there are no hardset rules, just that if you dont bake high to low, the normalmap will be fighting with the shading on the lowpoly mesh. for flat surfaces, useing ndo2 or what ever works pretty good, i ussualy just tweak it a little and take down the blue channel on added details. in the end it doesn't have to be all 100%…
amirabd2130 - Thanks man, Ya the red did seem to bright but Ive decided to go with Black Fluor - Thanks man Ya I Chose black in the end. Almighty_Gir - Thanks man, Ya I lowered it in the images below, Too me it felt like the specular was to bright so I ended up lowering that. Okay guys here she is, Thanks for the support.
I've very little env art experience, but for a first ever env scene, this is a really great start! I'm not sure what mood you're going for though. In the reference images, the colours really pop, especially the greens. They seem a bit too desaturated in yours. The reflection from the water suggests that the sky should be…
Thanks for the help guys it has really helped me in choosing the right card :) Sorry EarthQuake, I should have stated the budget. Anything below £100 was what I was aiming for. In the end I ended up buying a GTS 450 for £77 which included postage, so I will have to wait and see if it is up for some SSS fun time in UDK.
Looks like you were losing some of your highlights as well, though. Check your levels in photoshop for that texture before sending it to UDK. With the levels, make sure that the beginning and end stopper are at the exact beginning and endings of the incline and decline, to bring a little more contrast into the texture.…
Great! So then the Japanese tentacle rape monsters should be showing up any time now! I wonder how long it will take to get the idea of everything has a beginning and a end out of humanity's understanding of life. I love my THE WORLD IS ENDING YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!! theory's just as much as the rest but its…
Come to think of it i've not really experienced working with others very much but i'd probably end up favoring it. I feel quite comforted when if I know im working along side someone and I can stop show them/see what theyre doing etc, keeps me more inspired and less likely to end up... here?
I cant help you at all with the MR issues, but I really liked the enviro so i wanted to throw in some compositional ideas. Put a plane as close to the camera as realistically possible in the top left corner, probably just the front end of the plane. Whatever looks good. And add a point of interest like a tank or an…
Kawe: thanks. I was gona do more veggies but I wanted to finish this soon. everytime i finish one thing i add another thing to the scene. it just seems to never end. so i have to end it off some where. GCMP: what I meant it was hard to find reference imgs for the textures not ready made textures.
Huge improvement over the old version, good job buddy. I'd say you could take another look at the end of the fabric, it has that kind of "made in a sculpting app" feel to the edge. Try looking at real fabric and see how the edge moves, then try to emulate that. It's particularly evident in the cloth drape over his…
