Additionally, here are some general notes from looking at the meshes: * Highpoly (for example 'head_high') has some hard edges which will show in the normal map, would shade those soft * If the edges come out too tight, I would exaggerate the bevels of the highpoly some so they hold up when viewed at a distance. Wiki: Edge…
Love it, congrats on finishing! Though I would love to see a bit more backlighting on things, the color is so extreme it's a bit monochromatic. For example, the cool shadows give this kind of shot more visual interest: https://www.deviantart.com/arsenixc/art/Small-Japanese-provincial-town-sunset-after-rain-926914033…
I recommend you inspect some existing 3d models of rifles matching your standard (e.g. search "rifle" on sketchfab, check UVs). Unlike in your example, you will find that on several rifles the UVs of the stock consist of 2 islands with the seams running vertically along the gun. UV islands shape represent shape of the mesh…
Hello all, it's been ages since I've been on this forum! This may seem kind of convoluted, but I will try my best to explain my question. I am looking to blend two height materials to displace geometry on a mesh using the vertex painting. I have seen examples on the forum that show how to create material blending using OSL…
For broken brick edges, you can model a section of broken wall and make it modular, then add individual bricks to break up the silhouette. For example, look at the roof tiles here https://polycount.com/discussion/91066/pirate-castle-udk/p1
I have been seeing alot of people talking about that this is all nostalgia. I think not. I think music in gaming has changed. From the early 90's where songs for games where developed much like hit songs that could play on the radio, into something moore modern where music acts much as an atmosphere provider moore than an…
looking good, great update, have you tried using a grid? its an old technique for checking your studies. It was used a lot before computers, but its still great for studies, since you dont just overlay the reference and "cheat" your way through =P you still have to analyze the result and paint yourself. here is a quick…
I think it looks good! What happened to the broken parts that you wanted to model in? You could model out some trims on the bottom of the fountain like in this example. If they are not too exessive you could even get away with it without baking it anew. If you're not quite sure how to do it check out this tutorial. She…
Ok shit is getting serious guys ! Some of you might have noticed that EXT2 has a nice mitering technique that allows you to have clean topology on corners.This is great but EXT2 still breaks the geo on complex meshes and while SS will behave differently on 2016 < and 2016EXT2 > i think having a clean topology is something…
