Re: Terminator Shotgun
Hello SunSetter, welcome to the polycount :) Have you checked out the normal mapping thread yet? It's full of useful tips, tricks and solutions to these kinds of problems. Also there's a thread on Xoliul's viewport shader addressing some issues. Anyway, it looks like you are trying to apply normal mapping over sufaces that… -
Re: workshop#3-albino_goldfish
Looking good man, but don't you think 3.6 million is a little overkill for just a bat? That said, I feel like you've got some good detail on it, but you're losing it because the bat is too shiny, or there's not enough depth to the normal map. Along the lines of what KP said, if it's a used bat, it's going to be dirty yes,… -
Re: Save/Load UV, really, really not working. Ever.
just use internal units - anything else is 'fucking with your mind'. Internal units or generic units is what booth applications really work with. tricky stuff, since the vert array is most likely different like Talon mentioned - just rough same vertex positions won't do the trick the usual way. But there is trick- someone… -
Texturing Tips
A few members here have asked that I discuss my methods for creating maps. My approach is more suited to a realistic style. Texturing When I am first assigned a task, for example an Ammo box. I create A folder called Ammo_Box and I gather as much reference, and textures that relate to that task. If the Ammo box is made… -
Re: In need of some honest critique
I'll echo Bagel and point out scale, composition and level of detail as the main aspects blunting your work. You're pretty good, but these aspects—key in environment art—need further attention here. Buckle up because this post turned out long! Scale, composition, level of detail Their importance lies not only in making the… -
Paint my wood!
Ok, this question is in regards to a little more advanced texture painting techniques. Let's say you have some random pieces of wood, such as this: And your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go back over this wood and make it look like it has a worn painted look to it. Now, we are all familiar with the old… -

Re: Second Annual Poop Euro Tour: 2006 edition
EEE-DIN-BURG! Rick Stirling, where art thou? I'm thinking of getting the train down on the 14th (Ben's flight lands at about 2pm I think), hanging around there for the afternoon/evening, maybe check out the National Gallery 'cos Ben hasn't seen it, then getting the train back up to Dundee in the evening. Edinburgh… -
Re: [FINISHED] Medieval Monastery - Environment diorama
Hey Stefan! Sorry, I think my crit would have been more valuable earlier on. You're on the right track, but there are some major problems in your workflow. - You need to work on texturing a lot more. Your bricks aren't lining up, same with the thatching on the mini tower in the back. The red spots where the white paint is… -
Re: Creating Buildings and Levels With Pieces?
One way that helps me line up very simple unwraps like walls, is when editing your UV's in the UV Layout dialog in the upper right corner you can select a different texture to be displayed on the background of the layout editor (instead of the checkers) from that dropdown choose "Pick Texture"...then Bitmap from the…
