Re: Flat Shaded
@OCASM - Hey man! that did it! even though it's not really like flat shaded on UDK (still got influence by ambient lights) but it's so much easier to see just the diffuse applied and also more easier to learn from the Forrest level as well~~ Anyway, welcome to Polycount! glad that you sign up for Polycount and reply my… -
Re: Facial modeling feedback please
I really think you need to start over with the modeling, the uv unwrapping is fine, but everything else needs a lot of work. The normal map looks like you just ran a diffuse texture through crazybump or something similar. The eyes are way to big and too far apart. Its hard to see any of the under lying facial structures… -
Re: Projection texturing workflow for games
The biggest issues I see with this is the crazy texture resolution you'd need to actually hold current gen expected quality and re-usability. Also this workflow clearly works better if you focus on diffuse maps only. I'd say tiling textures + decals gives you more freedom and more possibilities on what you can do with the… -
Re: Jacqueline Celestia - (3d female character)
Overall its a good piece. Though I think the armor could use some more work as far as the material is concerned. Right now its feeling flat compared to the rest. I'd try a darker diffuse color and some more detail work in the spec map. If your using a relection map I'd bump it up a tad as well. -
Re: Soul Edge
I <3 MightyPea's 8==D yeah man, remove those highlights and add a spec map. add some larger shaddow gradients to the diffuse. don't be afraid of making areas darker. play with your spec to get the surface looking like steel, then add grunge, dust, dirt, scratches, blood, greese, dents, etc. here and there. -
Re: how to make a chrome texture
i've applied my diffuse texture as a bitmap, as well as the specular map, as for the reflectivity, all the tutorials ive seen have gone through the raytrace tab but that doesn't have an option to apply a map to exclude areas in which you don't want reflective.. im not sure if things is what your asking or not im still kind… -
Re: Rich Diamant using Substance Designer
I see a lot of people looking for automated solutions for texturing. I work on old school diffuse only stuff and painting the texture is my favorite step, am I weird or is it no fun with current/next gen assets? Modeling is my least favorite part so it makes me a bit sad to see texturing turn into a node graph. -
Re: Reusing your own base mesh
Dreamer - I'm genuinely interested in the 2 day turnaround - what kind of specs are they ( tri-count/texture budget/normals or diffuse only? ) Personally, I find it hard to work form a 'blank' basemesh (kind of a like a blank white canvas for me..) - I normally make a customized basemesh for each individual i do to get the… -
Re: Maya: PSD Network vs UV Snapshot
PSD Network isn't only for a UV wireframe, you can also use it to link up different layers in the PSD to different nodes in Hypershade, so you can have diffuse, bump, specular, etc., all coming from the same PSD. Does that make sense? Here's a tut http://www.3dtutorialzone.com/tutorial?id=53 -
Re: District 9 - Game Scene
Nothing huge to pick on but the wheels feel kind of flat, the pattern on them isn't pronounced enough to make it look like they would offer good grip. Maybe if you increased the strength of the normal map on them or made the pattern more visible on the diffuse it would look better. That's just my noob opinion though :P…
