Some of the needed edge cuts seems to be distibuted all over the model ? Maybe good for concepting but this may should be optimized (for example showing the 3 to 1 quad transition) especially when there are so many planar areas (then even triangles are no problem).. the hood seems to need some of that details (green).…
Alex_J Well, that's the thing... How do I make good artwork without making good art, and how do I make good art without good modeling AND texturing because if i post acceptable models with bad texturing wouldn't that lower my chances of getting hired ?. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining, I just need some guidance and…
Looking nice so far. I would suggest adding some variance in detail, adding some lower-frequency areas for the eye to "rest". For example not using the same rock models everywhere, but having some differentiation. The roof opening looks a bit odd with the same high frequency rock as the lower walls, like it could cave in…
There's at least three separate types of baking artifacts present in each of the examples above: * Pixelation / jagged aliasing in the normal textures. * Bright highlights around UV seams and hard edges. * Dark shadows around the inner and outer edges of shapes. * Wavy edges around around the outsides of the cylinders.…
In the top row example is the Painter default "painted steel" material as is. I did for both of the examples paint in a mask to wear through to the metal underneath. In the bottom example I took a basic color color and placed a fill texture in (BnW spots 2). Does this read as painted metal? Can you tell what it is or are…
You asked for it. Remember you can also ignore this post. If you did not appreciate the response. Long story short; its very cold & mechanical but i don't see much cuteness & fun factor, (for me). Think a stylized approach to this kind of design would've spoken louder than a startwars rolling bot (one of the many they seem…
Hi! Cool to see an update. I must say though, the shading on the terminal still looks off, like the normal map is not working with the mesh shading. I would doublecheck against the shading in your texturing app that all looks as intended in engine. If you want a second pair of eyes on it, feel free to share files (for…
Since you mention naming and design. An interesting example would be dota and dota2. Dota originally being a warcraft3 mod and using the warcraft 3 heroes/names/some spells. Hero models: all of the hero models are basicly copied from the original designs, wich are all warcraft3 models. I probably wouldn't advice this,…
Oh, one more thing... As you your boot is quite square and stylized, i'm guessing you'll want to keep certain edges sharper, in that case, it's all about strategically placing loops on your base mesh. experiment putting loops where you wants sharpness, go back and forth until you are satisfied. *keep in mind also how you…
I ran some render tests and some of the ambient shadows were too strong(the metal piece at the bottom of the sheath, for example), but that was just because the object weren't close enough to eachother. The rest of the model was fine, so I decided to move on to texturing. I also prepared an ID map to have an easier time…
