Re: GameTextures.com - It's like CGTextures, but for video games!
This is, personally, a godsend for me. My texture skills aren't the best and when trying to create my own textures from photo reference and handpainting, it often results in huddling in a corner and crying into my shirt. Nobody wants to see that. Having a base of textures to go off of that are designed to work with games… -
Re: Crit my Textures: To hell and back!
Vig posted this TF2 wood texture image back in this thread http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=71221&page=2 (There are actually a couple handpainted threads in technical talk you might want to look at.) Maybe it can help. You mentioned something about trying to be like a mix between WoW and TF2, and I haven't… -
Re: Underworld, Selene WIP
I agree with @EternalEcho The head needs to have a second look at. When it comes to hair though, it depends on the applications you are using. But I can suggest Adam Skutt's tutorial (on gumroad) for game res hair with Maya and Xgen. There's youtube videos of ornatrix and GMH2. You can handpaint the textures in photoshot.… -
Re: Luzny Anti-Air Tank
Thanks guys. I wanna ship a few color schemes rather than having a "main" one, since customization is such a big thing with most games. I'm thinking the blue, tan, and green, both flat and with the camo pattern. Maybe the white also. A nice thing with PBR nowadays is how easy it is to change the albedo color without having… -
Re: Normal Map displayed flawless in Marmoset, bad in 3ds Max & Vray
Would it may be easier, in terms of technical hassle at least, to create tileable maps in substance designer, for instance, instead of modelling individual highpoly and trying to generate maps from that? Even getting displacement-maps to work properly is a pain and i'm growing a bit mad right now. I'm willing to buy and… -
Re: Right.. time to draw!.. oh wait I can't
I try to draw when I have time. I think it helps me quite a bit. It makes me think a little more. Since lighting, texture, colors, etc...have to be done by hand, it tends to make you think more, which can result in more creative 3d work. Since I've been getting a little more comfortable with painting in photoshop, I've… -
Re: Splodgy Wood Normal Maps
I'm trying to create a similar look to these : - I've used Nvidia's photoshop plugin and pixplant, pixplant creates a much nicer normal map than the Nvidia version, but I create these based on a greyscaled ( and tweaked ) version of my diffuse, and I just seem to end up with too much detail ( porridgey look ) - where the… -
Re: Do I want to integrate SD/SP into my workflow?
I see, so, for example, if I had created a wall model, I wanted to add a handpainted wood texture to it, I could do that? By this, I wouldn't really want to paint the wood on the model directly, rather paint the wood on 2D image and apply it to the model. Could I also get textures from the internet and apply them to… -
Re: Summer Improvement Thread.
X-Post from the monthly Character challenge. I started really late, but it was still pretty enlightening as to my work flow. Really helped me identify where I was lacking. Not strong enough at handpainting to really make this piece pop and be finished, properly. Need to practice painting techniques. Really should figure… -
Re: stuff
thx again! dehebo: I´ve not submitted anything. Ghostscape: if you look at their arttest-page you see they give you no timelimit at all but normally you get one the scene has more polys then allowed and it took me.. hmm between 3 and 4 weeks?! no idear.. it would be unfair to compete with others who are working on this…
