Thanks all! I'm really glad you liked it. And also thank you Ultra for that feedback on my 2D work, alas these days I only get the chance to do 2D when texturing :-P Hawken, we're actually using an open source engine: Open Scene Graph. But we will be using real pixel shading and different shaders, I guess the result will…
Much much better, just need to get that brass under control and you're in business. Well, one last thing, and MoP already covered it and its easier then you might think to fix, and that's the UV layout. There are a lot of broken pieces which chunks up the vertex count quite a bit. Every UV seam is broken and verts along…
Thanks for the replies. Kevin: After looking closer, I agree with you. I am going to try and match those colors closer and make them less saturated. DiminishedSelf: You're right , the Gulf and Texaco signs don't make much sense, I think I am going to change the pumps to Gulf signs. As far as the frontier gas sign, I didn't…
WOW B1LL WAS RIGHT! Normals maps are evil, look at all the hatred they cause!!!! Now my opinion on the whole painted vrs modeling thing, even for simple shapes i still prefer to model, creating bump maps by hand has always been a pain in the ass for me and i'de rather be in modo modeling that stuff any day, its not like…
Thanks for that Eric, directed me to a very useful code snippet (it renders each face to a buffer and if theres something already rendered it flags it as overlapped). I've known about this method but never had the time or inclination to code it :) test output for my above example 100 by 50 buffer, the uvunwrap modifier…
you can use render to texture across mapping channels to remove seams regardless of the base mapping used. It's a pain to do and can result in ultra distorted textures but it's an option :/
Tldr; Add colors, stop & do other things come back later. "stuck on textures" i am getting more into colors lately & i feel this is very "one toned". Maybe this is why it may not be interesting enough or satisfying for you? I can say for me (outsider looking in) things do feel off for me also. Did a search term that might…
Hey all, she's done!! You can find more on my Artstation page, including an idle animation, a map breakdown, and more! [https://www.artstation.com/artwork/0laD4E] I really invite you to check out the porcelain material on Sketchfab, It's hard to capture the way it reflects light in a simple image render. Special thanks to…
Not sure if you still need help, but I suggest you set a breakpoint in that line and check if the GetComponent actually finds your Renderer Component. My first guess would be, that it cant find it. It would also be helpful to see a full example of your code, because the problem may lay somewhere else. You can also try to…
