Car: Hints on refining my textures?
BIG version Edit: Arhg! Photobucket resized my picture. :/ Hey guys. Guess it's a fish car. I have to refine the texture on this car by next friday. One of the several things I need to work on through thanksgiving. I'm mainly thinking about doing some subtle highlighting, only got some ambient occlusion baked in right now.… -

[ QUOTE ] it's all about doing the no-render realtime thing [/ QUOTE ]Those are specifically for real time, they are quick hacks aimed at mimicking the longer, more CPU intensive rendering methods. A spec map is a standard weapon in the industries arsenal. If you're learning real time techniques, you'll need to learn spec… -
Re: Car: Hints on refining my textures?
Environment map causes reflections, yeah. Used from anything from fully mirrored surfaces to a slight blurred gleam, it depends on the settings. Further, you can mask them, either with the specular map or another black/white map, that will define where the object does/doesn't reflect. Doesn't have to be a photo, though, so… -
Re: Car: Hints on refining my textures?
One thing that is sticking out to me is the lack of trim on the wheel wells. Definitely see how some dirt/mud/scratches would look on the body. Some hard specular highlights would help bring out some of the forms a lot, the chrome could use some color/variation too. The line-work on the door/trunk/hood could use some… -
Re: Car: Hints on refining my textures?
All I would add is subtle definition and highlights, along with other shaders such as specular and normal maps. Also, add some wear and tear such as dirt and light scratches(nothing big, since it's a car). I'll be watching this thread too since I'm not a genius on texture generation myself. -
Re: Car: Hints on refining my textures?
Thanks for the awesome feedback. Very informative. Will definitively try and put on a spec map. Edit: When doing a color spec map, is it just to use different shades of one color? -
Re: Car: Hints on refining my textures?
Vig: Thanks for that informative post, btw don't mean to hijack the thread, but is an environment basically just a photo map that will cause a slight reflection? thats what I gather from you're post. -

Re: Car: Hints on refining my textures?
Could try painting in some nice little subtle reflections on the window as well if you want.
