OHHITHAR! I thought I'd stop lurking and start posting. I have always been a bit intimidated to post here, because its full of such great artists. But now I think its high time I post my work here. Also, what better way to introduce myself than with a sketchbook thread! Currently I am unemployed though I did work at an…
[WITHDRAWING DUE TO UNENDING CASE OF ARTIST'S BLOCK AND LIFE KEEPING ME BUSY] I literally just joined for this contest, but this seems like a really cool place! Anyway, I'll be using something I made a while back, as a reference for my splash art for Dark Star Veigar. (As well as a nicer overall reference) I really like…
Maybe you could try a Shell material as the parent for the instances' material? Shell lets you set one material for the Renderer (i.e. your original full material) and a different one for the Viewport (no textures here!).
just bake and see. but a large detail like the shell ejection should just be modeled in, it;s not a very difficult shape. if it was me making it, i would model hte shell ejection right in, and float the bolts.
re: shells - there is a fx shader downloadable somewhere from nvidia that does this on solid geometry. means you don't have to actually model the shells yourself. it's apparently not too expensive to render either (one pass).

Hey guys, Jon Buran here! I'll be posting progress on my entry for the contest here, constructive critique is welcome! I'm going to be working on Arcade Riven to (hopefully) bring to full rendered splash image. I'm not entirely sure I can get the whole thing done in time for the contest deadline due to work, but I'll at…
either works, it is just easier to use the move UV's tool, or select 1 uv in the shell, and use the to shell. since it is rather hard to select to perfectly overlapping UV's with the plain old click selection or box selection.
Sorry I meant your UV shells. I assume you are mirroring them in the final layout considering your screenshots but you should avoid baking with overlapping UV shells by offsetting them before the process.
