Re: Deadspace Door
Thanks. I feel like moving the destruction around helped quite a bit. I have a base layer in Mudbox underneath a rust layer and a dirt layer. I'm still painting through a stencil for the rust, while using a stamp brush for the dirt while erasing the edges to refine its shape. Does it look more defined now? -
Re: Deadspace Door
I think defining the materials will require you to start the roughness map, so get on that. Is the metalness 1.0 in all the straight metal areas? -
Re: Deadspace Door
You need to define your materials first, and then start adding details and wear. Also, preview in Marmoset Toolbag or something instead of Maya -
Re: Deadspace Door
Update from Mudbox on the base color. Am I doing better at defining the materials? Can you tell its chipping paint with some dirt? -
Re: Deadspace Door
Metal! Reflections! So after the tech thread (and asking around over at Unreal's forum) I have the metal reflecting better. I had to experiment quite a bit with various gloss, metal and color settings, as well as Unreal in general (skylights, skybox, ambient cubemaps, moved around some more in the free example levels that… -
Re: Deadspace Door
Here's the latest rust. dirt and metal. I'm still not sure about those outermost arms (I can't tell what the material is in the concept). I don't like metal on metal there, but I don't know how to balance the composition color-wise. Possibly a different colored metal (if I can find the reference to justify) or another… -
Re: Deadspace Door
@Minos: That was definitely a huge help. Mind if I use the color scheme as well? I'm all about simple color schemes myself and felt I probably needed to switch the light green out at some point. I didn't notice how hilarious the ultra happy green looked until I starting working on it while playing the Deadspace soundtrack… -
Re: Deadspace Door
Thanks. I'm working on the metal color. Admittedly a good amount of material definition with metal will come from the roughness, but I don't want to lose opportunity here to make it look right in the color as well. It will be a true metal indicated with a metalness map, however I feel it would be out of place with the rest… -
Re: Deadspace Door
OK, here's a serious update. 1) I recognized the way the metalness was working. Having fuzzy dirt in there was resulting in unwanted brush shapes on the material that looked like unnatural sheets of dirt. Therefore, I simplified the metalness and used the gloss to capture the dirt. 2) It was still too randomly busy so the… -
Re: Deadspace Door
I'm resurrecting this thread a couple months later. I have studied PBR, installed UE4 and am now doing my first PBR work ever. My primary concern at this point is of course, material definition. It needs to be clear what you are looking at. Above is my starting point. I usually don't get good results by starting with a…
