Re: Shipwreck
You can use modularity, but only for some of the smaller pieces - portholes, railings, cleats. You could conserve texture space by modeling individual planks, but this could easily use up your polygon budget. Railings of that sort would be extremely unlikely on a wooden ship. Most would have a solid, waist-high rail. The… -
Re: Skewed Specular Highlight?
Thanks Eric, I've been wondering about this issue myself. If you look close enough you will even spot this issue in UDK. When using modular meshes that use unique normal maps (and use a single smoothing group as a result) I've had issues where specular highlights would not align, even once the normal map was applied. To… -
Re: Which Details to Keep?
Just break that sucker up into modular chunks, that way you save on overall texture usage and the instanced polygons won't kill performance in whatever engine you decide to put this in. It's a little hard to see what you can specifically get away with here as you picture is a bit small and all you wires are blending into… -
Re: Backyard Style Environment
I think I will model out some stone slab variations and place them in the scene, as I think it will produce a much less noisy version (rather then just using a flat plane with a normal map) For my next project I was thinking of doing some modular building designs, so I think I will Incorporate a couple into the background… -
Re: Need a little advice...
pilang: That was my original thought process. I'm not thinking of spamming the company if I'm not able to land a position, though. rick: Wow, that's probably one of the best over-all critiques I've gotten on my 'folio. I really appreciate it. I've decided to not let this opportunity pass...since, well you never know,… -

Re: Large scale building struggle
Take a screenshot, do a paint-over in photoshop to get a feel for where you want unique details showing up, and then use that paint-over as a guide for figuring out the texturing techniques you'll use and the decals you'll make. Echoing the other comments, definitely chop it up into smaller/pseudo-modular UV unwrapped… -
Re: Sci Fi Wall Critique/Feedback
Hey man. Just some quick critique... Try to optimize the use of your texture space better. I'm not sure what your final plan is with the sides of your wall, but it seems like you could save a lot of space by stacking UV shells of the sides. If these pieces are going to be modular, how often would those sides even be seen?… -
Re: cliff modeling/texturing suggestions
Currently in the process of making some cliffs myself. Suggestion would be make a nice tileable cliff rock texture, place it on a flat plane and start sculpting out some of the details, either through modularity or just out of a single mesh. Basically you use your texture as your guideline to make cuts into the mesh and… -
Re: hoses and tubes?
Model them in groups and place them. Probably make modular mesh tiles that are specific sizes so you can use them in other places. I personally would use Neil's spline painter script to draw wires cables and pipes, its better than the one included in the Graphite Modeling Tools. You can also use regular splines. Don't…
