Re: Smith & Wesson Gun
Your edges are really sharp. While machined edges are really sharp in real life and that looks great in the HP, it won't catch the light at all once baked down into the LP due to aliasing. Loosen up/smooth some of those edges and you'll have really good normals to work with when you finally bake it. Good work! :) -
Re: hard angles on curved objects
Bartalon, ok I tried that feature in max but the edges are extremely sharp. For instance, in modo you can set the angle of sharpness on selected edges and you can make them a bit smooth like they should be. Anyway, it seems that the only choice is to add more base topology and perhaps I can smooth some weird looking… -
Re: Snowboarding
Turned out nice buddy. I think my only real crit is the normal map for the face. It's too soft and doesn't provide convincing details. There should be a few sharp changes in direction at least somewhere on the face. Not totally sure where the sharpness should go, but it's reading as too baby soft with no creases at the… -
Re: ZB/Maya creation Dragon
To make it look more menacing think of sharp points and hard sharp edged surfaces. A forked tongue maybe interesting. The jaw also reminds me of the newer Godzilla film, which he was not to menacing in that movie either. You may want to throw a little color on it to see if the diffuse map will do the mesh any justice. Keep… -
Re: WIP - Circuit Stage Microscope (Van Heurck)
Hello again, Did some changes regarding sharp edges on some parts, also changed the screws since they were too sharp and pinched around the edges where the screwdriver goes in, changed mat to blinn so the edges are more highlighted. Next is the neck thingy that holds the drawtube Again, comments/critique very welcome -
Re: [WIP] Another Mermaid
Nice sculpt you have going! :smile: One thing I notice is that the face has a lot of sharp areas too it but the rest of the body doesn't making it feel incomplete. I'd say you could add sharp edges in other areas. As for the scales I'd just add size variations within the tiling texture itself. -
Re: Tank IS-3
If you don't have a poly count restraint, I might suggest a little more bevel on the low poly for the sharp edges, especially around the beak. Those sharp edges don't really help convey the thickness of the spaced armour. That's going to require another bake tho :( Are you painting in Substance Painter? It looks really… -
Re: Dwarf Forge
Great stuff here n8lugo, Your idea looks really promising + the sculpts promise an awesome, stylized outcome. Can't really comment on much yet, but give you a heads up regarding the sharpness of your meshes. Be careful not to make metal look too smooth and mushy, keep the sharpness in mind. Looking forward to the updates! -
Re: Normalize your textures!
No the normal map one it actually uses the same underlying code. Although you can choose to output 8 bits per channel, or 16. The 2D one though is a customization which bypasses the blue channel. I just wanted SBSARs I could open in Substance Player, and to share with people who don't have Designer. -
Re: Castle Environment
@nordahl: Thanks for the crits. The water's actually meant to be ice. I used these concepts when deciding on making the border pretty sharp. I may soften it up a tiny bit in future but it will still be pretty sharp. I adjusted the fog colour a little. Is this what you meant? I also made the transition between snow/no snow…
