Re: Intratec Cat-9 Pistol
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Darken up the diffuse and go crazy with the spec. Good looking nextgen metal needs spec and diffuse that really work together.

Re: Intratec Cat-9 Pistol
bake a nice ambient occlusion map to add over the whole diffuse. -
Re: Intratec Cat-9 Pistol
I think CSS guns tend to have a ton more detail in the diffuse texture, less on the spec. Source never seems to handle it that well. You can also do some kind of reflection map on them, I think this tutorial covers it: http://www.fpsbanana.com/tuts/3683 -
Re: Intratec Cat-9 Pistol
[ QUOTE ] Ok, so darken the diffuse and brighten/contrast the spec? I used to do painted lighting, but I like this whole dynamic thing better personally :] Thanks. [/ QUOTE ] Brighten and put most of your surface detail into it, yeah. Most of your detail and contrast should come from the spec, on a nextgen(z!!) weapon… -
Re: Intratec Cat-9 Pistol
What I meant was fake the highpoly using a normal map and bake it in 3dsm, but then I realized that makes no sense because normal maps don't work with skylights D: Didn't take as long as I thought it would anyway Also, I think I'll resize the diffuse to 1024, the 2048 was mostly for the normal map. Also, will smoothing… -
Re: Intratec Cat-9 Pistol
[ QUOTE ] (communities like cdg and fpsb rely completely on diffuse maps for lighting for css weapons). [/ QUOTE ] Well, I think it's for a good reason. I completely understand why you'd want to make better use of spec/normal, but the Source engine seems to really do a pretty horrid job making use of them in most cases. It… -
Re: Intratec Cat-9 Pistol
It looks bland in game because Source doesn't do very nice lighting/shading on first person models. Additionally, you have zero color information in the diffuse/specular, so it's perfectly grey - this isn't as noticeable in max because you're using colored lights. Also you need to put a flat piece underneath the slide… -
