roughed-up. Edit: I'm retarded, didnt realize right away the ref image wasn't… -
Re: Mike670 work thread
hey DDuckworth, Thanks for the great tips! I actually had spec maps on those :poly136: but they were not configured correctly, I don't know why I didn't show maps. separating the uv's made the normals much better! so here we go, here is the metal block thing, Getting better? diffuse normal specular and I bumped up the spec… -
Re: Jinx, the loose cannon, Tits WIP
I agree with doing more metalic look. Maybe not as harsh as show on the original image from video. Do play with the spec/gloss on specific areas, cause now it looks more like leather then metal (gloss/spec is to much overall the same) + some worn out edges (lighter colour of the base colour) can do magic when it comes to…
