Re: How do Specular Level, Specular Color, and Gloss Maps work together?
The best think you can do is observe the materials you want to recreate. I am definitely not the best person to explain this but i will try any way:Specular - brightness determines how strong your specular is- if it is white it will be very strong if it is black - there will be no specular. Gloss determines how wide the… -
Re: Character - Big Fat Mutant
Right now the biggest issue is texel-density I'd say, it looks blurry from piece to piece. It feels like you have lots of wasted space in your texture sheet and no mirroring to make up for it. Do the straps need all that? I mean the upper-body is the biggest, it should have the biggest space on the texture sheet, except… -
Re: Wow Legion environment art - Faf
@SergeyA : Hi ! So currently in Wow we are still mostly using diffuse maps. We are trying the past expansions to add more maps more often like emissive maps and "specular" maps ( which is actually more a B/W mask for an environment map). So my sculpts are principally made for diffuse textures but I'm actually using normal… -
Re: Medieval Dungeon [UDK]
I think the chair is looking better - But for even greater results I think you need to take a step back and analyze how those embossed patterns are actually made in real life. While it is common for them to be carved directly in the wood like that, I believe it is far more common for them to be carved from a separate piece… -
Re: GameTextures.com - It's like CGTextures, but for video games!
Nice, this is a great resource for indy or modders. I'm not sure if I would use it personally. Looking at it from a professional stand point it really would depend on how much a studio focuses on art production speed and cutting corners. I'm already worried about seeing portfolio's with stuff they haven't actually textured… -

Re: bounch's items!
Hey belkun, Thanks! My usual workflow regarding that is typically baking color and normal from the HP like usual, then in PS I use nDo2 to grab an AO, Cavity, and 'Diffuse' (kinda like cavity but with more info), which I composite together. Lately I've been baking object space and using Handplane to generate the tangent… -
Re: Hand painted Bonner orc WIP
I may have unintentionally misled you a bit in my previous feedback. Shadows and light sources are definitely okay on diffuse painted models, but I personally would avoid having completely black (and white for that matter) areas. It looks like you removed most of your shadows after my post. I think it's perfectly okay to… -
Re: Aston Martin DB9
Thanks everyone Zack - yeah i've been playing with different methods of doing AO for most areas that don't move or reflect highly. Probably gonna give give the entire interior a 1024x512 diffuse and and most of the engine/boot/misc bits a 512x256, basic AO and a little colour variation should really make shit pop. Stefan -… -
Re: Concept Station Terminal
Maybe this can help with your spec map in the metal areas: http://www.iddevnet.com/quake4/ArtReference_SpecularMaps but in my humble opinion, I think go back to your diffuse and work on it a little more, try to add a metal overlay to help sell it for the metal parts. for plastic, well.. not sure if there's much to do on…
