Hello. I've been working on this model of a classic GM New Look bus also known as the "Fishbowl", I intend to keep it roughly around 100k polygons for the finished model while maintaining as accurate looking proportions as I can. When the model is done (hopefully soon) I intend to make some renders of it with a heavy…
Little progress update. I took a few days off from the project to avoid burnout, but I am back to working on it in my free time again. Most of the front doors is done with the exception being the folding arms that are attached to the top and bottom of each door. I also started laying out the interior though there isn't…
Additionally to the PDF's from Hamish Ames, here is some one and a half hour tutorial/workshop with him from "Beyond Extent" about hybrid trimsheets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzj1D7pyILI
@sacboi Lol I didn't know my methods were that badly dated but I guess it's no surprise to myself given I mainly take inspiration from old games. On the other hand I actually did have some desire to learn some of the more advanced texturing stuff I see like procedural materials and such. I would love to learn how to do…
"I just make the textures entirely in Gimp (besides occasional temp edits just for visualization in Blender of course)." Ok well my compliments!I've been a member here since 2015, now if memory serves it's a first for myself replying to a thread where an artist is actually using an image editor to texture their work so…
@sacboi I honestly don't even really know the first thing about baking anything in Blender. For the most part I am just self taught from trial and error and some basic guides to solve specific problems. I have heard of high poly to low poly baking where I assume you model a high poly version and bake the shading and such…
@TypicalMale To elaborate, I'm only curious because at a glance your topology in my opinion had indicated either 'high flow' (high to low) or probable midpoly (hybrid trim sheets) baking methodology and as an aside personal preference nowadays I tend to lean toward the latter, when generating mostly static large scale HS…
