Re: k700 tractor model and texture wip
Some tweaks on the spec map , the shader , and started modelling details. For the diffuse i took some ideas from the Bradley tutorial : i reduced the value contrast for the dirt : hue and saturation are more important for dirt, and in general for the color map .. That i knew already,(and i think it's a useful principle)… -
Re: New Project
Right now it looks like you definately have some scaling issues. The roof tiles are too large. That rock in front is massive. You really should paint your textures or take the time in PS so they don't look too photosourced. Your house looks bland even though the concept has so much interest. Add some shadows between the… -
Re: First Real Character Attempt (Goblin Warrior)
I'd suggest you make your concept proportionate then. If I were you I'd stay away from the dominance war specifications. 10.000 polies and multiple highres maps is something you'll easily get lost in. Try something simpler first, 1000 or so, with just a diffuse map. -you won't get overwhelmed by the crapload of polygons… -
Re: Need help - AO questions
AO wont be baked on anything outside of the 0-1 space. If you want to share the same texture across several UV islands, offset them +1 or -1 in U or V, that way the UV island inside 0-1 will bake down the details, and the ones outside will be excluded from the bake, but will still tile ontop of that detail. for your last… -
Re: Best Consumer Digital Camera for Artists?
Hi Earthquake, thats pretty good info about PS and Dslr cameras, I also saw that pentax and thought of getting one, but I am really new to photography and it gets confusing as every camera I look at seems to offer outstanding quality...... and I can t really judge on this because of my lack of experience in this field… -
Re: Can You Tile A PORTION Of A Texture?
Thanks all, great info (as usual) Yeah, again, this question is in regards to implementing a 3D environment in the game engine "Unity" (which is now available for the PC btw!) Specifically, the way it works on an iphone is such that game performance decreases dramatically when you use too many "draw calls". Essentially, to… -
Re: Prometheus WIP
Muzz has an essential truth- for a good while I tried to model a mesh that was both game optimised AND hi-res sculpt/ZB/Mudbox friendly- and all my stuff was really crappy and no fun at all to do. If a hi res sculpt such as ZB will be part of the workflow for this, don't worry about the low res- I don't even make any pow… -
Re: Workflow
Yeah if someone ask me my workflow it's like: Study concept, gather additional reference if needed (assuming I'm not designing the thing - if I am: study refs and do design work here) Block out major proportions, save copies to help when generating low Do high poly/detail work sub-d or sculpting in zBrush here depending on… -
Re: Mr. Bean's Head Modeling Study and Experimentation
Thank you for the advice; I have tried many tutorials, and more than once too, but I should probably to it more systematically like you're suggesting. I really appreciate the tip. Okay, so I've ruled out tutorial #3 as well. That leaves tutorial #1 and the Veoh one that Psyk0 linked. The only thing about the Veoh one is… -
Re: Workflows for games, movies and other environments
Option A: you don't need to retopo and unwrap, because you aren't going to texture it. Option C: 2) I'm not sure about that the Zbrush unwrapping is enough good in every cases, and I'm sure, Zremesher is not enough when we are talking about games. But it makes good result to use as a base lowpoly, that you can optimize…
