Re: Alley Way Environment
good stuff for one of your first zbrush sculpts! I'm not positive if its the problem, but i think you need to play with the gloss value of the garbage bag, if you're not familiar with gloss maps, just plug a constant into the specular power node in the material in UDK. I'd use a high value (tighter highilght), have a play… -
Re: Torchlight Fan Art
Thanks for the kind words and crits guys! Neox: Yeah, I find the sketchrender function actually pretty useful because it gives you a different view on the model. Sort of like when are doing 2d art and you flip it horizontally to see it from another perspective. Anyways, it helps me "see" the model better, when I have been… -
Re: Specularity Maps
I was told by my instructor to create a spec color map all you have to do is turn up the saturation in photoshop on your diffuse map. it worked pretty good for me. hope that helped... Well your instructor is wrong :P When painting a specmap you'll end up doing much more 'material thinking' work with it than with the… -
Re: Neverwinter Nights 2
I'm sorry but NWN2 the environments look "good" because they are using reflective water and auto generated speed tree assets. There is no art direction needed there. The one place it was needed was for the characters and environment props. Thats where they failed. The main thing we care about here is the art and how it… -
Re: What Are You Working On? (3D) 2025
@ Joopson I just think it needs more areas of interest, looks a little bit diffuse right now. maybe zoom in more on the actual buildings as the foreground is not as interesting, but maybe add some stones , rocks etc the key lock things are quite cool, but they are hidden in shadow . as @iam717 mentioned , needs more bevels… -
Re: Road To Vostok: no specular, no roughness, no gloss
It's quite self-explanatory when looking at the provided assets really isn't it ? Models textured to look good without just a single diffuse texture with some faint top-down shading built-in, ending up looking also quite convincing under simple in-engine lighting and shadows. Basically high end PS2 SilentHill/MGS4 or… -
Projecting normals from uv ch1 to uv ch2 problems
So im working on consolidating a bunch of different objects onto a single texture sheet. I selected all the objects added a unwrap uvw modifier and rearranged them so they all fit into a single sheet using uv channel 2. Now when I do render to texture the diffuse transfers over fine, but the normals go to hell. First I… -
Re: I love and hate midjourney
Why did you take the video down? I'm sorry you feel attacked here, that is not my intent. I do think ethics are one of the main issues with the diffusion image generators, so yes, people will call others out on a perceived lack of ethics. And when someone is accused of ethical lapses, they should feel free to refute it, as… -
Re: An exercise in modular textures - Scifi lab UDK
I absolutely love this environment! It's quite amazing! I've been trying to learn a bit from it, and I had a question about the main material. I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I was looking through the main material, and what I was most curious about was the Diffuse Color 2 parameter. I was mostly wondering how… -
Re: Sketchbook: Hyshinara
First up: Test-baking diffuse and normal maps in Maya 2014. I'm testing the diffuse map baking for a G1 Transformers project in which I intend to model high-poly versions, face-colour the models, then bake the colour information onto the low-poly models. If I'm correct, this should give crisp, reference accurate results…
