Re: Feedback Request: Guitar Textures
Hi! Nice model, but the materials could definitely use improvement like you said. First thing I would do though, is add some more dynamic lighting / environment. Right now it's too flat, and with these flat viewing angles as well it's quite hard to tell what the material is doing and therefore do any meaningful work to it.… -
Re: Vertex normals issue?
comes down to the angles on the surface, the normalmap might just carry it. Tho even with a working normalmap, we could get issues once the map is compressed, or mipped the problem arent the diagonals, those are there whether you make em visible or not. the issue is the undercut behind the gill what you could also do, is… -
Re: Exporting problem 3d max - x file
Some exporters allow you to set a scale when exporting, but I'm not familiar with the one you're using. To expand on what Poopipe said, to reset scale/transforms after you scale it go to... Command Panel > Hierarchy tab > Pivot tab > Click Reset: Transform and scale buttons. This is different than the xform utility and the… -
Re: Need Help Please!
I agree with cryrid, the UV layout isn't helping at all. It's wasting space and wasting pixels. You could make a few adjustments, straighten some pieces out and utilize more pixels. There is way too much lighting, highlights and shadows in the diffuse material. The diffuse is just color information with hints of lighting… -
Re: curvature map has very hard edge after baking
Apart from the little black artefact at the bottom that looks correct to me. If you want softer results you need softer changes in surface direction. A 90 degree corner is always going to give you very bright or dark value -
Re: Death Company Dreadnought
Hi! Surface looks somewhat glowy and the shading shows some gradients. Could be the material and/or texture setup (normal map: correct handedness?, correct texture type?, sampled correctly?). Does it look differently in Painter? Should look into this, as it overshadows the presentation. -
Re: Gamedev - texturing apporach
Almost everything we make is done from scratch in designer and either used direct or applied in painter. The only real exceptions to that are organics like rocks or ground surfaces where we use photosourced textures in conjunction with designer because it's just so much faster than building a convincing material by hand. -

Re: Topology feedback
Don't be afraid to use more geometry or ngons. Having a lot of edges terminating on one vertex can cause a lot of weird pinching, especially when close to other verts or not on flat surfaces. You can get away with lots of poles or messier topology on flat areas of the model. Also don't be afraid to break up the model, the…
