Re: Texturing a simple static mesh; I just can't figure this out :(
Great advice from joeriv up there, but just to further emphasize his point.. Absolutely do not just take a photo of a locker and slap it on. The result will look pretty dang bad. Watch Mike Snight's sci-fi floor texturing tutorial on 3DMotive; I think it will give you a much greater understanding of the texturing process… -
Re: Asura Architecture [Environment / Scene]
Some more crits: I'm not an environment artist, but I recommend putting more into your diffuse texture. For all their declamations on being painterly at ArenaNet, they were never shy about using photos and grunge to really give textures interest and impact. Maybe also look at some oil slicked rocks or something like that… -
Re: Pirate Lamp Post
* With your object selected. In the polygon menu color-create empty color set. * In color menu again select batch bake (Mental ray) Option Box. * "Bake to" should be set to vertices, check bake set override and set color mode to occlusion, click convert and close. * You model should now look black and white, to make the… -
Re: Lighthouse
Hey man, pretty nice stuff here. I definitely dig the lighthouse. A few suggestions though. The brick normal/bump on the lighthouse is really weak. It's so faint that you can barely see it. Give that badboy some more depth. Also the brick texture seems to have a bit too much shine to it. If you look at the full length… -
Re: Trying to texture like Naughty Dog (Critique is Welcome Here])
Thanks again for the feedback I focused on getting the bad moss out, getting better moss in. Painted a new moss texture in Zbrush then blended it all in via masking in PS. This version also has cavity reduced substantially. The second arrangement of bricks has to have the sand part completely redone. I worked on the file… -
Re: Luchadore Low poly
Thank you everyone for replying! :D Thanks to my favourite polycounters (esp Zwebbie,Ruz and shotgun) and all they're help, I AM DONE :0D Presentation Construction: I learned a shit load of things on this one :-) That shadow is just matte shadow projected onto a plane and used as a diffuse (inverted diffuse used as alpha)… -
Re: W.I.P Old Superman Head.
There are many different methods to creating a face diffuse. Personally the way I try and work is by: a) Setting up my Ambient Occlusion and Cavity maps. b) Establishing the base colours in separate layers so they can be easily tweaked. c) Giving the entire face a base skin texture to start me off. d) Painting in minor… -
Re: Building an environment - Evil Genius hidden forest base
Ok Adam Sensei I'm gonna add to my list of questions, and number them for ease of replying! 1. Did you use a normal map on your rocks, and if so was this baked or generated from the diffuse? 2. How did you scatter your ground foliage, not the trees, just the grass/plants/reeds etc. I've tried using DecoLayers but I'm… -
Re: My experiment with Lightmaps in UVch2
Hmm, ok, couple more questions... 1) Just say I was doing a lightmap for the purpose of the engine, does my original theory still make sense that it's ok to overlap/flip uv's? 2) So just for portfolio reasons I want to have some sort of detail map. So for (a made up) example, I have 4 wheels. I had a small texture budget… -
Re: Hallway Section
Thanks for the advice so far. I had to go through reformatting my computer and reinstalling stuff, but I got back on this today. I agree with taking the lighting out of the diffuse map, I just enjoy doing that and having that makes it a touch easier for me when it comes to actual lighting. Anyways, here it is now in Unreal…
