Re: Tron Inspired Environment WIP
Took a break from working on Flynn's Arcade and instead finished Flynn's Lightcycle. Texturing it took a surprisingly long time because I wasn't sure how to created the glossy shine. Most tutorials I read said to stay away from white diffuse color...which didn't work because the Lightcycle supposed to be white. I finally… -
Re: Giant Model Texture
On first glance, I would use a 1024 without tiling to create a starting layer of simple, general diffuse colors. Create a second UV channel that uses some careful tiling and / or mirroring to overlay grime, stains and discoloration on top of the basic coloration. Layer that onto the diffuse in the shader. If you're using… -
Re: UDK Matte Car Paint Material
I am not familiar with UDK model/material setups, but from working with models in Source I know that these types of textures are hard to get right. The reason is that mostly they are about reflections rather than the diffuse textures and getting this right can be hard. I would consider adding a very light noise overlay to… -
Re: [PBR] M4A1
Can I just ask as to your technique to UV Mapping? It's probably one of my weakest areas and I'm looking to improve, whenever I do a texture map, I use Quick Planar, Normal Unwrap and Pelt mapping depending on the size and shape of the object, but I end up with quite a basic UV Map, whereas yours is extremely tightly… -
Re: Heavy soldier
Ok, guys. I had some time and correct head scuilpt and spend a lot of time on diffuse, but im still dont like it. Here are renders from marmset toolbag, zbrush scuilpt and diffuse map. After 14 hours of work my eyes are blur and i cant understand whats wrong. Maybe you can help me. I dislike face. Its better but still not… -
Re: Need advice : asset production
The normal looks good, but your specular is just a slightly brighter version of your diffuse, and thats not the way to go, also your blade edge looks not correct Did you look at a reference for it ? Id be really surprised seeing a soft gradient for this. There are many ways making a blade edge into eye candy, look up some… -
Re: Iron Horde Handpainted Banner
@Torch : Thanks! I will! @tomenjerry : Heya! She goes by the name Faf on Polycount so I mentioned her in the first post. ^^ I used the green channel for top light, masked out the metal and did it more contrasty. Same thing for the cavity maps etc. AO. It's all there. I know Fanny uses matcaps for tiling textures but I'm… -
Re: [Portoflio] - Brian Hong Character Artist Critiques please!
the head isnt bad, but the diffuse is too dark to see the extreme detail, others have mentioned this. The monster is horrible, especially the sculpt, its clear you subd'd like 8 times before even touching it, which is the wrong approach, because of this the normal is only helping with texture, not forms. And the… -
Re: Art Deco Statue
mmmm.. A nice way to get Bronze, is a very dark reddish/brown diffuse, with a copper/yellow-ish spec. Seems like a lot of the grout and surface materials aren't really matching up IMHO. I really think the flatter/exposed areas should be cleaner, while the recessed areas are the parts that should accumulate the grout.… -
Re: Baking (good) normal maps in Max?
Thanks for the reply, I should have mentioned that I do test them - in Unity3D, which is where the assets are primarily meant to be used. I just tried smoothing groups again and now it actually made a huge difference: My normal maps look pretty ok now. I'm aware of the increased vertex count, though. I don't currently have…
