Re: 3D Man Low Poly Game Model
Nice work so far. Since you mention "low poly", you should include a polygon count. Normal, specular, and diffuse texture maps are also a good idea. The texture is too shiny, especially on the clothing. His skin also seems to have an unhealthy blue-grey tinge, although some of that might be an overly blue light - posting… -
Re: Sketchbook: Add3r
Sat down and I thought I would experiment with normal, AO, and displacement baking within Maya through Transfer Mapping. Was interesting to say the least. Here is a quick writeup for future reference for myself and to explain my process to see if I could get some feedback if I did something askew! Thanks for checking it… -
Re: Creating 'cell-shaded' materials for static meshes
I tried this a LOOOONG time ago, so take what I say with a truckload of salt since alot could have changed since then. Generally speaking, Lightmaps are going to take into consideration the radiosity and bleed of light bounce, so I don't think it would be possible for said effect to be baked into lightmaps, at least in my… -
Re: [Art Dump] - Alberto Rdgrz - Warning: Image heavy.
Hey man, this is coming along. I agree with PixelMasher, there's no way you're going to bake this down to one map and have a texture that looks any good, much less one that picks up any of the details you are putting into it right now. Another way you could bake down some specific details and keep your texture resolution… -
Re: Baking - What temp?
It can apply to different things, but I think the most common one is when you take any information from a model or 3d scene and then put it into a static texture image. For example, one could bake lights and shadows into a diffuse color texture, or into their own lightmaps. Another big one is baking normal maps, in which… -
Re: Choosing material type for fresnel PBR purposes
Oxidation is a chemical process where metal ceases to be metal, so yeah, oxidized metal is no longer metal. Complex surfaces like iridescene materials, or certain fabrics can't be really represented with a standard material anyway, no matter how you fudge your metalness map, so you should use a specialized shader there.… -
Re: Robotron 2084 Arcade Machine
a few things about the texture because robotron is pretty great: -the coin door metal is bothering me. you have the kinda cloudy finish shapes, but they're in the diffuse too, so it makes it look super flat. if you look at photos of real coin doors, you'll notice that the surface is pretty bare on its own, and the texture… -
Re: Thompson Gun Texture practice
You're relying too much on the glitz and glamor of the rendering engine right now, this wouldn't look 1/10 as good in a game engine. Scale those effects down and just get a crappy standard lighting and rendering setup going and then you can really judge your textures at face value. For now I want to say your wood grain… -
Re: Viewing 3d Models Real Time
kio- yeah, I am glad I haven't had to do any complex hair setups with opacity for the reasons you mentioned. As for ben cloward's shaders, I have known about them for some time, however; he doesn't have one that fills all the slots I need (diffuse, normal, spec, emissive, and opacity) and definitely doesn't have the kind… -
Re: Fantasy Village Props
Looks good, nice consistency and style. However I have to agree with the normalmap comments, in fact it looks like you just took the diffuse textures into Crazybump and fiddled with the settings a bit - that will never create accurate normal maps for uniquely unwrapped objects. In fact I can see from some of the flat…
