I can understand using this technique for very old, heavily used and not maintained items, but it seems that it's used for every texture. Some of the quotes are "needs more dirt", "looks too clean", and "needs more wear" Is there something intrinsically wrong with making a new or well maintained looking item?
It's painted. I may reverse to a full red version (instead of pure wood) as in the image below, but currently, I left yellow color just to make better separation of details. In the original old version (which is not in Hawai, but in Japan), it's wasn't painted initially. But then it became painted too:
Another substance, wanted to make a good old organic work, but was looking for a twist too get away from all the generic one. With some experiment on i found something quite interesting ;p so here is my take on cavern rock but infested by spider ! artstation
right, it featured as a super weapon in many old fps games like deltaforce, soldier of fortuna, tacticalops the ones I can recall and non-final version of hl2 too, good find. though I am doing the less depicted version here. lowpoly wireframe
Well I don't really mind much whether he's old or not, I just wanted to point out that if people have a wrinkly face, they tend to have wrinkly shoulders and arms too. And in this case, the elf had a very wrinkly face but super young looking arms.
Imagine it as smooth resin layers pasted over each-other, a good reference is some of the old ww2 MP40s used the materials for their body (The brown parts in most images). I think most AK74 mags are the same material too albit rougher. Hopefully these help :D
Thanks guys, I'll post wires later today, Thanks for the crit, I agree with a lot of it. I think it's too old of work to go back to it now but I will remember for the future from the mistakes made here. :) the breakdown is in the book so I wont post that here.
I'm way too cheap for these things. I'll just get an old HP TX series off ebay and stick windows 8, and some nice graphics apps on it. The Wacom digitizers built into them aren't the greatest but they are decent for sketching around, and the pens are pressure sensitive but not great.
Looks cool, very Eat3D-like! I have a slight Gears of war feeling too. But I don't know if that was a key line for the challenge but I find it really noisy. You can always make old&demolished stuff that are less violent to the eye and look good.
EDIT: oops...somehow erics post was not visible, sorry for still posting^^ Damn...I am probably way too late :( But anyways, here is my Wood Oak Old, sadly....tiling is super visible on the sphere so I have a billard table to show as well ;)
