Re: Police Ballistic shield
Stitching is pretty basic. Say you have a cube... and you UV map the top first, then you select one of the sides and UV map that. You can then arrange those 2 sides and stitch the seam where the top joins to the side. Therefore, when you texture this, there is no discernible seam on the texture. It allows you to create UV… -
Re: Police Ballistic shield
It looks like you followed cgtuts+ tutorial.That tutorial focuses more on movie/still renders then on game art you should create the low poly mesh and then bake the normal/ao from h-poly mesh and tools like pro optimizer are really only useful if you want to take a mesh from sculpting tool to modeling tool like 3dsmax… -

Re: Police Ballistic shield
Great attempt, I hope you learned something from the process. But its back to the drawing board for this asset. Everyone here has kindly given you advice, all correct and very helpful. I would definitely look at your unwrapping and texturing, the above UV is a mess in terms of creating a great diffuse, its broken and… -
Re: Police Ballistic shield
I'm probably going to reiterate what everyone else has said, and it's all steller advice. You've done exactly what I did when I first started making models. That UV Unwrap modifier can be a scary looking thing, and the most calming way to go about it is to let the modelling program arrange the UVs for you. (which I believe…
