Re: N-Gons and Hardsurface workflow
As Neox said. You can have countless n-gons in your HighPoly when the Shading or the Light hits the Surface nicely. Mostly on Flat Surfaces its absolutely no problem. So set your Modeling Material to a High Spec and Gloss Value and start to model :-) (so its easy to see if the Surface shades well) -
Re: Eurocopter HAP (WIP)
Another update, got all the colors on and working on the localized stuff like the weapons and rotor blades. I have a soft spec all over and a temp AO so far. I have a few areas on the mesh I'd like to attend to like the step under the window, the exhausts for the engine and on the tail. Anyways here's the Update -
Re: tree scene [WIP]
so now i have the final version of the stone wall for you with Diffuse, Normal and spec. Im happy with the result and i think its looking very fine. In the next step i will add this wall in my tree sene. After that i will make some more branches. so i hope you like it peace -
Re: Photoshop Question - Tonal Representation
I would say no. It really depends what you are painting. Example: If you are painting wood. Wood is usually fairly monotone. Metal is another that you want very little contrast in. More contrast in the spec than in the diffuse. There is never usually a set "rule" for everything. They are just tools... And not every tool… -
Re: [KF2] Item Scavenged Tech Helmet
Reply by Sekoran · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Killing Floor 2 - Guns 'n Gear - CONTEST HAS ENDEDManaged to mostly finish the helmet, testing it out a bit inside UDK. Really happy with how it turned out right now, still going to tweak the spec a bit. Also considering doing some extra work on the side pieces with a hole or extra damage of some kind showing techy stuff (wiring etc.) inside. -
Re: Character Design - Sci-fi female
nice design. very minimalist and sleek. a bit of advice tho. you might wanna think about the specular on your next project if you are done with this one. the materials on this character are all reading the same finish. the spec really can change how we read the material surface, whether is be metal or fiber. good luck! -
Re: Gran Turismo 5
Modeling cars that need to be approved by the manufacturer takes some work and not a little understanding of how cars are designed. Blueprints only get you so far. You also have to take into account the technical specs, damage, UV's that work with scrapes/paintjobs etc. That said, 10k is at the high end and that's speaking… -
Re: Drift RX7 - Looking for texture crit
If I can figure out how to get alpha maps in Xoliul's shader I will use that, if not I will use Marmoset. Either way I want it to be in real time. The car already has spec applied, and the normal map only has info on the intercooler behind the grille (hard to see from that angle) and the brake disc. -
Re: Baking using textures with alphas.
Yeh it's a PITA. You would have to setup a camera then assign an AO shader, plug your alpha into that and then also render in mental ray or something that allows raytracing for the AO to actually work properly. The last time I did this sort of thing I used render layers to handle the other types of maps (diffuse, spec,… -
Re: WIP scifi environment in UE4
I added AO and changed up the lighting a bit to make it look more moody. Also I started adding some spec, roughness and metallic maps, and I'm leaving out the emissives until I'm happy with the materials and lighting. I also changed the colour of the green on the door to be a little less intense. Slowly but surely getting…
