Currently working on an idea I had for a stylized skate park to probably end up being rendered in UE5 or something. I've been trying some different things like instead of having a cylindrical rail on the top edge of the ramp, a more square like one. I modeled out a bunch of different pieces to be put together but before I…
I see what you mean, I honestly thought about doing nails in the boards but I thought maybe it wouldn't be necessary since not in the reference, but I could see how it could make the actual model more interesting. I'll have to try that out. Thank you for the breakdown.
Hi! Some fixtures/ nails/ screws was just an idea to add some extra, small scale details. Another way to do so, would be to play with the plywood's grain pattern and knots/branches. To quickly explore different plywood layouts, you could sketch over the base ramp shape. Drawing in the structure beneath might help with the…
Further progress on the texturing. I feel like I like where it's gotten to here, and am confident in continuing on a set amount of models. I do notice there's some distortion on the top of the corner pieces here so more touching up the uv's for me. I attempted to do nails going across but I opted to not do them at this…
The reference seems more grounded in reality than your textures. I'd expect most of the plywood to be the same size and rectangular just offset with maybe some patches. Ramps like this are made with plywood for the sides as well, but the wear should be very different. The wear also changes on these ramps from flat to…
Thank you for your feedback, I agree with what you're saying. I'm curious about the smoothed over fixtures. Did you paint over those just to help remove the gaps there or are you saying instead of mini-rectangles, there should be just longer ones going vertically?
Hi! I think in your latest image, the gaps on the ramp look too exaggerated: The width/depth would impact the skating experience (getting stuck?) and visually it breaks up the surface too much. Perhaps thinking of the structure underneath, that the plywood is screwed/nailed to, will help you find a solution. If I had to…
Okay so I made a different material and I think this is much better. Still needs some adjustments in the saturation department, and the height on the edges may just have to go entirely since this is almost the lowest it can be. Then figuring out the transition in-between sides as there should be showing the edges of the…
