Re: Easiest way to make a height map from a model?
Yeah, a planar map from the side with a gradient will work fine too, then you can just do a simple diffuse bake without worrying about height settings. Its a little more work though, so I probably would skip it and just do a few quick, small height test bakes, which would only take a few seconds. Yes, 0-255. =P -
Re: 2K Res Textures Free for Commercial Use
Not to play the arse hat here (Why change eh?) but these textures are... Well, not amazing. They are a few diffuse textures that you can get with no issue from CGTextures, and then a collection of normal, spec and displacement maps, all of which look like they came right out of crazybump with no changes and are in my… -
Re: Preparing your model for Zbrush goodness
what lupus said -- oh and make sure you got that crappy quick edit mode OFF otherwise it's all aliased bumpviewer material has to be loaded from the directory, it's not in the default list. if you want to rip to normal in zmapper, convert the b&w to alpha and use the displacement view settings (these use the alpha as the… -
Re: Blast Door
No info, what's the story here? At a glance, you have some interesting level of detail modeled into the hinges , but not so much anywhere else. The rivets are upside-down, but they shouldn't have lighting in the diffuse anyway since you're using a normal map. Unfortunately, your normal map isn't doing anything because I… -
Re: UT3 & Gears Environment Art
haha, no I understand completely the concept of compositing. Thanks for trying though. :poly124: I was just wondering if Kevin stumbled upon something I was trying to do in the past but not succeed. And that is hit it all in one shot with skylight/lighttracer and default scene specularity under render elements. Deleting… -
Re: Post your first normal-mapped asset.
Honestly, you guys are insane! posting crazy quality work as ur first normal mapped model :D well i guess maybe alot of you did diffuse only before that :o but yea mine was shite! but here it is anyway :D hurts lookin at it again tho! Oh EarthQuake did u ever work on any Doom 3 mods ? or was that model just for funtimes ?… -
Re: i have never finished a character model.
Well yeah Blaizer is right, not 10 hours without standing up haha But let's say you start your day at 10 am on a sunday ... spend maybe 2 hours concepting and looking at cool refs ... it's very possible to come up with a mini project, maybe diffuse only, that can be tackled in one afternoon. Check out simple stuff like… -
Re: SKETCHBOOK: ENODMI
Really digging the new works man. I think you're doing some very interesting things with your edges. The most recent has some great lighting and shadow diffusion. It might just be me, but it seems like there should be a greater jump between values in the mid section of the lock. As it is now, it reads a little matte / wet… -
Re: Uv Mapping a building
I think you should learn the modular approach, it's quite powerful and it's an excellent skillset to have in your bag of tricks. http://wiki.polycount.com/ModularMountAndBlade http://wiki.polycount.com/CategoryEnvironmentModularity Edit... yes UDK supports tiling. The part that might be confusing is the second UV set used… -
Re: M730A2 Guided Missle System
Crazyfingers: Thanks for the comments and support this def is no bad ass tank hehe but it is unique in its own way hehe. Next projects are taken atm but I will def do something bad ass with a real tank. Here is a smallish update on spec map and diffuse its about done now I think. Just need to get it into the call of duty…
